The system (200) includes a vertical seal assembly (210) and a horizontal seal assembly (212). The horizontal seal assembly (212) runs along the top wall or ceiling. The vertical seal assembly (210) and horizontal seal assembly (212) are coupled together through the use of a corner seal assembly (214). The system (200) includes a pair of jacket assemblies (220) coupled together through the use of a flexible hinge assembly (226). Each assembly (220) includes a leg (230) having a main body (232) and a straight edge (234).

Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector has a housing having a first end for receiving a multi-fiber fiber optic cable and a second end having openings for said fibers from said cable. First and second key slots are provided for accepting a removable key for setting the polarity of the fibers within the connector, with the first and second key slots located on opposing sides of the connector. The connector has guide pins or guide pin receiving holes for guiding the connection with a second connector. The removable key is movable between the first and second key slots, the key slot with the removable key corresponding to a first active slot and the key slot without the removable key corresponding to a non-active slot. When the removable key is in the first key slot, it results in the first key slot being active with the fibers being presented within the connector in a first polarity.

Abstract: A corner rail assembly (156) is adapted to be coupled to a corner section (114) of a recreational vehicle (100). The assembly includes a jacket (158) having a main body (160), first leg (162) and second leg (164). A metal insert (180) is formed within an extrusion of said jacket (158). A securing tape (188) in the form of a VHB tape secures the jacket (158) to a front wall (110) of the vehicle (100). A further tape (190) located on an inner side of said first leg (162) affixes the first leg (162) to the side wall (112) of the vehicle (100). A vinyl gimp (192) is releasably coupled to the corner rail assembly (156). A further embodiment of the corner rail assembly (200) includes a mushroom cap insert (216) in place of the vinyl gimp (192).
