I have a small leak in the toilet, only when pressing the flush pedal. Clean water leak, pulled it a part and found that the vacuum breaker valve is leaking a small amount of water. Played with the float a bit, was able to remove a very small amount of mineral build-up, put it back in and it seems to be working, but went ahead and ordered a replacement ($20) because I'm sure it will fail again soon.

Uncovered it (looks beautiful), de-winterized removing anti-freeze, flushed lines, installed battery and ran all systems. The first camping trip is the end of the month and my wife (works for the school system) has multiple trips planned after that. I had to reminder I don't work for the school system and don't get the whole summer off .

Sad to say but we sold it. We loved the 377 but needed a toy hauler. Will be picking up our 2021 Grand Design this week.

Reconfigured the rack I built for the back of the 5er. The generator will now sit on the edge instead of center. I also added a steel strap, red bar, to hold the rack vertically instead of the chains. The strap will be stored inside the main mounting brace that I used to mount the receiver. A simple 5/8” rod and safety clip is used to secure the safety strap.

What?!? [emoji3]

We actually looked at those too but decided to keep what we have because our kids are quickly getting to the point that they’re too cool to go camping. So we didn’t want to have a giant toy hauler when we wouldn’t need it.

We actually down sized a little.Went to a 39'. Grand kids are driving and dating now so they rarely go anymore but wanted something to haul my Harley.

I built a shelf in a cabinet in the island, installed a Valtera sewer hose storage tube, and removed the grill in the outdoor kitchen and turned it into a drawer.

Made the winterization and low point drain access useful.

This useless little access hole required contortionist moves to reach the low point drain valves.

Improved access. The door is almost done, but it will have to wait until later this week.

Installed BAL Lock-Arm stabilizers on the landing gear and what a HUGE improvement over the Andersen blocks I had. Basically no rocking whatsoever. I also went to the hardware store and got four 3" long steel pins and welded them to the bolt heads and painted them silver (2nd pic). Much easier to tighten them than having to get out a wrench.

As expected, had to pay the price after a great three-week trip to Yellowstone and beyond. Completely cleaned the inside, then the roof and the awning. Then washed 2,600 miles of bugs off of her and finally gave her a full wax job. Couldn’t have done it all without a little help from Jimi and Ozzy and some extra AC/DC “power.” Next is the truck...

Looks good! I like making things more useful.

It's not really done TO my RV, but FOR my RV (at some point in time)...

I built a foldable cedar table that will ultimately support the portable pellet grill I plan on buying (as well as the pizza oven if I can talk the DW to bring it along also).

Resealed the coach door that dealer replaced under warranty and did nothing to seal door at all, that is surely due to what the service advisor repeated to me a number of times “the mechanic only got paid two hours for this job”, like it was my problem. Big gap at top inside under bolster, all open behind latch plate, no sealant inside or outside around door, no sealed around step inside and could see light out there and many other places. Also door latch was very poorly installed leaving door loose to rattle and squeek going down the road, any road. It just went out of warranty and i was not about to take it back there! So i fixed every little thing including door sealing myself and adjustments. Also reglued a couple cabinet door insert panels that had come loose and were pushing in.
