[A/S] What covers your windows?



	Just noted Terry's post re blinds.  On my 34 there were wooden bllinds in
the living area and dinnette. The curb side window hade a broken regulator
that the wire  loop Terry mentioned  attached to for regulating the slant
of the blinds...while walking around the flea market I found  wooden blinds
at $5.00 per set, gthey were the exact replacement for the plastic and
metal blinds in the bedroom.... They didnt't match in color as the  LR
blinds were a dark wood tone and the BR are a  pickled off-white....they
look fine.  I was able to salvage a regulator from a set of blinds and
repair the LR curb side blind....all worked out well for an investment of
$15-20.00.

	A question for Terry, are you watching your TV news on  a 12volt TV or on
AC.. Curious as to the Solar  drain.

	Also a note for Blair who helped me figure out my brake problems.  On the
way to the DC Unit Cherry Blossom Rally, I managed  to loose a portion of
my brakes to an unidentified road hazard. I  experienced a pulling to the
left of the trailer with a dipping of its nose, when braking. I could
counter it with some steerage in the opposite direction but not a
comforting experience.  At the Rally we determined that at least two of the
street side electrical brake wires had been pulled loose, upon having it
repaired it turned out that I had also managed to disconnect the rear curb
side brake which had me running on two curbside and one street side brake.
I never did see what I hit but the brakes were fine at the beginning of the
trip.  They are now repaired and all is well in preparation for four days
of Bluegrassing at Merelefest at Wilksboro, NC.
