It was great to see Glenn and Patty again! I'm glad they stopped in my small little town for the night. Had a quick little hour or so visit after work, then had a big storm in town that night. Thankfully Glenn said he didn't get any damage. Winds blew 70-80 mph. Trees down everywhere. Sounds like your trip to Michigan went well.

No major damage but I did find a little damage. A tear about six inches long on each side of my slide awnings. I took the tension out of the awning and gooped the edges and it hasn't torn any more yet. I'll check on warranty when I get home. When I saw the storm coming I put the satellite's down and hung on, this camper really rocked!
Any luck with the ac?

Yessir. A new capacitor seems to have fixed it. There's not much I will be able to do without installing a new unit. I still haven't gotten the fridge to work and I either have a converter or battery issue I'll tackle this week. But hey, we have AC and hot water. What else do you need!!??

The explorer actually towed pretty well. The tow/haul mode works real well. But I was powerstroke dreamin the entire time I yanked that little trailer around.

Nice, but I'm kinda surprised with all that time and money invested, he didn't fix the seats before slapping them in. Also a little suprised there's no dress up stuff under the hood.
Not perfect by any means, but since it's so old, I'd give him $2,000 for it now just from the photos. It is really old afterall.
