Without taking the inside fascia off the silde, there's no way to expose it.. At least not that I have found just yet..
The sun is shining now so I have a bit of nice weather to work on it...

The most important thing that Randy said in that statement " Momma's Happy"
That means it's a good day. Good going Randy!

That is good news!

What do you do for a living?

I work as a Materials Manager for a foam fabricator. We do not manufacture foam, but cut it in to sizes and shapes from large blocks. We make boat seats, hospital mattress and a bunch of direct to retail products. Been there going on 23 years.

Thanks!
Toy hauler will probably stay in AZ and the little trailer will bring stuff back to MN in the spring.. I may look into buying a much smaller camper for weekends away up there.. Of course after living in a camper for 6 straight months, I may be camped out too... We'll see....
