If you were a true southerner, you would say “all y’all”
That is plural and non-gender

Glad to hear you were able to open the ring with your bare hands.  See you are stronger than you think.  Congratulations.  Like Furpod, I have never heard of that being an issue before.  We have traveled with our 177 for over 27,000 miles on smooth as well as some roads bumpy enough to make your teeth fall out, even if they aren't false ones!  Never had that issue arise.

Around here, the term "guys" is mostly gender neutral. At least when you are addressing a group of mixed sexes saying "Hi guys!" is perfectly acceptable.

So glad I asked about this thing that had bothered my for months.  I had not noticed the break in the rings but was able to open them a bit and I'm pretty sure that will work.  I was imagining scrunched up tin foil underneath or some crazy/messy thing.  Thanks all.

I've become used to the earthquake we have as we travel.

Carefully opening the pantry, clothes cab, frig, name it... Cooktop has been lay a towel over the burners and close the top. Works so far.

It's become a game for us as to what is on the floor vs. what has stayed and what we did. I've added cam locks to most everything to keep them closed. Wifey has done so many cloth separators and has worked pretty well. Do things still fall, open or sick up, heck ya! We're a traveling earthquake! LOL

Now, my BBQ is another issue.. Haven't worked out a good solution to that one yet..

You can pull it apart with your hands
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
