We've entered that awkward stage in the weather patterns around here
where the desert camping areas are starting to get kinda hot, while the
mountains are still pretty cold. So now's a good time to take things
apart. Gives me plenty of time to repair what I break in the process.

Anyone wanna sell/donate to me enough of them snaps so I can re-attach
my slider panel after I open it and tighten the linkage that is making
it so difficult to open the door from the outside? I do NOT want to have
the handle bust off.

Only problem I see with putting shelving/medicine cabinet in the slider
door idea is that it will be banged around a lot. So soft goods within
only, like the original suggestion: magazines. And no sense adding
things that bang! to the mix. Darn slider makes enough noise in the
morning in a quiet campground as it is.

  ssssSSSSSSHHH-FWUMP!
