We found out our kitchen faucet is a Moen Chateau single handled
kitchen faucet.  We're finding we don't have the 'optional' equipment.
 So there's no filter on ours.

Okay, we have a torque wrench and Dave has used it to check the lug
nuts.  But when he checked the torque on the bolts on the hitch, the
dealer hadn't torqued them correctly.  But... what else is new? ;-)

Good news.... we have the metal valve stems.

Wow!  That sounds great.  You're making Dave happy!  He's always
checking the tire pressure.

Thanks for the explanation of the valves under the bed.  More-or-less
what we had thought.  Does anyone drink water from their tank?  Do you
trust the water from the campgrounds?  Since we don't expect to travel
for any real length of time, we were thinking of bringing our own
drinking water.

Thanks, David, but maybe some of it is his true love is a sailboat. 
But life changes.... and 3 Border Collies just don't work well with a
sailboat ;-)
