Returned from our spring break trip last night. Took care of the interior then. Today I tackled the exterior after returning it to storage. Amazingly nothing broken after I30 west of Dallas. Horrible surface to be avoided in the future.

Made shelves for bed in master since king has no nightstands and for sofa in bunkroom.
Fresh coat of paint on cargo carrier.
Sealed metal plate over tires with flexseal so water can't come in around staples.
Fixed two more a/c vents in ceiling for max air flow.
Can't get anymore pic's to load. They error out around 85 percent. Maybe one day I'll get it figured out.

Finished replacing the broken skylight dome...
and gave the whole thing a thorough wash. It's pollen season, here, and everything - particularly, the TT, is covered in it.
I got one of those rotating brushes and a foam sprayer, both of which attach to my pressure washer... so it was a wet and soapy afternoon !

De-winterized my TT today.
Completely flushed all of the AF out of the pipes. I then ran 2 gallons of fresh water through the intake for AF. Opened up lines for fresh water pump and flushed the freshwater tank good and cleaned it by adding a cup of bleach to the tanks. After flushing everything good with that, opened up hot water bypass valves and flushed the HWH good. Fired up the gas and electric water heaters to make sure it's making hot water. Checked all connections for leaks and it looks like we're good there. Replaced all panels and dividers that were removed while winterizing.
While working, I fired up the generator and ran the TV, stereo, AC and several lights while working on it for about 4 hours. Averaged about 14-16 amps with everything running. Did note that with the AC and everything else on, the electric water heater will draw approx. 26 amps which my generator alerted on but ran fine. I even ran the microwave and AC at the same time with no problems. Very please with how that HF Predator 3500 is running.
It was washed at the dealer the other day when they had to replace the regulator/pigtail for propane and some plumbing under the shower. Now it's time to clean the inside good.
Spring break in 3 weeks. Get to go visit my oldest daughter in college at the beach for the week.
P.S. I also bought an xchock Friday to help stabilize the TT a little more. So far, I'm not real impressed. Local dealer said "most people" on use one (of course, that's all he had on the shelf.)

I have been using a Watts 263A water pressure regulator full time since 2011. It has required disassembly and cleaning plus a rebuild kit twice during this period. Primarily due to high lime content at my home base site. 2-3 weeks ago I thought I needed new filters due to low water flow. The filters didn't help so I finally isolated the flow issue to the 263A. When I had cleaned it and installed the kit parts several weeks back I soaked the body in CLR, blew it out with high pressure air, etc. and put it back in service as I had done several years previous. So I bought a new one which I installed yesterday and my good flow rate is back.
Does anyone have any ideas where the plug is in my original 263A? I simply can't find it and after all parts are removed it is just a hunk of brass.
Thanks.

Got it real dirty with a six week tow with no wash. Except for the snow and ice of the last two days
It’s good to be home
Do to it is a good term
We didn’t do anything good for it

The South had the most snow. Virginia. PA. Maine got nothing. We got snowbanks from prior storms but its melting.
Florida had too much traffic in some areas. Drove us nuts. Its nice for a visit but time to get out of there.

Made some covers for my new Propride hitch and Strapteks. Trying to protect from the brutal Florida sun.

TV Garage Added Tarp to cover Front of TT
My RV garage is not long enough to keep the front of my TT out of the weather. So I added a heavy duty tarp on a slight angle to keep the sun and rain off my trailer.
Ordered the 18oz vinyl tarp from Tarp Supply.

Hooked it up to the TV to get a measurement from the top of the AC unit. 13' 1". This will be our first time towing a FW. Will need to pay close attention to the route and overpasses.

I opened the door, took out the portable electric heater we keep in the camp trailer, locked the door. I took the heater over to my son's house because their furnace would not run.
LOL :-) Did not do much, but I opened the door. We got a very light snow storm last night. I am missing camping. Need to get a camping fix. Camping fix will have to wait for another month.

Took her out of winter storage at the county fairgrounds! Need to get it cleaned up and put some protectant on the roof. Looking forward to a busy camping season.

Organizing "stuff" for travel after 5 months at my home base site. It is amazing how I "spread out" when not traveling for a while. We are going to a campground this weekend with two other family camping groups for a week.
