As for re-installing the window frame and getting the vent window seal to fit, I just use a small flat screw driver to lift the seal to get around the door. One challenge is where the seal meets the divider bar between the window and vent window. Gotta pry that some to get it to fit.
Many thanks for the extra bit of info on the leak and the window fitting. You're living life the way everyone should!! Thank you!!

Thanks for posting the pics Craig. The one of the Oregon Trail isn't too good but that is the way it looks. No idea how long that has been there.

Actually, at the beginning, when the engine wasn't getting fuel and eventually would die on the side of the road climbing a mountain, the engine got hot enough just sitting there while I was messing with it to spurt out some water, eventually over a gallon lost that had to be replaced.

I'm not sure what "enamel" means. If it means the name of the song, it's "Night Song" by John Schmidt

Thanks Old Henry. "Enamel" does mean "the name"! (Sometimes used by people having out of date glass prescriptions and using IPads!)
