What Did You Do To Your RV TODAY?

[Bookemdanno]

Cleaned out the basement. DW ordered a fan/mister to take to FL next week.

Looks promising...

Edit: BTW, it’s cheapest at Sam’s club.

Prepping everything to go to Indian Springs tomorrow

Installed remote controlled LED lighting under my Pinnacle 5th wheel.....instead of those string light sets.....so far so good....easy to do...

Yesterday - emptied it out completely and vacuumed/scrubbed the inside good. Also filled the tanks with a softener/Dawn mix and let them soak overnight.

Today - ran it down the road to a rest area to do the final dump of the tanks. Then washed it outside. It's all ready to trade in tomorrow. We've enjoyed it tremendously over the last 4.5 years but it's time for something a little bigger and more capable.

Got one of the propane tanks refilled.

Finished bracing the pantry shelves and a few other areas held together by staples. Stained and glued 1x2s along sides of pantry shelves, with 1x1s across. One collapsed on the road because of the canned goods DW packed .

Getting ready to head north in a few days. Tested all the TT systems and started loading up our gear.

A couple days ago went to open the living room slide and it bound up at the top and wouldn’t go out. Pulled it back in and tried again, only to have it bind again, then there was a bang. Went outside to find we apparently have a problem with the slide topper as it hadn’t extended much, and the bang was the track pulling off the wall of the trailer. Got the track off the topper and reinstalled dit on the trailer so we can at least use it, but needless to say, we have another trip to the dealer in our future - thankfully it’s covered under warranty.

Today I added a new power outlet in the bedroom and ran a dedicated satellite line up to the bedroom. While I was at it I pulled the back wall of the basement out and cleaned out all the debris that the factory left back there. Gave everything a thorough inspection too.

May need to see more of this one (and potentially steal it...)

Nothing fancy at all but should help. I noticed the bottom of the cabinet over the dinette was sagging, so added a 1x2 in that cabinet, screwed it to the end of the microwave cabinet and anchored the shelf to it. Still need to dab some paint on the brass screw heads to hide them. FYI, I found that Minwax red mahogany stain was the closest match to the Jayco wood color.

Our bed support started to fail and was going to fall into the storage. (bed fail) My brother and I put in a short piece of corner molding to give the area more support. (Bed repair 1) This is what the repair looked like inside the storage area. (Bed repair 2)

Tested the effectiveness of the Maxxair vent cover. Left the bath vent wide open during a real frog-floater of a storm, that seemed to last forever. even saw 2X4's floating down the street, from construction a block away.

When it was over, I went in, and not a drop of water inside. Woo Hoo!

[ttavasc]

Traded it in on a '19 ORV Timber Ridge 23DBS. The new Andersen installed easily but I'll need to make a couple adjustments once I get the new camper fully loaded. Both propane tanks are still empty so that will add ~108 more pounds on the tongue which I measured at ~930 with the Sherline when installing the Andersen. They did send me down the road with full water which added another ~665 so I estimated total weight off the lot today was ~7940. With a 9995 GVWR there is still a fair amount of cargo capacity.

Now we've got about a month to get it outfitted and loaded for travel before we head out to New Mexico to catch up with our yougest DD and her boyfriend. Once it's loaded for travel I'll hit the CAT scales to get more accurate weights.

Congratulations! What a great looking setup you have there.
I've also looked at the ORV's and they look like a cut-above the rest.

Happy travels and enjoy the new camper.

Nice looking trailer. Enjoy.

Perfect, thanks so very much

Got it all washed and shiny, removed the black streaks, cleaned out the gutters and checked the roof and seals. Finished the last checks and loading for the maiden voyage this coming Thursday!

Tested the propane detector, though not on purpose. DW bumped one of the knobs on the stove enough to turn the gas on while unloading some stuff after the last trip. Detector works!

Enjoy your first trip. You’ll always remember it!

I have a seam coming apart on my 7 year old awning and I thought I'm just gonna have to replace it. Based on a tip I received from this Forum I went out and bought some clear Gorilla tape to try and mend the seam. I cleaned the area and applied the tape. I'll tell you what, that clear Gorilla tape is sticky! It's like clear Eternabond and flexible as well. We'll see how well it holds up. One thing about it is it won't yellow in the sun cause it has UV inhibitors. I've always had a drip from under the awning when it rains from where the gutters came together under the awning so I put a piece of the tape there as well. Also washed and waxed my fiberglass front cap then applied 303 protectant. Has anyone applied the 303 over wax? Was wondering if you could do that meaning would one negate the other. Too late, I already did it.
