I have a remote temp sensor outside under my curb side slide and it was showing 96 degrees outside a little while ago. I was nice and cool inside so I decided to see what the air temp was coming out of my a/c's. I used a Klein Infrared Thermometer and my rear 15K a/c air was 63 degrees, while the air from my front 13.5K a/c was 62. The temp for both was measured right at the air grill. Most of the air for both is ducted, but I opened the grill just enough to get a little flow through and then measured the temp of the grill after it had time to cool down with the flowing air.

I'm pleased.

Ordered a new LED undercabinet light for over the sink. The original fluorescent fixture ballast failed 2 years ago and I wanted to put up an LED at that time, but couldn't find one "right then". So another fluorescent was installed. The ballast in this one died a couple of days ago and I decided to just order what I wanted two years ago.

The new one is 6 inches longer than the original one so it will light up more of the counter area, it has a multi level dimmer controlled by a switch on the fixture and it is LED. Hopefully a quality LED so I don't have to do this again anytime soon.

It was yesterday, but painted my hitch jaws white and the bottom of the king pin red. MUCH easier to see and confirm hitched properly when hitching up to come home this morning. Still did the pull test though...

First we hooked up, added a few gallons of water and a 10lb bag of ice to the black tank. Then drove about 15 mins to a local state park that has a dump station. I had time to dump and flush the tank real well.
Next I cleaned out mud dubbers (Wasp) from one of my roof vents and in between the slide and the chassis.

Got a coat of wax on the front in preparation for the upcoming outing next weekend. Also scrubbed the underside of the awning and greased all four stabilizers. Now it's ready to start loading later in the week.

The wardrobe shelf collapsed and led DH into the wardrobe with headlamp and screw gun
seems that of the four studs that ought to have been engaged, two were entirely missed and the shelf was held up by wallboard only. Since we do a lot of rough road travel that was bound to fail

We ergo inspected all cabinets to make sure fasteners were fastened to a stud. Some weren't That could be a catastrophe

This is something that you ( and we should have done) should examine at a PDI

Upgraded to an Oxygenics Shower Head, Added a "Bar" to my screen door, Put "Tension" rods vertically in the corners of both bunks and attached clip on fans (it gets very stuffy in the bunks, especially the bottom one) in anticipation of this weekends trip. Temps are forecast to be in the high 90's and our site is in the direct sun with no shade.

Re-organized both the pass through storage as well as the under bunk stuff in the rear. We've only had the camper about 2 months and I've "Re-organized" 3 times...

It was laundry time and also time to use/replace the water in my fresh water tank. I like to keep this tank full so I'm prepared when the park has a water main break and the water is off. So I switched to internal water, washed all of the dirty clothes, took a couple of showers over a couple of days and just generally used a lot of water. Then filled the tank back up when it was close to empty. Replaced the incoming fresh water filter with a new one and switched back to shore water. All is well again and I'm ready for the next water crisis in the park which happened 11 times last summer.

Roof maintenance

Tried ProTec Rubber Roof Care System for the first time to clean and UV-protect the roof...which is always a big job.

Original batteries were leaking. What a mess. Cleaned out battery box compartment and installed new sealed AGM 12 volt batteries.

Replaced the manual crank tongue jack with an electric power tongue jack, new tires all the way around including the spare. I need to install a battery disconnect switch but have been debating where to locate it until I saw mark.nowak's install in the battery box lid.

Checked out everything this morning for upcoming trip next weekend to Top Sail. One of the light switches in the bathroom no longer toggling! Thank goodness for Amazon Prime. Ordered a new switch and had it delivered about 30 mins ago! I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning before it gets too hot!!

My new LED fixture arrived late yesterday and I installed it immediately. What am amazing difference. No more F8T5's for me. This fixture is made by Thin-Lite, but they don't make it easy to find. Their catalog number is DIST-LED616P. It is dimmable and the attached picture is at about half brightness. On high it is "very bright". Great Product so far.
