Kris, I feel your pain. Just had the critters do $1600 worth of damage to our TV. I'm sure it was squirrels at the CG where we are hosting. Truck would not even start. Insurance covered all but my deductible, but it's still maddening!
 
The worst part is our new truck is waiting for us back home at the dealer.

Thats a good motto. Did or do you you cover the jack itself?

I should probably cover my jack. I know that one day water is going to get into those switches.

I've paid for some damage in past, fixed most myself, but regardless, it's thousands in damage over the years. Price of country living I guess. My nemesis are ground hogs, I'm pretty sure it's them. I've seen them standing up beneath my vehicles like they are changing the oil. I keep the ground hog body count pretty high for the vultures and coyotes/fox cleanup crews, but they keep getting me.

Went out to camper the other night went to turn on Bathroom light but turned on fan, and my fan cover shattered to pieces. Luckily I have a big external vent cover on it so no water will get in. I only close the inner cover during winter. O well another project.

camping life is full of projects i just sent the camper in for a spa treatment (new shoes, replace some seals, inspect the roof.....) awaiting the call to pick er up.
at least i was able to replace the blue fridge light and broken fridge handle myself - save some $$.

so looking forward to the Rally. We are not getting snow, but we do have frost warnings tonight.
Our first outing for the season is in 4 weeks. just got the camper back from the shop for some maintenance items. and a new observation/backup camera just arrived as the Furrion i have lived up to its reputation - fogged over.... just have to install this new one and de-winterize the camper.

To all our FROG Friends:
Although it's late, it's still good.... Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!
Jelly Bean Prayer
Red is for the blood He gave,
. Green is for the grass He made.
Yellow is for the sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night,
Black is for the sins we made
White is for the grace He gave
Purple is for His hour of sorrows
Pink is for our new tomorrows,
A bag full of jelly beans
colorful and sweet,
Is a prayer,is a promise,
Is a special treat,
May the joy of Christ’s
Resurrection fill your hearts
and bless your life,
Happy Easter.
Bill and Anne
