cleaning tips sought

N-E-1 have any tips on cleaning those rubber (?) gaskets around the outside of the windows? Mine has a lot of dark stains; I tried Clorox wipes & a very mild bleach spray, nothing.

A/C vibration

Have you tried cleaning the fan blades? Also check the area immediately surrounding the fan blades as there may be small bits of crap the fan blades hit as they spin . . .

funace/bee problems

Take the camper in for service just to be safe; after all you are playing w/propane here. Once done, add one of the inexpensive bee guard meshes to the furnace outlet so the issue does not recur.
