I moved my trailer to another part of my yard. Tree cutters are expected first thing in the morning to cut 2 huge oak trees that are in danger of falling on my neighbors house or my garage and trailer storage shed.

Out here in Kalifornia you'd need a permit to hack on an oak. You too?

Yes, I had to get permits from BIG BROTHER for both of them. They are beautiful but in hurricane season they are very damaging when they come down.

Brought it home, started emptying our stuff. I need to go dump the tanks, but I just don't feel like messing with it. I'm definitely going to get setup to dump tanks in my driveway, just a matter of time.

We also decided that we're probably going to sell the trailer and get a MH. Not a definite, but it's looking like that's where we'll end up...

Cleaned the rail under the awnening with acetone prior to installing led strip of lights and today I pulled the only 3 inches of strip that didn't fall off. UGH

Installed a small fan to the underside of kitchen cabinet. Fan was originally a $7 clip-on from Walmart but was able to secure the clip part to the cabinet with 2 screws so it doesn't eat up counter space. Makes a big difference to have air movement when the A/C has cycled off.

Loaded about 90% back into the RV! Unfortunately we depart Top Sail SP tomorrow. Oh well, back to reality...my liver is probably in need of a break!

Made a plexiglass window for the back tent end screen on my Hybrid. The bottom ends sit in a little pocket so I only needed white Velcro along the top and I ordered white felt for the sides. Now I have a bay window in the back and I'll make another one for the front maybe next week. You don't have to remove the window to close it up.

did install the sub frame and re-installed the axles. Looks great a 4-9/16 lift. A surprise was finding the ground connections in a very poor shape. Badly corroded! So got new ground connectors drilled a new hole and cleaned the chassis and used copper grease for the install - should last longer than the original install.

Emptied all the tanks, put some "borrowed stuff" back in, and dropped it off in storage. Will go back and pick it up again in a few weeks!

ETA: Got my hard start capacitor (FINALLY!) in the mail yesterday. Hopefully I'll be able to get that installed next time trailer's at the house.

I found the volume control knob for the cash register sound under the bed and broke it off. It has been going off relentlessly all week "cha-ching, cha-ching" so I am glad to be rid of it. Now when I click on that infamous purchase tab all I hear is the glug glug of the beverage

Towed it 1200 miles the last two days and now it's set up for the next week at Angel Canyon in Kanab, UT. Looking forward to a great week of volunteer with the sanctuary dogs and cats and relaxing under the awning in the evening overlooking the canyon....

We did this to our 185RB SLX!! Made a couch out of our dinette!! I Love the way it turned out!! We used a solid piece of foam from the old bed and the old vinyl from the back which is now the vinyl on the back of my new cushion, recovered the back rest with the same fabric and cut new thicker plywood for the storage boxes and for the center where the table would normally lay.
