Washed the roof and sides of rig Monday afternoon. Today, I installed the TPMS sensors and checked/adjusted all the tire pressures. Loaded bikes and kayaks. Unloaded some summer stuff from the storage in preparation for 3 weeks in North Georgia and Western N.C.

We leave Thursday.

Started the process of pulling wire for a rearview camera on a 322FKS. Tomorrow may be the day to install the camera to work whenever the lights are on. I will then go to the Ram and run two lines for cameras, one on the TT and one on the TV, to the front of the cab. Once that pair of lines are inside the cab it should be very easy.

Had to feed a 3/4 pvc pipe above the covering of the bottom of the TT to get a fishtape through and then pull the cable back. Did this from the rear to the rear slide access panel then to the front slide then to the tongue. Needed to keep it out of the weather.

The rear camera will be mounted on the ladder and wired from the brake light assembly.

Hooked to shore power because the battery is low already (we've tried unhooking the negative cable and that doesn't buy us much time either). Put away kitchen things that we cleaned in the dishwasher and the new 1.5 qt crockpot and wanted to put up cup hooks but couldn't find the ones I wanted at Ace. Put up a magnetic knife holder, paper towel holder and a custom made (by dad) magazine rack that we use for kitchen utensils. Our TT is parked at the house but when we go in it to do things we both think "this looks like home - when are we going camping again!". Oct 25 is when...can't wait. I'll post pics of the kitchen when the cup holders are up.

Fresh water filters were installed today, sediment filter and charcoal filter. The best thing I can say about water in the desert is that it is wet. I also installed a BAL chock on the shady side of the trailer. Early tomorrow while it is cool I will put on the wheel covers and BAL chock on the hot side of the trailer.

Made a step so DW could get in to the front pop-out bed. I took the rear one with the dog (a 90lb.Rott) and I have never been cold!!! She's next to me right now and I'm right up against the wall. Good night all !

I'm new to the forum and to my 2001 Potomac. I'm still chasing wires to get my overhead lights to work. I've lost the hot wire (I think) to the battery cutoff switch located under the sink and can't find it anywhere. If anybody out there has a 2001 +- heritage, I would like to pick your brain on a little wiring/converter help Thanks

Pulled our new White Hawk 30DSRE home today after camping in it for the first time. Spent 3 nights at a state park just down the interstate from our home. It was great. Have a few issues that we will need the dealer to fix - Shower leaks between the glass partition and and the bathroom sink. Too tight of a space for me to even get my hand into. Had to push a towel in there to soak up some water. All other stuff, very minor.

Our 40 TV had your typical 3 RCA cables running into it. Discovered that if I just pull the left/right audio 'in' wires and replug them into the left/right audio 'out' ports on the back of the TV I can now listen to the sound via the TT speakers which are so much better than the ones inside the television.

Pulled the rig out of our summer spot. Gave her a good wash and cleaned and lubed the towing bar. Still more cleaning to do.

In mid Oct heading to TX.

I've been using my trailer as a base camp for work for the past month and will do so into December. Today I pulled it home to pack up for a 3 day camp trip with the boys. Going to get in a fishing trip before it's too cold

I finished unloading everything out or the pup. It's all empty and cleaned and ready for a new owner, just as soon as I find one. We decided to sell it instead of storing it somewhere. Maybe after I get a bigger truck, we can look for another one.

I put the tire covers and BAL chock on the sunny side of the trailer. I also vacuumed the carpets and admired the long scratches in the kitchen floor from the slide.

Got rid of the OEM faucet in the bathroom. It was too small and too close to the bowl. Got new Peerless faucet in brushed nickle to match other fixtures. Turned out great.

Replaced the hot water tank drain plug. Emptied the water from dri-Z-air containers.

Cleaned / Defrosted excess Ice out of the Freezer, now with Fall / Winter here and the humidity lower, should not be getting ice building up so fast.
