RE: Painting Eternabond Tape?
Thanks for the responses.
I used the white 2" today... wow, things can go really wrong if you're not careful, that is really sticky stuff. I didn't have to worry about falling off the roof, I'd have still been stuck up there.
It went very well, and I am comfortable about how it sealed the cap/roof joint. I ran it over the sides to each roof/wall joint. I have an ~8" gap at the center of the joint that I will apply another layer of tape, and then paint the tape exposed at each side.

Painting Eternabond Tape?
I have a caulked joint between the top of the front cab and the fiberglass MH roof that has cracked and needs to be replaced. I want to use 2" wide Eternabond tape to replace (cover) the cleaned-up caulking. The question about painting is because I would like to lap the white tape over the side on the MH a bit, but it will then be seen from the ground over the dark maroon painted fiberglass side wall.
I also could cover the Eternabond with 2" wide black "gaffers" tape that would not be obvious from the ground. All the other joints and roof penetrations have a heavy Dicor like coating that is in very good condition.
Any thoughts?

RE: securing an external RV cable
Here are some cable raceways. I used double sided foam tape to contain a cell phone booster cable in a raceway on my roof.

RE: Two things we notice
Someone asked Conrad Hilton what is the best wisdom that he could impart about hotel ownership. His response was "The shower curtain goes inside the tub".
There has to be a great phrase about RV park ownership... probably something dealing the guest's IQ?

RE: Crack. THUMP! Woosh~
They might have used something like this "Dicor Self-Leveling Lap Sealant" if it stayed flexible. They probably used it on your roof?

RE: Crack. THUMP! Woosh~
Probably spray foam to fill the gap(s), but not very good adhesive apparently?

RE: Grants Pass, OR to Crescent City, CA Via 199
We just did that route, and the dangers are over-rated. There are a few tight turns with well scalloped guard rails... and that is where you will probably meet an on-coming logging truck, as we did. The route is beautiful, and well worth the nervousness. We are 12'-9" high, and had no issues with height, the 8'-6" width was probably more of an issue.
Enjoy the trip.

RE: Portland to San Francisco on the 101
We have traveled 101 from WA to south of SF a couple of times. A great drive with a lot of great sights. We even left 101 and took Hwy 1 ONE time. I would not do that again going South, maybe North. Lots of great places to stay, both public and private along the way. Be aware that the OR State Parks are full in the summer season most of the time. As to height problems, our motorhome is 13', other then a couple of tunnels (hug the center stripe) nothing to worry about.
I disagree, I would much rather travel from N to S. The pull-outs are more plentiful on the ocean side and are much easier to use without crossing traffic.
It is a great trip that we just did a couple of months ago. As "sp8gold" suggests, you should make reservations especially on weekends.
This was a very special spot for us.

And just what do you disagree with?? WA to SF IS N to S!!
sp8golf said that he has done the trip several times and says that he would "not do that again going SOUTH', that is what I would question. I applaud his choice to do both Hwy-1 and 101, Hwy-1 can create a tight spinchter in places, but it is worth it for the views. Perhaps he is referring to Hwy-1 rather that 101? Even so I would do Hwy-1.
The ocean side lane creates a more challenging perception, but mostly for the passenger than for the driver, but the inside (up-land) lane is more often an issue.

RE: House batteries
You might want to look at your charging system. A "smart" charger might eliminate your need for water.
I am frustrated with the Group 24 batteries provided with my MH, they were new in 2008 and are still performing well, and do not need added water... ever? I am waiting for them to fail so that I can replace them with Group 31 AGM batteries... but they won't die? I guess that I shouldn't be complaining, but I would like more capacity.

RE: Favorite way to use blueberries?
Nice photo. Is that Mt Shuksan in the background. I love them at that time in the fall when they are fully ripe and a bit fermented.

RE: Sun Lake east WA.
We just drove through there on our way to Steamboat Rock SP on Banks Lake,,, which was wonderful.
We needed to pick up a few things at a grocery store before we arrived, and made the mistake of stopping at Soap Lake... we thought that we were in the bar scene for Star Wars, and we left (ran) without buying anything, we then stopped at Coulee City and had a great experience at their grocery store.
We have camped at Sun Lakes SP for more than 30 years, and have really enjoyed our stays there, but we enjoy Banks Lake SP more now. We are not familiar with that specific site.

RE: has anyone installed the Camco water heater coversion kit
We installed it in our former Class C and loved it. My only difficulty was finding an available 120v AC circuit. I hooked it up to the microwave circuit, and put a sign in the MW to turn off the tank heater when using the MW. There are also automatic switches to do that, but they were $$$, and the sign worked for us.
I just recommended that same one for my son to install in his TC.

RE: Favorite way to use blueberries?
In Thailand a couple of months ago we had durian over sticky rice with with coconut milk and also durian ice cream. It was great, although there were signs in our hotel lobby not to bring it into your room. They say that "It smells like h***, but tastes like heaven".
