    Mattress or Topper

    We bought the 2006 44DA a couple years ago and promptly discarded the main stateroom mattress. Purchased a foam mattress from Walmart and shaped it with a sharp knife to fit the cavity. The end result is less than ideal, i.e. sore backs typically. My question: Is a topper a good solution, or...

    Racor Part Number - Cummins QSC500

    I plan to store spare set of Racor filters on board, so I consulted the Cummins Manual for correct part number.......something I thought would be straight forward.

    windshield vent

    The windshield vent suddenly will not open. When I press the rocker for open, there is no sound; when pressed for closing (which it already is), I can hear it try to close. I am not sure if it is the motor/solenoid, or rocker switch on dash. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
