Emptied out and organized all the crap that I've shoved into the bunk area over the last few months. Removed the top bunk mattress and put it in storage along with the 4 inch foam topper that's been under my main bed mattress (it was just too squishy with the topper-under-mattress method, and I need more firm support).
Also dumped the tanks and topped off my fresh water tank.

Smoked a couple of pork chops while I was at it. Ate one, and IT WAS GOOD!

A new circuit breaker was installed in the PD4045KA panel to separate the outlets from the converter. This was done in preparation for installing a Samlex PST-600 inverter.

Ran my generator for 1 hour with both a/c's humming. It was 90 degrees outside so I definitely got the Onan's motor and generator up to temp. I actually did this yesterday.

Also switched the refrigerator to propane and just switched it back to electric after 24 hours.

Finally got around to putting in two 30 amp RV outlets today. One for me, and one for a guest. Sure was nice to clean the trailer with the AC running!

I just switched from park water to my onboard fresh water tank. For the 5th time since May the same park water line has ruptured. We will be without park water for the better part of today, but since this wasn't my first rodeo, I have 80+ gallons. I'm good.

Rearranged the front storage compartment. Couldn't find one thing to leave behind! Put a couple of clips in to hold a regular corn broom. That fold up telescoping one is going away!!

Brought it home from storage, got it plugged in, made 1st batch of ice, ran awning out.

Tonight it's more ice, perhaps a clean awning. This week (hopefully) a new power tongue jack (warranty replacement w/upgrade).

Popped the inside cover off of the air conditioning unit to check the gasket clamping screws- all well since I tightened them a couple of years ago.

Checked the Model#, and found that in fact, I have a 15K BTU unit, and not a 13.5K unit like I assumed. Good to know.

Cleaned the nearly worthless open cell foam filter. I say worthless because there was a lot of dust buildup on the heat exchanger.

Got out my mini ShopVac and vacuumed all that damned dust off of the heat exchanger.

Since I bought the TT, one of the mounting screws for the air conditioner cover wasn't hitting wood- it just went straight through the ceiling panel. Moved the screw enough to hit a solid backing (I hope it was wood!) and finished screwing the cover back in place.

Need to look for something better to replace the stock air filter. Anybody have any ideas?

("Need to look for something better to replace the stock air filter. Anybody have any ideas? ") I've heard of some getting a pleated furnace filter (not the fiberglass type, but looks like fuzzy paper) and cutting a section out to size, and flattening the pleats. Never tried it, as we're not in a real dusty climate, but sounds reasonable as long as you don't get too restrictive an air flow.

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks

Replaced the 1 micron particulate water filter in my two stage unit. The water here tastes good, but it has a lot of particulate matter in it.

Popped out the slide, turned on the frig and started stocking up for week trip to Colorado (Trinidad Lake and Cheyenne Mountain by Colo.Spngs.). Can't hardly wait until we leave on Sunday.
Happy RVing,
Jeff
