Thanks for following us on Facebook Forest. Hope you like all our weekly travels. We don't stay in the best of campgrounds as we are Thousand Trails Elite members, also stay in Encores and Passport Americas. We have never had a problem fitting in. Will help you any way we can. The Pacific Northwest is amazing, this is our second year here. Been here a week in Newport, Oregon and its been 70 degrees high all week.

Thanks Chester and Tom.

Michael, no issues with the entertainment center/fireplace moving as I have it secured directly to the wall and floor with L brackets and wood screws. Even the back of the 32" led tv is secured to the wall so none of it moves. On the chairs, I glued silicone to the bottom of the chair legs and the haven't moved at all, even down the twisty 101 in Oregon or the PCH in California. Everything you see in the pics is held down with museum putty or Velcro (pictures), so we do nothing when we leave, just turn the key and go.

We sure were busy before we left 3/13 Tom. The only project I have done since then was the living room fireplace, entertainment console and glass tile wall. Did that in March when we were sitting for a month at the Great Outdoors in Titusville.
