You learn quickly Frank - some of us still haven't
figured it out and have owned some type of motor home
continuously since 1966 (about dozen non-birds and 3
birds since 1986).

Only if you have a claim in excess of the cost, and
you luck out and the claim is covered!

There are several lurking hereabout that spend

specialists in Cleaning Pressing and Alterations, or
Constant Pains (in the) A.
