Winterized all the plumbing and emptied out the fridges and food cupboards [emoji20]. Sad day....

Just finished making Puff the Magic Wagon smell like Christmas. A quarter bottle of pure peppermint extract infused on cotton balls strategically located all around the TT. Kayaks and other summer sports gear stored away inside. All the other winterizing taken care of; tomorrow morning we'll haul him off to the lot for a long rest before we start up again next April/May.

Digital Thermostat
In preparation for next weekend's outing, I installed a LuxPro Digital Thermostat (2 Wire Heat) from PlumbersStock.com.
Washed the exterior and wiped down the interior.

We drove Harvey the RV to the Mesilla Pecan Festival in Mesilla NM. Mainly to recharge Harvey's batteries (back to 100% thank you!)

Last week, washed it, waxed it. Today I removed the Maxxair vents and cleaned them. Whew, they were dirty inside and out. Getting ready for next week's winterizing trip at a full hookup campground.

Changed out the bathroom faucet, as many have already done. Got rid of the cheapo TT faucet and installed one I can actually get my hands under to wash. Little gooseneck looks good and matches the kitchen faucet too.
Happy RVing,
Jeff

There is a great doc on the Dimplex web site on how to do it which I d/l the last time. It is not complicated or hard, but it does help to know what to expect vs just jumping in and taking out screws. The only tool was a #2 phillips screw driver and a cup of coffee.

It is 50 degrees outside this morning and the repair above was successful and things are warming up in here nicely this morning.
We all like DIY repairs that actually work. Fortunately this was just a cleaning.

Drove past it in the driveway, this morning, wishing we could go one more time. Finally back to work, after the broken arm incident, and am getting slammed with overtime. Not looking good for another trip, so it'll get winterized and covered up on Wednesday. Bummer....

Got back from camping at Lake Ray Roberts. Got the call that my new tires were in while driving home, so we drove straight to Good Year. New shoes on the RV...got home unpacked and blew out all the lines just in case.
Only mishap was that when we arrived at camp site and opened up, the shower door had shattered, with the latch still in the locked position??? So cleaned up the mess and didn't let it ruin the trip! We all had a great time! Even had some neighbors come stay one night with us.

Winterized and put it in storage until we head south in mid-November.
First time winterizing for us and it went like clock-work.

Towed it a few miles down the road to a rest area for final tank dumping and rinsing. Ready to be winterized and covered.

Came in from work to a 99° interior.
Forgot to switch the thermostat when I left this morning.
Cooling off pretty good though.
These desert nights and days are quite different.

Worried.
We had a frost Monday night and I won't be able to check things out until tonight (Wednesday).

I've been following that thread. Hopefully just an isolated issue, Maxxis has a good reputation, but no one is perfect...
As for what I did to my Jayco today, I needed to put some gear back in that I needed to to leave home for cleaning. I also had to pick up a piece of gear I need this weekend. So I did a quick "storage check". All is well, still no leaks. Just added a little water to the toilet to keep the seal wet. Will see her again in a few weeks when we start getting ready for our big trip.

Winterized her this afternoon. Woke up to frost and -3C (26F?) Today so figured I better get the RV'S ready for winter. 10L of the pink stuff and all is good. Refilled the "dri-z-air" as well. The babies will be good till spring.
Really like the fact that they are stored in the yard as I can do some mods over winter. Always powered up and can heat in no time. Let the winter begin.
To those of you still lucky enough to be able to get out in nice weather, Happy Camping
