My 77 travelcader has what I assume to be the storm windows they are nothing more then acrylic (plexiglass) cut to size and attached with a two sided tape.

Re: Smart RV Products Fridge Fix

No Rostam. Just curious how long the battery would last. Yes the battery may not have been in great shape. For traveling I think Salty has the right idea, although I've always let it run on gas when underway. On the other hand my brother has never been able to keep his running on gas when underway, ...

Re: Smart RV Products Fridge Fix

I had one 3 way fridge. It emptied the battery in less then 2 hrs. Have since only bought 2 way. Gas consumption is minimal.

Why is Joe Blow allowed to tow a 25 to 35 foot trailer weighing from 5 to 15 thousand lbs on a regular license? With maybe a truck that underwent a cursory inspection las...
