Still prepping for my brake system replacement. Today I decided on the grease I'll be using - Mobil 1 Synthetic. It's in the Dexter "Approved" list, and it has a reputation for being long lasting. I bought 1 tube for the 4 hubs. It doesn't really take that much grease.
Sorted through my new bearings, and found that 2 of them were destroyed by shipping mishaps. Dang the luck. The cages got bent when the new brake drums slammed into them, in a UPS warehouse somewhere, probably.
I'll have to call eTrailer tomorrow and get them replaced. Their customer service so far has been great, but problems like this can be a little discouraging.

winterized the lines leaving the camp today, cleaned out all the foodstuffs, clothes, freezable stuff and parked it for the winter. Now it's time to be sad and count the days until spring.

Replaced the old, dilapidated (and original) foam seal on the screen door. Then removed the grille on the A/C return to clean the filter, but all that was there was a hole where it used to be. Seems that the filter (also the original) material became brittle over time. broke apart and was sucked up into the air return. I pulled out the loose larger pieces, but some were against the evaporator fins. The shop-vac got the job of removing them.
Now, I have to find a replacement filter somewhere.

Pulled it home from storage, got the fridge and A/C running, topped off the air pressure in the tires, made a whole bucket of ice already! Tonight (hopefully) will be lubricating the stab jacks, and tending to the slide-out seal. That's assuming I can get the lawn mowed; days are getting shorter, makes outside chores more difficult to do after my boy goes to bed. But it also means Fall and Winter are getting closer

Tried the Camco black streak remover and washed it today. Will work on waxing it off and on the rest of the week so it's ready to head south to Utah next week. Have a few days on one of the RV pads at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary overlooking Angel Canyon. Doing a little volunteer work while we are there as well...

Lubed the stab jacks and the power awning, installed a couple braces for the "kid gate" in the bottom bunk, broke out my new clip-on fan and tested it in the bottom bunk (it gets really stuffy down there, fan helps, but not as dramatic as I'd hoped), flipped the WH valves to the normal position from "winterized" position. New water filters were sitting on the porch when I got home, so tonight I gotta pack and get the trailer "wet" (rinse and fill the water lines and tanks) and hook it all up to the truck. I'll see if I can clean the stove too, if not it'll be done "in the field". Got a roll of Reflectix I'll be working on in the field as well; hoping my sticky Vel-Cro does the job I need it to do...

spent yesterday and today communicating with Jayco and Camping World service on our 4212. It is now 4 weeks ++++. Can you believe that we are still waiting on parts? Did I till you that Jayco says " it is a vendor part and we have no control!". OK , I bought a Transfer switch on Amazon.com at half price to be able to go in July? Then we got the replacement 5 weeks later, this is the 3 rd one that has been replaced. Now we have been waiting on Lippert Ground Control 2.0 parts for weeks. Found out yesterday everything is backordered for 9/14 ship date? Called Lippert today and was told they have all the parts in stock for retail sale. Jayco says we have no control over Vendor parts and are at Lippert's Mercy? What was interesting the gal said "we have 25 of those leveling motors in stock because Jayco F/W always need them". Nice!
Our Saga continues.................

To improve the enjoyment of watching our TV I added a Miccus Home RTX Blue Tooth transmitter to the TV and a Bose Blue Tooth speaker. The distance from our TV to our comfy rocking chairs is quite a ways and had to turn the speaker up on the TV to get past the noise of the AC unit. This new arrangement not only keeps us from turning the volume up on the TV to an unholy level but we also now have much better sound quality. We can place the speaker on the built in table that rests between our chairs. Next mod is replacing the wimpy vent fan in the bathroom with a new Create a Breeze fan.

Took my trailer in for hail damage repair. The whole back end and bath skylight has to be replaced. I hope we get it back soon. I want to go camping again before it gets too cold.

Bummer. .. we camped at Spring Mill State Park in Indiana this last weekend. A camper just down from us was damaged from a large tree limb falling on their RV. Fortunately not too much damage. Hope your repairs go quickly.

Installed the same L&M mfg tv mount in the bedroom as is on the outside of the TT and swapped out the fixed bracket that attaches to the tv for a swing arm & tilt option. Now I can move the tv from inside to outside and back again in a matter of seconds and have a full range of viewing options in both locations. Also ordered the Atwood folding stove cover and Weber Q low pressure disconnect kit to keep me busy next weekend as well.

Put it on Craig's List. Gonna see if I get any bites. Wife made a decision she wants to go camping with us ( she's missing out on our fun)but in a bigger unit. Her standards are higher than mine.

I hope this works. I'm not the best with pictures. FYI - it's a 32" tv being used.

Not sure where I came up with L&M either...It should be L&W.

Gave her a much needed bath after 10 fantastic days in VT, NH and ME. Our electrical cord hatch cover is apparently came open and blew away somewhere along I-95 on the way home, so I have a repair to make once I get the parts.

Insulated the storage area under the rear bunk. The baby sleeps back there and it can get cool overnight for her.
3 sheets of 2X8 insulated foam board 1 inch thick and 1 can of low expanding foam for along the edges and any small gaps. I think it will work well. Total cost was about 40 dollars with a bit of left over insulation for when I tackle the front under-bed storage area.
