We snuck in our last camping trip of the year this past week. I found the last of our cold air
leaks around the window exit. The foam strips have shrunk and also there were gaps between
the foam pieces attached to the window frame. should be draft free after some new foam.
After watching the video on winterizing a pod, only took 20 minutes or so to get the job done.

That's ok about rubbing it in. I would rather have a winter and only 1.2 million people in our state.
I do like your NASA exhibit and tour though.

Florida is fine but I prefer a state without the snakes and big lizards.

Can you comment some more on repairing the 'foam strips' in the exit window? Did you open window to remove / replace foam.  Did you buy foam from Home Depot ... What type / size? Sticky foam? Many thanks Smile as I'd like the reseat my window as well and not sure what I have to do.

pop open the window and you will see the strips on the window frame side that opens up. I have not
replaced the foam yet, got a few months of winter to do it. I will take a pic of 2 tomorrow for a better explanation.
