I just got a phone call from my daughter. Her husband tied the awning

This looks like a expensive toy to me.
I suppose if you had to park your trailer in a confined area this might be
worth the price.

talked to that had or has a 454 has told me that at one time or another
they have had an exhaust leak. You would think that Chevy would have

Temps are not bad for southern AZ.  Present temp of 68 as compared to 86
at Luke AFB at Phoenix.  I think one could actually survive a summer in
Sierra Vista.

it.

up we checked the operation of the UTB and there was no ...

fabric. The fabric is noticeably thinner. My question is when should you use
mat, and when should you use fabric?
