Window blinds

We replaced all the blinds in our 27RLS. We found a discount place here in Phoenix that carried blinds and I cut the blinds to the size we needed.

We're very happy with the change.

Yes. We'd repacked the bearings. We'd traveled over a thousand miles with no issue. Just happened I guess. Now, I check every time I stop for gas or whatever.

Wheel bearing caps come off while driving

Last year we had one of the caps on our trailer wheel (bearing) come off somewhere while driving. As you may have guessed, the bearing lost the grease and was destroyed.

Metal film under carpet

It could be but seems too thin and it's laying on top of what appears to be like rubber matting. It doesn't go all the way to the wall so I suspected anti-static.
