Okay, let's see.

First off, John, I think we have all had some of the screws holding the door hinges or catches "strip" - probably because of using a power driver at the factory (and that I don't blame for using). So, a quickand easy fix is to use SuperGlue Gel adhesive with a couple of wooden toothpicks. Put the toothpicks in the gel and then insert into the original hole in the cabinet, etc. Let stand for a couple of minutes, bread the toothpicks so that they are flush with the cabinet and then insert the screw. Just like new. Also happens on cabinets in the stick house.

As for improvemets:

Cost? About $5,000. Much of the stuff can be transfered to another 5th wheel. All but the picture frames, slide toppers and base plate for the satellite dish.

We expect to have our 2006 for a total of 6 years before looking at a new Montana.
