As for you if you like the ride do the brakes. (but boy I like that hitch)


Yep. If momma ain’t happy, no ones happy!

And I will probably put off the hitch. My setup tows ok. It’ll be brakes as my next big mod.

It’s a good thing you put that extra A/C unit in...with that new satellite dish you’ll always be parking in some nice clear sunny spots! ☀️

The yearly oiling of the Fan motor from the A/C and installed an extra trust-washer.
Cleaned the condenser and Evaporator coils.
Done also the insulation modification.
I have seen many who do not oil their Fan motor and it will seize up after X years and very noisy.

Finally installed the Progressive EMS-LCHW50. Put it in line just before the converter and fuse box and boy was there a mess of wires in that space. Had to pull a Houdini to stuff it all back in place after it hooked up but all is good and it is working.
On to the next project.

Happy RVing,
Jeff

One of the twins actually washed it this evening! Unbelievable. I'm so sorry that I didn't take a picture.

What Did You Do To Your Jayco TODAY?

I finally got around to scrubbing the trailer today which was badly needed. I then realized that the white wagon wheels were all rusted out and chipped and really bringing the old girl from a 7 to a 3.



Got her dressed up some. Wire wheeled and flap disc to the wheels, acetone bath, primer, paint, clear coat for the wheels and caps. What a difference. It took a while but I just did one wheel at a time and did the spare two. We just put new tires on it after two flats in one year.

Don’t mind the overspray, it came off easy enough.

I didn't do this one the wife did. She replaced the cheap but effective laundry bag we had for dirty clothes with this collapsable bag. Of course the bag alone wasnt enough she had it embroidered to boot.. Kinda neat tho remove the little poles out of the corners and it collapses almost as flat as a pancake and it has handles for easy carrying. Click image for larger version

Cleaned all the slides and seals top to bottom and put 303 protectant on everything.

Also replaced smoke detector battery.

On a side note put some tape on the old battery before you toss it.
