I was lucky enough to be hosting at a state park campground in northern Michigan during the last one and got a good view of it through a welding mask.

Replaced foam in dinette benches

I'm a full timer, so my trailer gets a lot more wear & tear than most. After 10 years, the foam rubber in the dinette cushions was just shot. I had ordered some replacement foam rubber from Amazon...

Hope this isn't too political, but I suspect it has more to do with the "green energy" initiative than what is easier/cheaper to install. Just as they are trying to get rid of all the natural...

It could also be the ON/OFF/RESET switch on the furnace itself. Back in the day, I use to leave one of my propane tanks off . . . so I'd know when one ran out. The open tank would always run dry at...
