  1. Annoying problems and trailers go hand in hand.  I really expect them and just don't let them get me down.  We had a Jayco Kiwi which I loved and had many years of camping memories in, but it was not without it's problems.  The first year we had a roof leak, the gasket around the front bunk had to be replaced about 3 years in, there was a leak around the rear bunk frame which I had to repair about the second year, the final thing was the door gaskets around the front storage area leaked, rotted the floor under the vinyl and had to be replaced.  Anytime you cut a hole in a trailer, you open up the potential for a leak.  I have concluded, after nearly 30 years of owning trailers, that water is the true enemy to all trailers, that with time every trailer will leak somewhere, and the best solution is prevention, so I am up on the roof every spring recaulking and looking for roof damage, as well as checking all door gaskets.  As far as loose drawers and cabinet doors, loose plumbing joints, loose electrical connections - I figure that goes along with dragging a house over bumpy roads for hundreds of miles.  I look at these things as what makes camping exciting and challenging.  I feel a closeness to the pioneers who had to fix broken axles and wheels and fight off renegade Indians while heading west whenever a jack stand breaks or the heater won't light.

  2. I have been waiting for the April release, too.  You can now download the series on the Nook from B&N.  Sweet!

    Things I haven't thought of to look for on my Nook.....sounds like a plan for tomorrow  :banana:

    Until the Nook color came out, Kingdom Keepers weren't available.  I guess B&N marketed the Nook to adults, and targeted the younger market for the Nook Color, so "children's books" were added to the ebook lineup.  I would periodically do a search on Ridley Pearson and one day - poof- there was a huge listing for Kingdom Keepers, the Peter Pan series - all his children's books.  So I downloaded book 3 in the series and now am waiting for book 4.  I saw the release date on the B&N computer about a month ago.
