________________________________

GENERAL CLEANING

**'Goo Gone' Removes Sticky Residue left on hard surfaces from tape or putty.
**Cooking Oil Or WD-40 also works. (WD-40 may dissolve adhesives). Rub in – let it set a bit before wiping off. Repeat if necessary. Not for carpets or fabrics.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

**Attaching ‘Stick-On’ Velcro Keeps Items In Place but it is extremely difficult to remove from many surfaces. Our first motorhome was two-years old when we bought it and there was Black Vlecro Everywhere. When we sold it eight-years later, the Velcro was still there. On Kastle #3 we removed a picture from the manufacturer and the finish of the wallboard came off when we removed the Velcro. For a touch of décor I Covered the Damage Areas with a Field o 'Press-on Craft-Style Butterflies, but I should not have had to do that.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

***To add lustre to dull bathroom fixtures – clean normally, follow with A Light ‘Spray’ Of Fibreglass Wax Designed To Polish RV’s. The shower, toilet and sink simply sparkle. Thanks to Mary Moppin’s .

Follow-Up NOTES to this tip:
#1 A Light ‘Scrub’ Using A Wet SOS Pad will remove surface etchings that occur over time on brass fixtures and sink drains.
#2 After each weekly cleaning, we add a Final Spray Of Coach Wax To ALL Brass Fixtures to keep it brilliant.

PROMO THIS WEEK

NORCOLD FRIDGE RECALL

In the past I have warned about Recalls on Dometic Fridges but when we checked into our park at Edinburg they had a flyer offering $50.00 if you have a qualifying NORCOLD fridge that needs recall attention – payment will be when it is repaired. Most are from the years of 1997-2000 But I In Doubt Call 800 767 9101 with your fridge model and serial number to be sure your unit is safe (Remove the outside ‘intake vent cover’ to find the serial #). Many 2-door and 4 door models are affected. Better to be safe than sorry.

PETITION SUPPORT FOR RETIRED CANADIAN MILITARY AND RCMP

As November 11th rolls around, memories of what our veterans did for our country is on the forefront of your mind. If you are a retiree and/or you know any Military/RCMP members who are affected by Canada’ unfair Gov’t Pension Claw back, we need your support. All Canadians who support this cause can sign this petition. Please add your name to the petition. Details

INTERNET SATELLITE DISH

Being on line 24/7 no matter where we are makes life so comfortable AND, my system is totally secure. To read my complete story of my fabulous Dish go to – or contact Tech Mobile Communications And Wireless (TMCW): (Formerly 3i Communications) 1-705-878-1025 / 1-866-494-4801. Tell them Peggi sent you.

Just a note – John and I frequently work together to set the DISH up but several times lately due to circumstances beyond our control I have set the Dish up completely by myself – 99.9% of the time it is no big deal; a 5 to 10 minute task. If I run into problems I simply call Tech Mobile for help. Are you on line as you move around? You should be!
