[A/S] Re: [VACList] Condensation



Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the comeback. The original hose is in fact, a larger diameter
hose than the others, but it doesn't have a large dip as you describe.  Now
that you mention the "clue," I'll add that to my "attention to detail" list.

Also, today, I added a new item to our "ready to roll list." It's called
"check all window latches."  Yup, the window was closed when we left the
campground, but it opened when a truck went by us. That got my attention
fast and prompted an immediate "get off" at the next exit. Fortunately, no
harm was done.

The windows on this "new to us" Airstream are very easy to close from the
outside. I had been closing them that way all week long - just before dusk
when the gnats and mosquitos join us for their supper.

As we left this morning, my visual inspection showed all windows closed. My
mistake was in not remembering I had closed them from the outside and hadn't
latched them.

I hate it when I do dumb things,

Terry

PS - Today, we continued along to New Orleans for a visit with #1 son (F-15
pilot) and family. I suspect he'll be in his "non-commital mode" about where
his next "vacation" will take him. Maybe it'll be someplace different from
10 years ago when he went to Saudi Arabia and flew in Desert Storm.
