Thanks. I trapped a mouse (the mouse?) with a glue trap and added a wire cover over the heater vent. It is not pretty, but creates another barrier. If I decide to replace the vent, I'll look for...

Our 26BHS has 30 amp and we've never tripped the breaker. The 30 amp cord is pretty thick, stiff and sometimes hard to put back. I imagine that a 50 amp cord would be more so.

water in ceiling light fixture of Jayflight 26BHS

After a big rain, we found water in the light fixture above the bathroom sink in our 2015 Jayflight 26BHS. I've been on the roof and can't see where it could be coming in. I've seen on another...

We set our thermostat such that it will run the fan constantly during the night. We only hear a slight click when the compressor starts or stops. We have a 26BHS 2014.

We have a 26 BHS also, and had to strengthen the dinette. Our children probably contributed to the problem with the staples pulling out by sometimes climbing over the back of the bench.

will kitchen grease in the black tank hurt anything?

Thanks for the idea to use a dishpan to deposit the sink water in the toilet. Does anybody think that the grease from washing dishes would have any negative effect on the black tank? Doesn't seem...

I use a 12 volt cordless drill, and thought that it applied enough torque. It would be interesting to know how much torque is best, and use a torque wrench to get a sense for how much that is.

Narrow pillow to better fit on short bed?

I'm a bit too tall for the bed in our 26BHS, so I'm thinking about splitting a foam pillow long-ways so I can sleep with my head closer to the front wall. Do you all think this will work? Other...
