Washed the roof and inspected all the sealant for any potential issues. Also scrubbed the awning good after being rolled up all winter.

Anything special you use to scrub the awning? That’s on my list, too.

I've just been using some Dawn dish soap and a brush with small bristle points which helps scrub the dirt out of the slight texture the fabric has. I know there are cleaners specifically for the awning if you want to go that route but I've not used them before.

That’s what I was thinking — just Dawn or similar. Thanks!

I usually wax our unit while camping to give me something to do, so I got the front cap, curb side and rear wall done today. Street side will have to wait till another day as the "lay of the land" is not level enough for this old fart. LOL

Looks great. I’d say that’s more than a little shine! [emoji3]
What did you use?

RodPod,

A couple questions.

What was the gauge if the wire you used from the existing fan wiring for the new AC?

Is that new 20amp circuit for the AC totally separate or did you add a breaker to the existing box?

Lastly, you wrote you added hard start kits to both the new and existing AC. What is a hard start kit?

Thanks

PapiG

Cold day with a few snow flakes drifting around [emoji33] Decided to build a storage box in the pass through to hold the WDH bars and tool. A 1x4, a couple of 1x3s and some leftover 1/4" maple plywood and done!

Serviced the SHURflo waterpump. Outer sleeve bearing got some oil (was dry and would fail). Pump-head side has a ball bearing. Pump-head was in good condition.

Weak link on those pumps is the sleeve bearing!

Upgraded my terrible mach thermostat to the digital version. Will be camping soon to see if it's an improvement over the slider control.

Replaced:

Progressive Dynamics converter model 9280 that failed. I noticed my batteries were low and they were new. This happened while plugged in to shore power. Checked converter output voltage and it was approx 10.0v where it should have been 13.6'ish. Age in service at failure - 8 1/2 years full time. New unit in and working nicely. I swear I heard the batteries sigh when I turned it on.

Replaced thetford Style II potty. The entire flush mechanism fell apart. Fortunately I had a new replacement in my garage that I got a good deal on a few years ago. I know I usually have too many spare parts, but this time it worked.

First cleaning

I started getting ready the maiden voyage. Started with a more thorough cleaning and inspection. Remove about a dozen spare screws that were left laying around the coach. Tightened up the couch hardware holding the hinges to the back area. Added a beef up brace under the sink to keep anything from breaking the thin paneling. Restapled a piece of trim by the rear door. Put cabinet liner in the kitchen and bathroom areas. Resecured a protective panel in the pass-thru area that had only one screw holding it in.

All in all not a lot compared to what I have found in previous trailers.
