Did Escape supply the grey belly band trim, or did you get it yourself?

Yes, you remove the screen and gently release the pressure on the button valve and any captive water.

Actually it is the optional white belly band, it is a gray looking rainy day here, maybe snow this weekend.

Jim, what is the "Fresh Water Presure Release " and where is it located? Does this refer to the city water release that is behind the screen? Thanks

Thank you Myron and Jim. I did do that. Whew, thought i might have missed something.
I removed the screen and pushed the little button, but didn't get it on my pants. Because I wear Tri-focals I was down there trying to see the little button.... BAM... pink stuff right between the eyes! Guess its good.

I had a plasma tv in my basement from an older camper and installed it in Prairie Schooner last week. It is a 19" off brand. Was not too pleased with the weight, close to 12# on the tv mount which is supposed to hold 35#. Long story short I found a new 12v LED tv with dvd player for under $150. Today I replaced the plasma with the LED which weights 4# and I am more comfortable leaving that mounted while traveling. Some pictures, notice my assistants....

I hooked it up and plugged in a HD antenna and put it in the side window, found 8 channels. Picture is really nice, front speakers, full array of functions.

Paul,
I surely hope you are not suggesting that Prairee Schooner is a cat box.

Nice picture, Jim!

Better a cat box than a cat house! Looks like you're real busy Jim. It's sure nice to be warm enough to get to do something outside.

With your little window antenna, that's a pretty darn good picture for a four pounder. (Say...isn't that Ivanka?)

Installed wooden shelf in bath along the built in ridge along the exterior wall. Had some scrap teak from old shower mats and put together quickly. Velcro is holding it on the ridge.

Cattyshack

I like the shelf and the cats. We're going to the Florida Keys and will see how the cats like our new 2017 19'. We named her Cattyshack (apologies to Bill Murray). They'd better like it. Now I know to bring an Amazon box. Wonder if it will hold cat litter...
