Brew - There are some silver ones that I'm considering if the HF ones I've had won't cut it. (I keep forgetting to dig them out again.)

Speaking of which.... Now, *this* is enticing!

Mornin' my friends!

Ohio.... I got that HF email too. My thoughts were "gee, thanks!". I might be more inclined to use it when the new HF is finally open. I think my Wife is scared of that store opening about a mile away from home.

Brewster, I remember my great-grandfather making those tire covers out of plywood. He always painted them black. Those were the days!!

Hey, if you have the wood lying around , why not ? That works!

I could just keep my slides open all year around. That would more than cover all wheels back there. Well, except for the spare.

I wanna camp out right in the middle of Salt lake city, lots of action out that way lol.

BTW, - I guess I'm done with cheap caulk guns. I about bent that thing in half moving the caulk out of there. Granted , it was a little cold. I heated the tubes up, didn't help much. Had to wrap my belt around the damn thing. Yep, the moon was out finishing that job up . I have a couple good guns arriving today, -

Amazon Amazon


If they don't work well, I'm going cordless.


But yea, nothing like doing all that prep work and you gun don't work. That roof repair was a large job than first expected. There was a section you couldn't see that well which wasn't caulked at all. The antenna plate on the underside of the antenna wasn't done at all. That gets a layer butyl before going down. So it's been leaking for 2 or 3 years in that section. Didn't notice it until there was puddle below the antenna in the trailer about a month back. So drying the thing out properly, getting the roof adhesive to reactivate was a chore. I think I saved her though, need more sun on that roof to know for sure. Time will tell.

You still see those around here every now again.

Well, have to head out to the kids place get some work done on it. It might hit 80 this week. Need to finish up a few AC mods, still have a couple fans to install in the top vents. That's it for the trailer this year...I hope!

Dam sure don't want to make the covers work like this.
Melt cars? Please don't melt the dog!

If you make plywood ones, use a couple hinges so they fold down for easy storage.
