[QUOTE="Shari, post: 418102, member: 1848"] The hole in the camper...I took Wee and 3 friends camping for a night for Wee's birthday. It rained that night, so I attempted to hook up the cable at the campground to the camper. The cable inlet had never been properly installed on the camper. There was no hole in the wall to pass it thru. I don't think tvs belong in campers, so this is the first time we've ever tried to use it. In the process of figuring this out, tho, I tore an interior rubber gasket on what was supposed to be the inlet for the cable. Not an exterior one. And interior one. For looks, and to keep bugs, etc, out, it would need to be fixed. I also thought, while at it, we'll make this functional if we ever need it again. So I bought a new camper cable box assembly, but the place didn't have the gasket to put behind it to install it. husband stayed home from work one day to "fix the roof". He didn't get out of bed until 10am. Then he watched tv til 1. Then he put the cable box in the camper, sans gasket. Which involved cutting a hole in the side of the camper. Then, around 4pm, he started on the leaking roof, and obviously, didn't get close to being done. The cable box went without a gasket for 2+ weeks, during which we had at least 5 rainstorms. And anyone will tell you, the biggest threat to a camper? Is water damage. Df, I would never allow someone do all that, either. Even when I was entirely down, I tried to do what I could myself, because I had to have help for so many other things. But I asked, heck, sometimes I begged, for him to do laundry. My mom had to drive down here (150 miles each way) to take me to the doctor to get recasted, cause he didn't want to take off work if I wasn't going to talk to the actual surgeon or do anything "cool" (like xrays) while I was there. the list is just huge.
