National Civil Rights Museum

While in Memphis we stopped at the Lorraine Hotel. Sorry, no indoor photos as I missed the tour time. I’ll catch it the next time through.

Lots of construction, updating and expanding.

Picture 4, the smaller, bathroom window on the right is where James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King, JR.

Picture 5 is the path of the bullet to the wreath where MLK was standing.

Need advice on some ceiling repair

Hello all. New RV owner here. I’m updating / renovating a 1999 Winnebago Minnie Winni. There was a leak in the rook that I’ve since repaired but now I’m dealing with replacing a big part of the ceiling. My issue is that I need to the take cabinets off and I’m not sure what to do about one of the wires that’s goes out the side of the cabinets and down behind the fridge. I’m feeling like the easiest solution is going to be cutting the wire and then splicing it back together after. Otherwise it seems like I need to move the fridge. Pictures attached. Thanks for your help!

That’s not how Anderson Levelers work. Seen in a storage facility. 🫡

Portable freezers?

Does anyone have any thoughts on portable freezers? Truth be told I don’t have an RV…but what I do have is a neurological disorder that causes chronic pain and I’m reliant on ice packs. I’d like to be able to travel even a LITTLE bit, but you’d be surprised how limiting this is. Most hotel refrigerator don’t have freezers, and you can’t bring own. Trust me…I’ve asked, lol! But I believe the voltage for these small portable freezers is different than even the smallest model freezer appliances (correct me if I’m wrong!).

Has anyone used them as a freezer (I know they can function as either fridge or freezer), and if so how well do they work. They’re really expensive (I’m desperate!), but is it the type of item that the freezer function only lasts for a few months and them I’m stuck with an expensive camping fridge I don’t need 🤔 Thanks in advance!!

How to care for your Rv membrane roof

Quick guide to maintaining your RV membrane roof (EPDM/TPO) and stretching its life to 15–25+ years:

  1. Inspect twice a year (spring/fall): Climb up, check seams, vents, AC units for cracks, gaps, or chalking. Look after storms too.

  2. Clean gently every 3–4 months: Use RV-specific cleaner (no harsh chemicals), soft brush, and rinse well. Remove leaves/debris first—prevents mold/UV wear.

  3. Reseal annually: Re-caulk around vents, edges, seams with Dicor or similar—keep it fresh.

  4. Protect from sun: Apply UV-rated roof coating or protectant every 1–2 years—blocks fading/cracking.

  5. Smart habits: Park in shade, avoid branches, cover if stored long-term. No power washers—too aggressive.

Do this? Leaks stay rare, roof lasts longer. Easy wins.

How to use ceiling speakers?

We've got a 29ft 2006 Fleetwood Jamboree and there are speakers in the ceiling. The radio in the cab does not come through the ceiling speakers. There are two spots where there used to be a TV, they only have a 12V and a coax hookup, no aux panel or connections. There isn't any audio panel or connectors that I can find anywhere. They've got to go somewhere, right? I downloaded the official manual and there's no mention of these speakers.
