experience pulling and using a popup, so on camping issues we are well
versed.  I am starting to go through the camper now and will ...

I ordered my AC on E bay today. Should be here tomorrow. I got a low profile
13.5  Carrier??  7.5 inches tall so it should no increase my over all

Go! 2000 29-5E Fox on the Portland Craigslist site ...

Hi Kevin; We installed the Dirt Devit in each of our last rigs. The install
is very easy, requires few tools, less than an hour to complete. Performance
is adequate although we take the house hold unit out to the rig about twice
a year for a thorough cleaning of the high traffic ...

No..  she didn't die, or give up..  I just got my [new] hydraulic
levelers installed..   The first time this ol' girl has had the load off
her springs in 26 years..     I can easily lift all 6 wheels clear off
