[A/S] KoolOMatic etc

["Alan P. Owens" <apolaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just purchased an 89 Excella 1000 34 footer.  I picked it up in 
Massachusetts where it was covered in snow and ice.  I was afraid to try to 
check the fans as they might have been frozen shut.  Since I have had it 
home, yesterday, have not had a chance to hook it to a power source.  I 
have the owners manual and inserts but there was nothing on the KoolOMatic 
fan.  It is in the bedroom and has a slide in cover, which I suppose is for 
winter use or when it is not being used.  There is a thermostatic control 
mounted above the heater thermostat on the wall in the BR.  Any comments or 
opinions on the fan would be appreciated... did find the manufacturers web 
site but will have to call them to see if they can forward any info.

	Also if anyone has the same trailer, the Ceiling light in BR is 
missing.  There is a small hole where the wiring is visible and some screw 
holes where the light fixture may have been attached.  Am I correct in 
assuming that it is the site of a missing light fixture....all else in the 
trailer seems fine for its age... will need some cosmetic stuff but seems 
good overall.

	I had posted looking for possible campgrounds on the route back either off 
the Jersey Tpk or in Northern Delaware.... did not get any responses but 
Patty Raimondo asked me to pass along any info as she was planning on going 
to Sarasota... I have no good news.  I don't have the booklet before me but 
located two campgrounds, I think in the AAA booklet... One was at the split 
of Routes 13 & 40 in State Line Delaware which is just below the Delaware 
Memorial Bridge.. That was a Motel and Trailer Park.  on the Right or West 
side of the Road.....at the split I passed it at about 40 MPH but it looked 
like the Bates Motel in decline, with a couple of Tractor Trailer boxes 
sitting in the parking lot.  Its neighbors were a Psychic and an Adult book 
store... I didn't bother to stop... did find something further South near 
Harrington Delaware well off the road... it would be hard to recommend but 
did have hookups.. Part of the problem is that I arrived at about 930PM 
pretty tired and it looked a little grimmer than it turned out to be. At 
least I had electric, which gave me heat etc....
