We are still working on outfitting our new-to-us travel trailer, deciding on what modifications to make (especially to maximize storage) and adding items that make it fully livable. This recent package contained adhesive towel and toilet paper hooks, soft-sided cubicles to fit a narrow storage cubby, a short spatula and a laundry bag. An earlier purchase included small spice racks with hooks to hang cooking utensils and mugs — utensils have to measure under 10” to fit.
Bill has been testing all the systems on the 10-year old Coachman Apex. Everything appears to be working like new . . . except the refrigerator. It chills very well on shore-power (electricity) but does not work on propane. After trying several possible fixes, we made an appointment for the dealer to check it out.
Back in January I bought a set of Derwent Graphitint paints and painted out these swatches to make my own lightfast test. The upper card has been taped in a sunny south window for over 5 months — no visible fading! The penciled-in numbers next to each color on the lower card shows the manufacturer’s ratings on a scale from 1 to 8. Port and Juniper had the lowest ratings yet showed minimal fading in my test. The sun in Texas is intense so I was very pleasantly surprised!
