Thanks Stan. You have done a 1,000% better job at helping me than Palomino. One day we'll take a FWC somewhere exotic.

Hey all, After living out of our Palomino Bronco pop-up for 15 months some mildew and mold is starting to stain the inside of our camper. We very seldom put her way wet so this seems to just have formed from poor ventilation while sleeping. We only have issues around the sleeping platform...

Nostalgia Loved the Salar update. Cannot wait to get out there. It's raining here in La Paz, so I'm browsing your USA posts via the blog over coffee. Leading me to be nostalgic for the states. You chose a great route! I'd like to do the exact same when we get back.
