    Frig Hatch discovery - help!

    Opened the Frig hatch for the first time and was surprised to find a loose piece of wood and a melted hatch cover. Pictures below. This is an MPG 184 upper utility hatch which is for the back of the Norcold. Our unit sat dealer lots for a long time so we are slowly discovering there has been...

    Reflective window covers for the MPG 184

    I made some custom reflective covers for our MPG 184. I used old christmas wrapping paper to measure the windows to make templates. I cut them from Reach Barrier Air Double Reflective Polyethylene Insulation bought at Home Depot. After cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I applied sticky...

    dome awning

    Self Contained Awning for the MPG

    I have been looking at the various awning options folks have posted. I see mixed feedback on the dome awning due to cost, ease and availability.
