Abstract: A retractable shelter is provided for use with a slideout compartment of a recreational vehicle. The retractable shelter includes a sheet of flexible material capable of being rolled up into a retracted position; and a storage compartment capable of storing the sheet of flexible material rolled up into the retracted position. The storage compartment is attachable along and near a bottom edge of a slideout compartment of a recreational vehicle. Doors can also be attached to the extended sheet of flexible material underneath the slideout compartment. The sheet of flexible material can also be extended in a horizontal direction to support poles.

Abstract: Device (10) is provided for insertion into meter (76) in the course of testing gas system (68). Device (10) advantageously allows a technician to make fewer trips into residence (80) in the course of a gas turn-on procedure. House line (78) is first and disconnected from meter (76) and device (10) is then inserted into meter (76) at (84). After an initial full flow check by passage of gas through aperture 38, valve body (50) is shifted to a closed position wherein gas flow is controlled by smaller apertures (52) so that a second flow rate is achieved simulating the pilot light of one appliance being lit in residence (80). In this fashion, two trips into residence (80), respectively to turn on and turn off one pilot light, are avoided.
