Glad to hear you all replaced the locks and it was very easy.  The idea of hiding a spare set of keys in one of the compartments makes a lot of sense.  Will put in a hook and keep spare set there.  In any event, Safe Travels to all.

yes definitely need a quieter A/C unit. I was really surprised at the loud thunks when starting and stopping  (cycling) the compressors. Folks on this forum have told me that is "normal."

If I only had the time.  Getting ready to head out next week for Eastern Oregon for about 5 days.  I have a really big birthday coming up August 2013 so we are reprising our trip to Yellowstone.  They are already taking reservations for next year.  Have invited lots of family, and should be much fun. Looks like some might even come.  Non-campers, but will show them around.  Safe Travels.

Thanks for the info, Bob.  If you do find a quiet replacement for the A/C let us all know!

Just received the longer locks from Amazon.  They issued a free return via UPS.  Will credit my account the full amount including the original shipping charge.  Can't beat that.  Anyway, installed the new longer versions and they fit just right.  Now that my confidence level is at an all time high, maybe I should replace the A/C just for practice.  Safe Travels.


Smile With this confirmation I have ordered a set.  Thanks.
