Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains are pretty in the fall.

I definitely need my beach fix next year! Myrtle will probably be the XLRs only big trip out of camp next year.

Those are great spots for sure Doug but similar to Maine and we tend to like to ride the Spyders and General during our limited fall woods camping trips... not that it would never happen... The Spyders would be fun in either of those spots! I really would like to do Myrtle when it’s not so hot and overrun someday though....

Myrtle is our Thanksgiving and Christmas go to. Never to crowded and not so hot. Plus, it's less than 2 hours from us.

We could all do Thanksgiving in Myrtle some year. I'd be in for that.

Alright Rodney, you'll be happy to know I got around to installing the Mor-Ryde shackle kit today.
I'll get some photographic evidence this week sometime, still need to get pics of the sunshade I installed as well.

Ugh, four night camping trip with heavy rain one day pointed out that my picture window in the trailer leaks. I'm not sure if this is a DIY project or not. I'm not even sure where in the window the water came in from.

Good job Chad. Not sure what your hurry was but....

Jim, I would think it would be a DYI fix. You could start by resealing the window in place. If that doesn't work, you can pull it and reseal when reinstalling. It's likely just an inner and outer frame that screw together and sandwich the RV wall. I've pulled them before. Just unscrew all the screws on the inside that hold the two sections together. The frame will easily come off the inside leaving the outside frame and the glass. Work your way around with a putty knife to loosen it. I'm not sure how big your window is. If it's really large, it would be wise to have a another set of hands (or two) to help...

My RV window is about 3'x5'. Is it Butyl tape that is used to seal the edges?

While I agree that removing the window, and re-doing the entire opening is probably the more complete method, my rear picture window was leaking too after the first long road trip last year. I have the frameless windows, and the dealer found the leak and laid in a bead of caulk along the body, behind the lip of glass, and its been fine ever since. You might consider trying that route before removing the entire window and possibly creating more leaks.

Howdy Gang!

We got a real toad choker here last night, so if I had any places that could leak, they would have shown up. It looks like I've managed to seal them all up over the last few months.

Have a great day all.
