New BB Owner w/ a few questions....

[John]

Thanks for all the tips! Even though I've had several different RVs, I
still feel like there is quite a bit to learn about on the Bluebird.
We haven't come up with a name for it yet. I'm sure that will come
sooner or later. I will eventually have to get some pictures and post
as well.

Mr. Sprenger, I have used some of that coil cleaner before, but I
can't recall the name of it either. I'll have to go pick some up and
give all the condensers a cleaning.

Thanks again,
John
