    read on a diesel forum about using a wet bounce fabric softener sheet to clean bug guts and crap from the truck. I tried it and it works awesome on the truck. Was wondering if anyone tried it on the camper, especially the front cap.

  9. Question about furnace when stored

    We would like to run the fan on the furnace to circulate electrically heated warm air through out the trailer while stored. Is there any problem with turning off the propane and then turning on the furnace? Will this cause the automatic striker to burn out? Thanks, Karen
