I was surprised to hear that Kentile was outa business.
See>http://www.freedomcarpets.com/kentile.htm
Having an extensive commercial flooring background I found it hard to believe.
Don't always believe what a retailer tells you! They just dont carry it and 
want to sell you something!
Check with any decent sized commercial flooring contractor and they will 
probably have left overs from large jobs for real cheap or could at least help you 
find what color you need!

Forget about the split rims.....just keep us up to date on Brownie's antics.

Hilarious.

Do I still want to use the Inteli-Power Charge Wizard if I switch to AGM 
batteries?

Yes.  The Charge Wizard doesn't care what type of battery it is monitoring.
In my opinion, the Inteli-Power should come standard with the Wizard, it's
that effective.

If it's the same cool looking antenna that's on the '70's Airstreams, you 
can get replacement gears from almost any RV dealer that has a parts 
department.

It a "Braund" replacement part number 11901 (Worm & worm gear). It cost me 
$6.00 a year or so ago (so cheap, I bought two, just in case... :-)

When you replace the gears in your antenna be extremely cautious because the 
base is cast alum. It has a small rod in the front that you have to take out 
if you have to replace the antenna portion. The holes in the base that this rod 
goes into will break really easy. The base cost new about 40.00. Keep the 
gears greased each year and they will last longer. The sun is really hard on the 
plastic. jauman

This rod -- is it a rollpin you are referring to?

Glyn, Glyn, Glyn,

I give you full access to the front of my Safari, with the goucho up or 
down and you miss a picture or measurement.

Seriously, is there something that I can take a picture of and send to 
you, or describe?
