What Did You Do To Your RV TODAY?

[Wildhorses24]

Topped off LP, water, fuel, cleaned and loaded our gear from the old Toyhauler.... off to the beach tomorrow for a week, our maiden voyage in the Redhawk. Installed Sumo springs and have hydraulic levelers on order... tomorrow I'll also be calling 5 star so we can get the rig sorted before our first desert trip in December.

Went to the storage lot and pulled the battery to keep it at home for winter. It's a rarity that we could do that this late in the year. El Niño is being kind to us as last time this was possible I believe was 18 years ago. We're usually piled high with snow and probably about -15 to -20 C by now.

I can't even imagine thinking about planning a camping trip right now. We're trying to plan ski trips! LOL

Had all three holding tank slide valves replaced. One of the gray tank valves was leaking so it had to be replaced and as long as the valves were all three exposed it didn't make sense not to replace the other two. I'm good for another 5 years or so. I full time so they get used a lot.

I'm just glad it was a gray tank valve that started leaking. When something unexpected comes out when the dump cap is removed I'm sure glad it isn't from the black tank.

Winterized, installed a towel holder in bathroom

Installed a slide out rack under the stove on our new 338rets. Works great and DW can access her pots and pans without getting on her knees. Happy Wife, Happy Life. (For now)

Put loctite on 2 screws that kept backing out on the awning roller.

Took delivery of our new (to us) 2012 Jayco Eagle 31.5RLTS. First time 5ers! Took it first to a huge parking lot and practiced maneuvering, parking and backing up.

Once home, celebrated with dinner then worked on tweaks to LED upgrades, including all outside fixtures. Then installed Qry:3 "under cabinet:lights above the sink and stove top areas which are otherwise very dark due to shadows.

Transferred a bunch of goodies from our Fleetwood Niagara pop-up into our new rig. Finished at 2:00am, incurring hiding and properly double fastening new fixtures with provided screw in brackets, velcro and neatly tye-wrapped and hid all wires.

Many more projects to come!

Nuttin'. Just waiting for CW to call saying warranty work is done.
Happy RVing,

When up to the storage lot to check on it. Winterized it 1 1/2 mos. ago. Did a quick peek as the trailer was colder than my freezer. Back home in front of fireplace dreaming of places to go next spring.

Unpacked, cleaned up (a little), and winterized.

Gave my Trojan batteries a full charge with my Xantrex stand-alone charger. Took 4 hours of generator run time. Then I switched the charger to "Condition" mode and ran the generator another 7 hours to stir up the electrolyte.

[JSumeracki]

Applied four packages of 2' long (4 each, or 16 total) reflective stripes all over the exterior in strategic locations. Especially desired night visibility on the back of our camper as we expect to pull slowly int our driveway off our 45mph road with limited visibility at night. I.e., I want to be seen and not rear ended...

Included bumper, vertical stripes on back, sides and front of the rig. Photo attached.

Also tested TV and radio, all speakers and listened to the Panthers destroy the Cowboys on the outside speakers while cleaning the camper. Continued moving camping supplies from our Fleetwood Niagara pop-up to the Jayco.

To round out my Thanksgiving Day, made two round-trip flights to pickup and dropoff my daughter who otherwise due to distance would not have been able to attend Thanksgiving dinner. High pressure system over the Southeast allowed for crystal clear skies, nice flying!

Even with all that, had time to demo the camper to a few people that had not seen it yet AND enjoy a very nice Thanksgiving dinner.

2-night camping trip planned for this weekend, first in our 5th wheel. Almost all of the remaining camping and cooking gear moved out of our pop-up to the new rig today.

Also tested the air mattress (worked great, held solid all night) and bought two more twin size air mattresses for the extra visitors we expect to host this weekend. Cleaned all the wood, cabinets, and glass, and took apart the electric vent fan in the bathroom and cleaned (looks factory new now).

Bleached and sanitized then turned refrigerator and freezer on AC mode (gas turned off while parked house. We added 50A service to our garage to accommodate for year round use and have an electric oil heater in the unit that keeps it toasty warm inside).

Let canopy freshen and dry out all day (wet from last usage.). Also loctited the same screws mentioned earlier on the roller. Lubricated all moving parts on the awning and the TV antenna, cleaned all visible plastics, cleaned and waxed forward the end-cap. Filled the gap between the electric levelers and the body frame with expanding foam to eliminate water infiltration. (Original foam had deteriorated)

Tested the new Shark vacuum purchased for the camper- works great! Rechargeable and just the right size for road trips. Should do nicely at the beach. Will winterize after this weekend.

Loaded it and hooked up, ready to head South in the morning.

[SmokerBill]

Watching the Seahawks/Steelers game, drinking a bit of wine, and picking on my guitar. A nice Sunday.

[cschiller]

Just a quick wash and dry. Just got Back from 1700 mile trip. Next is a wax job and roof protectant

[norty1]

I replaced one of the bathroom faucet connectors with a crimp on band. It was not leaking but was loose and felt damp every now and then.

Feel better now.

[Grumpy]

Towed it from Sweetwater TN to Perry GA.

[SmokerBill]

Removed my pair of Trojan T-105 batteries and washed them off with soapy water. Wire brushed the terminals. When I reinstalled them, I reversed the battery's positions. Cleaned the connecting cable terminals before reattaching them to the batteries. Once connected, treated the terminals with battery terminal protector spray.

After a full charge, I'm now getting an extra couple tenths of a volt storage. A worthwhile project. Tomorrow, generator maintenance is scheduled.

Made a reservation yesterday, cancelled it today. Just too much going on this weekend. It's getting closer and closer to our busy season at work, and camping keeps getting pushed back and moved around. Before you know it, I'll be winterizing the trailer for the late winter and early spring, and won't see it again until April. It's so depressing; this is typically our heavy camping season from October through January. This year we've been out once...
