Handling home office equipment - hanging files
We are spending several months at a time in our RV. I have tried numerous ways of keeping personal files. My hanging files jump off the rails while traveling and fall down into any file drawer, file box or file container I have tried. Anyone have a hack for keeping the files ON THE RAILS? I have seen hacks with clips to keep them from sliding, but I want them to STAY ON THE RAILS. Any ideas???3.7KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Need to find alternative for OTR microwave
Thank you, friends, for all your comments. We are DEVOURING every suggestion. Please keep them coming. Yes...the microwave is SMALL for an OTR and in our search we have come to realize that the newer campers that DO have OTR microwaves are using the larger standard size of 29-30". Since the RV ranges are NOT that wide, the cabinetry is built with a wider space and the microwave is actually wider than the stove. We still have a couple of salvage places on the west coast we are trying to contact (a dream-come-true would be to find an OTR microwave that would fit) but in the event that we do not find one, we WILL have to do the hood and the build-in. MUST have a fan as the stove is somewhat in a corner and the fan in the hood DOES help circulate heat that builds up when we are using the stove top. Currently we have no external vent. The microwave was NON-VENTED. (Circulated the air back into the room) Now I am having trouble finding a VENT HOOD that is non-vented AND 12v. Oh...and yes, we checked the fuse. We actually accidentally plugged into 220 and the microwave REALLY fried. Afraid we burnt up more than just the circuit board in it! Again I say, If it's not one thing, it's another.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsNeed to find alternative for OTR microwave
Through our own error, we fried several appliances on our last trip with our fiver. Have been able to repair every single thing EXCEPT the microwave. This was an OVER-THE-RANGE Magic Chef Model MC02212ARB manufactured in Jan 2006 and was only 22 3/8 inches wide. We have EXHAUSTED our search for a replacement OTR microwave. Our 2006 Cardinal 5th Wheel with rear kitchen has only 25 3/4 " space over the range with NO wiggle room. We cannot even find a replacement at RV salvage shops across the country! So we are now going to have to install a vent hood over the range and modify the cabinet above to accommodate a build-in microwave. (Essentially a counter-top microwave with a trim kit). Now we are having a problem finding a range hood that is 12v AND non-vented. We have NO external vent over the range. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you If it's not one thing, it's another.4.7KViews0likes15CommentsRe: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI
Just realized that I did not specify we are RETURNING to Mackinaw for the bridge walk so our trip to Canada will be in August. Hoping to stretch the trip to 4-5 weeks but our travel companions have an early August obligation! Thanks for the comments thus far!568Views0likes0CommentsNova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI
We are hoping to travel to PEI this summer. Only have 3 weeks to round trip from Mackinaw City, MI, as we have reservations there for the Bridge Walk on Labor Day. We have hit highlights in Halifax area and St. John's New Brunswick during a cruise 2 years ago so want to take our rig to PEI for sure. Any advice on campgrounds and entertainment? We live in Louisiana but spend summers with family in Traverse City, MI. Occasionaly we pull our fiver and travel. This may not be the best year with the high gas/diesel prices, but I don't see it getting better in the future and we aren't getting any younger!5.1KViews0likes15Comments
