lock on our trailer is missing!!!

not sure what happened- doesn’t look like some one tried to get in but the lock for our Fleetwood Sun Valley is gone. This is the one use to close up stairs and the secure so travelling with this gone is impossible- you can’t close it.
I called our dealer and replacement for it is 40.00 which is not bad. the 150.00 labour charge tho!
you apparently need a rivet gun to get this done and then takes about 90 minutes to do Argh.

A Portable Sink- that fold up! Perfect for Camping and Portage


Coleman Exponent Pocket Bowl

This is pretty neat- I wrote earlier about the luxury portable kitchen- here is something a but less upscale- a Coleman Folding Sink
! This would be great for soing dishes and back packing. It is one item that is very bulky and hard to bring with you when space is at a premium- like portaging.

Washing Dishes While Camping: Portable Sinks

I the OLD days we used a plastic tub and heated water up over the campfire to wash dishes. Now you can take a WHOLE kitchen with you.

Check oit this Coleman Exponent Outfitter Camp Kitchen from Coleman.

Features a sink with drain, sliding shelf for stove. paper towel holder (!) and a backgammon.chess board .
I am not sure how I feel about this. With the trailer I have been feeling less and less like we are even camping. I do LOVE not getting wet but I have become very dependent on things like electricity and water to the point of what I think is ridiculous- I canot go camping without my electricSunbeam King Arlington Electric Heated Warming Mattress Pad, White
cover.
