Are the canvas zipper sliders typically a common size? And anyone know what size that might be? I had a zipper slider break on me recently for one of the canvas zipper sections on the interior that covers the lift cable pillar, but there isn't really any identifying numbers or marks on the broken slide that would help determine what size to get as a replacement. Its for a 2010 Coachmen Clipper Classic 1285SST. I haven't had much luck finding anything definitive in my online searching.

This is a follow-up question I had regarding my IBS supplemental and whether to include any details about Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

I have a general medical DBQ C&P and a gastrointestinal DBQ C&P tomorrow.

Previously I had submitted a supplemental for IBS, as my first claim submission I didn't have a formal diagnosis or all of the testing to support it. Between my original denial for IBS, I completed the full battery of blood, stool, and colonoscopy testing. Upon conclusion, my gastrointestinal doc rolled with an IBS diagnosis and I submitted my supplemental with all of the medical documentation.

However, after my that follow-up visit where she went with IBS, she ordered a fecal elastase test to measure my pancreatic enzymes. Turns out I have super low pancreatic enzymes. This resulted in a whole new round of blood and stool testing, as well as a CT scans of my pancreas. This has resulted in my gastrointestinal doc prescribing me Creon (pancreatic enzyme supplement), and based on the CT scan results a referral for an abdominal MRI. None of this was part of my supplemental submission as all of this EPI testing has been done after I had already submitted my IBS documentation.

I had no idea it would cascade like this, though my gastrointestinal doc still has IBS and EPI ICD diagnosis codes in my referral and reason codes for all this testing.

My question is since my EPI testing is still incomplete, do I address all of the EPI testing that isn't part of my supplemental submission? Would it be rolled up into the IBS, or do I put at risk the IBS. I'm not trying to be fraudulent, but I really don't know how to approach this at this point, where previous advice was to just roll with the IBS, where at the time I hand't yet had any indication of an EPI diagnosis.

EDIT: I will mention that in my supplemental personal statement I did state that at the time of submission no other underlying gastrointestinal disorders were found. Which at the time was true, but since then the EPI has been the ongoing testing burden I've been under. Bottom line is I don't want to come across as fraudulent with that seeming contradictory statement if I make mention of an EPI diagnosis for which I have been prescribed Creon for.

I just bought a 2016 Coachmen and it didn't come with a battery. I will be on shore power for our camping trips until I can do proper upgrades to necessary components for solar and lithium. I don't plan on running the fridge in transit, and the trailer has 7-pin connector for towing.

My understanding is that even on shore power the battery acts as a buffer of sorts for the DC power side against any voltage fluctuations from the shower power and AC to DC conversion in the power distribution panel.

Am fine with a regular old 12v 100Ah deep cycle?

Hi all, I just bought a new to us pop-up camper; we are new to pop-up campers transitioning from tent camping. I've been doing tons of research getting up to speed on all things pop-up camper. I would like to transition to lithium battery and eventually add solar capability. That said, I've been starting to look into upgrading the power center/distribution panel and looking for suggestions. Based on what I've read from reviews WFCO seem to be garbage. What other options do you all find reliable that is capable of autodetecting between lithium and non-lithium batteries?

A couple months ago I submitted a supplemental claim for IBS; short story is I didn't have the necessary testing done in my original submission. My supplemental was submitting all the new testing supporting IBS.

I just got an LSGS email to sign up in their portal, however after I log in I see two DBQ exams pending. One for general medical - gulf war and the second for GI intestinal conditions.

What would the general medical - gulf war DBQ be? I've already done the VA Gulf War Exam so that should already be in my VA records.

Not saying there is any error or anything is wrong, Just curious if anyone else has experience that and how it ties into an IBS claim so I can make sure I go in as prepared as possible.

New to pop ups as we transition from tent-only camping. I'm likely buying a 2010 Coachmen Clipper pop up tonight. At least in the pictures everything about this camper looks solid and well taken care of. I'll preface that I have done a lot of extensive research on pop up campers in general so I'm at least familiar with their operation, water proofing, maintenance etc.

What are some specific things to look at in your experience before deciding to pull the trigger on one? I'm not expecting the Taj Mahal from a 16 year old camper and beyond obvious defects or obvious water damage, what are some other key things to look for?

I have an F150 so towing isn't a problem. Once I get it home anything that I should immediately do once its mine? I already plan on checking/cleaning/recharging AC as necessary, greasing the bearings, checking the brake pads, but what other non-obvious mechanical stuff? We have a week long camping trip coming up in a couple weeks so any to-do stuff I want to get knocked out before hand.

The whole server shutdown after every single match is starting to get really old. WTF!

I submitted a supplemental request a couple weeks ago with new medical evidence/records after an initial claim denial back in October for IBS which stated I did not have a formal diagnosis. I submitted copies of all of the gastro medical and blood test results and colonoscopy records from my primary care provider that I have done and gone through the past few months after my original claim denial to get a formal diagnosis. I just got a letter for records request for my PCP.

Since I already submitted all of the relevant records, test results, etc. that are only specific to IBS diagnosis, will it hurt my supplemental claim if I don't return the records request authorization? Or is it just better to submit it even though I already sent them everything? They already have my prior medical records they got from the original claim that at least show a longitudinal history of IBS complaint , so there really isn't else pertinent to IBS that I didn't already submit.
