New locks for the RV

Location, Home, CA

While in Quartzsite, AZ this winter I ordered new compartment locks for the RV from Industrial Lock and Hardware of Lancaster, CA, www.ch751.com. The new locks are the circular type with special keying to make them harder to pick. The old locks were the simple key kind which almost anyone could open. I installed them yesterday and now just need to make a few adjustments to the cams to make the doors tighter when closed.

I helped our good friend Bev set up a blog using Google’s Blogger yesterday. It really is very simple to get the basics but I did have trouble trying to put a reader counter in the blog. I had set mine up more than a year ago and forgot some of the basics while helping Bev.

We are off to Tehachapi, CA later today to help our friend Budd with a problem in his RV. The sink drain which is a flex tube because it is in a slide out has developed a crack and needs replacement. The problem is getting to it. We are taking the refer out of its cabinet and cutting a hole in the cabinet to gain access to the drain. More on this later.
