Thanks Ed, I will take it apart at our next stop and take a look.

Same here only 12" but had slides open as we were planning on heading out on a trip tomorrow. Cleared the slides today and about half of the snow on the top. 40's tomorrow so that should take care of the rest of it. Have about a 150 yard uphill gravel drive to reach the main road and my tractor is stuck in a drift near the top. Can't finish clearing the drive until I get the tractor out and so far its too slick up there to pull it out. Won't be leaving for a few days.

That is a fact. Just ordering dog food pays for itself. Two day shipping is just icing on the cake. The video privileges are not the best, but they get better every year.

I am holding off on my purchases for the TT till closer to pick up. Do not want to waste any warranty time.

But, I could order the Progressive since it has a lifetime warranty.
Amazon, here I come.

Finally got a break from the non-stop rain and was able to un-zipper it a bit and check out the condition inside. Been covered since early November and still looks good - no signs of any condensation. Also went through everything in the under-bed storage. Pulled a few things out that we didn't use and re-organized it. Found the white electrical tape and barber-poled the negative cross-over cable between the batteries. Cover comes off late February so I can get it down to the dealer for a wheel bearing re-pack/brake inspection before heading off on the first trip of '16.

Tried to turn on the 50" TV in my 5 day old Precept 31ul. Nothing on the scan on either antenna or cable. Also no DVD. I traced all the wires and the connections and found that the dinette slide cut all the wires leading to the TV. I don't know if all the Precepts are wired this way but the DVD player in the living area sends the signal to the bedroom TV and outdoor TV as well.

Since it was 76 degrees earlier this afternoon and it was time for my monthly generator run, I fired up the Onan and after it warmed up a bit I turned on both a/c's for an hour. All worked perfectly.

A couple of days ago we received from Amazon a Viair 88p 12-volt compressor to add to the tool kit. This should make it a breeze to top off the tires while the TT sits in our storage lot. In the long run much cheaper than pulling the trailer to the nearest gas station every few months to pump up the tires. I did a lot of reading here on the forum about air compressors. There were many Jayco owner testimonies about the various brands available. Hopefully I picked a good brand of compressor that will last a long time and serve our needs. I can't wait for my next day off so that I can give that puppy a try.

Getting ready to make my second cup and then a bite of breakfast after a bit. The rain just stopped and hopefully it stays stopped. I'm getting web feet and the river is rising.

I slept through some bad weather last night, but woke up at 3:00am this morning. I was wondering what woke me up since it was just raining when I woke up. No clue until I was making my morning rounds and saw the 3:00am sound maker 200' from my site.

Glad to know you are okay. And they call them widow makers for a reason.

Looks like it did take out a deck and stairs.

Yikes.
