MM, we keep the small freezer pack in the freezer until we are ready to come home then put it in the refrigerator to keep everything cold on the way home. Seems to work pretty well.
When our propane ran out on our second trip due to the leak in the hose, we limited the door opening and put the freezer pack in the fridge for the last day of the trip and things were still cold.  I find our refrigerator is pretty well insulated.
 
Campfires are Not included in the dark skies, nor are flashlights for taking "the long walk" , just extra lights outside.  Not a problem for us as in forty years of tent camping we never carried even a Coleman lantern -did make for a few meals cooked by headlights though!LOL
 
Outbound, maybe it is an Alberta thing? Or maybe the fellow at our walk through was just being extra cautious.

I just want you to know that the availability of Robertson screwdrivers is not a question of remoteness. In Canada it is the standard type of screw used (square head) and can be found in any size hardware store. I"ve heard carpenters argue about which is better to work with. Americans seem to prefer Philipps. I think Robertson is better. It's a bit like Obama care vs.the Canadian single payer system. Guess which I think is better. Vive la difference!

I know this was answered, but I want to make sure. What kind of spray are you using on the slide out? Also, can it be used to make the gaskets stop sticking? My problem is with the garage on our 182. The garage seems to be sticking to the rubber gasket.
Any suggestions on what to get for this problem?

Thanks!

I agree with you, square head or Torx (star head) is superior to the Phillips.  Hard to keep a good grip on a Phillips head under high-torque situations and then it gets stripped.

Can of silicon spray on the garage seals and the slideout seals.  Direct info from the FR technicians themselves!  SmileSmile
