I did this fix at the rest area on I90 just after Cle-Elum going East... For those familiar with the area, you know where that is.. (this is not the pic from that rest stop, but when I got home today) Seems I forgot to twist the lock tabs on the covers (yes, both top and bottom, but only lost the bottom one...) It must have lasted at least some 50 miles after leaving Puyallup. I noticed the drain tube flopping out in the wind from my mirror and thought... "well, that's weird... Maybe it's the slide gasket?. Well, we have the next rest stop in about 15 miles.. Will check it out there) Nope, the minute I look, I knew exactly what it was and what I forgot to do leaving Puyallup, WA about 2 hours prior! Rigged this up in the rest stop in about 15 minutes.. Worked great and the propane never blew out even with the cover MIA! It was running just fine at the rest stop.. Anyway, I have always carried cardboard and lots of zip ties, duct tape and a "ton" of other stuff on my travels and while I might not ever use it ever, I'm glad I have it when I need it! I carry WAY too much stuff on each trip.. Full set of tools, jacks, jack stands, saws, you name it, I probably have it! ha, ha.. I've even dropped a gray water tank on my old Prowler TT several years ago and I was able to fix it on the road (well, in the camp site) with what I brought with me.. Folks say they don't pack 'water' to save weight.... Well, I carry water and a ton of tools and other stuff and I have people asking if I happen to have any tools at times they can borrow.. Anyway, just what works for me and I know I don't have to rely on any "road service" to rescue me for some basic things... Sure, a vehicle engine failure would cause some grief, but I'll deal with that too.

Got lucky and found a Dupli-Color can of sparay that is very very very close to the RV.. Made the formerly tri-color cover monochrome but nobody notices it You can get the part at most major RV places . Comes in both white and black. Home is where I park it. 2005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total loss after a semi "nicked" it.

Nope... "It'll take a couple weeks to get one in".. I ordered one off of Amazon for around $50 and it'll be here 7/31.. Anyway, been doing this "RV" thing for awhile now and there will always be something that catches you and make your trip one to remember!

Our old TT had the upper and lower exit windows in the bunks. Well my daughter must’ve bumped it and knocked the latch loose. Lost the window somewhere south of Atlanta on 75. After that I bought some double sided Velcro and used that to hold it from bumping open.

Ya, it'll be something else, more frequent as you get older!

Well, lets just say that gets added to the "list"... Already pretty old as far as I'm concerned... Ok, "only" 56 and my wife is 65, so yes, we are old... But, still have lots of life in us and still lots of mistakes to make! That's what is going to make this whole thing worth it!
