Default Starting our 5th camping season

Although it will be a late start this year we'll be starting our 5th year with the TM.

Still have some pieces of trim inside falling off. Tacks and wood glue are the fix.
Velcro is starting to separate from the adhesive backing. Pop rivets fix that.

Bathroom wall plastic slide has the screws pulled through. They used counter sunk screws and to much torque. Pulled it apart and added small washers. The plastic slide will need to be replaced at some point. The slide for the wardrobe uses pan head screws with a shoulder, no problems there.

While chasing a leak removed the A/C trim inside and found the 12 volt wiring rubbing in a notch cut in the aluminum. Added split tubing to fix that problem before it became one. I'll add a pic of this problem.

Have not located the leak yet, only shows up with heavy fog or a mist/fog.
Rain to gully washer no leak

TM over all is still the best camper for us
