Performed my first of every month routine: Ran generator for 1 hour under load, switched Norcold to propane for 24 hours, switched water heater to propane and ran several loads of laundry through the Splendide including one "lint removal" cycle to keep the Splendide happy.

Not happy bout that but at least the next trip we take I'll now everything is as it should be.
And for the recall. They have to inspect it first before they order the part meaning if my trailer needs the part then they'll order it. So I may be having to pick it up then take it back when the part comes in since we are goin to the Atlanta NASCAR race in a few weeks. GRRRR

I take mine in for inspection also. But we sit down and make a list of what we want checked. Brake linings and wheel bearings are a must plus battery condition/levels and roof sealant around all the ac's, vents, etc. Slide out lubed, landing gear lubed, and windows checked for good seal. Rubber seals checked and wiped with lubricant, etc. You can make a list of what you want done. My dealer is very reasonable and although my Jayco warranty is out of date, I have good peace of mind. I am sure you younger guys can do all this yourself, but for those of us that need to stay off the roof etc, this is a good way for me to get this done.

They just wanted to sell me packages or charge a exuberant hourly rate for extras. I didn't have the option to pick and choose things without that hourly rate. The won't even refill my propane tanks without charging me for removal an reinstall of the tanks. It's. It's a racket but I'll work through it.

Today my husband removed the mini-blind on the kitchen window that was broken and replaced with a MCD day/night shade. My husband had to build a new cornice and I ordered matching vinyl from Jayco and had it upholstered. The cornice has to be 4" deep and long to fit the shade. The original kitchen cornice was only 2" deep. This idea turned into more of a project than we anticipated. All the other cornices are the right size for the MCD. When we got the camper, I replaced the pleated shades in the bedrom to block the early morning light. We left all the pleated in the living room area as they are fine for now. I would love to get rid of all the pleated shades as the MCD really block heat in the summer.

I had to take my beer out of it in December. It kept freezing.

In all seriousness, I try and run the furnace every couple of weeks just to keep things working without issue for when I really need it.

I'm thinking of picking up a 100# propane tank at some point when I have a chance to keep here at the house. That would drastically cut down on fill ups during the winter. It would also allow me to have an emergency backup for when we lose power during the winter. It happens at least once a season and we are out for a few days. It will be much more comfortable in the trailer running the furnace than it is in the house running space heaters off of a generator, even if you have to go inside to use the facilities.

Waxed the trailer, fixed the ladder which was coming loose from the roof, filled the tires, did touch up paint.

Las week I added the Progressive Industries HW50C Hardwired EMS Surge & Electrical Protection- 50 Amps (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the Scanguage D (https://www.scangauge.com/products/scangauge-d/).

FYI 2018 Seneca Owners on the S2RV Chassis. If the Scanguage does not plug in under the dash you will need to call the factory and get a replacement cord. The 9-pin configuration looks the same as the M2 chassis, but it is slightly different. They sent me the cord for free and I received it in 2 days. Make sure you buy it from one of the recommended retailers on the Scanguage website so you have the most current device and it will not need a programming update.

Picked it up from the inspection. They found a piece of tape coming loose on slide out and Jayco approved the fix under warranty. Other than that amd the battery nothing else found. I seemed to have also lost something else standing at the counte afterr payin the bill but we won't get into that.
Then after payin for the camper our renewal for the Darlington race was in the mail box when I got home. Love em both to death the camper and the races but what's next? Can we not spread these expenses out just a WEEEEE bit?

Tried to sanitize after de winterize and then re winterize.
Water pump froze. Its the only time we got above freezing for what we thought would be six hours.
Now a foot of snow Wed and we leave Thursday
Maybe

Everything is a sheet of ice or buried.. a couple of feet of snow.

Now have to find out how that pump is misbehaving. Have portable furnace on it.

I turned my automatic switching LP regulator around so that I can see the indicator without crawling back behind the propane tanks. Why do they mount it that way anyway?

I have 2 Trojan T105's and since they are a bit taller than the original 12v battery they are a bit hard to add distilled water to due to minimal clearance between the top of the battery and the battery box. I always have to use a small articulated mirror, flashlight, and bulb filler. No more.

It was a bit pricey, but I now use a Trojan HydroLink watering system. Replace all six battery cell caps with two HydroLink manifolds and flexible tubing, hook up the manual bulb type water pump tubing to the fitting installed on the two batteries, put the other end of the pump hose in a gallon of distilled water jug, pump the bulb until firm and I'm done. I should have done this years ago. The manifolds and tubing stay on the batteries so the next time will be even easier.
