Thanks to All and a Request

BIG THANKS to all for helping and sharing! This is a great place to be!

My request, show us pics with your post. I love pics. It doesn't matter what they are. They are prettier than words.

For new members, let's see what you got! I know you are happy and excited to have the RV, just as we were.

So here is a pic of my Tyvek tape. Keeps the pests out, sticks good, doesn't leave residue or pull decals off.

On mine when I store it outside I usually remove the covers and put them into a black trash bag and reinstall them with the bag over them. That way when I get ready to use the trailer I can see the bag over it and remove them prior to use. Sorry I don't have any pics at the moment.

I can't see the edges of the tape. Do the tape strips allow air to circulate while the fridge is operating?

I applied fiberglass screen to the inside with hot melt to hold it in place. But they do make screens that snap in to prevent insect intrusion.

Mr. Dan, the tape is there when we do not use the fridge or propane heater. Just have it on when we store. Did the same with the hot water heater vents.

I hot glued fiberglass screen inside mine and have had no pest problems, of course, I never had any pest problems before. I just call it preventive maintenance.

Here’s on for you. From last Southern Kentucky camp trip. She was only about 25’ away, until my dog bolted toward her! How do I rotate photos?
