What Did You Do To Your RV TODAY?

[edatlanta]

Just finished up the semi annual wash/wax. Whew, glad that is done.

[Duke4857]

Put a few things in it for the first time out this year.

Unfortunately my Champion 2000w inverter generator will not run my 15K AC with the EasyStart installed. It will start it, but not run it. The Champion has 1700w running and I need 1920w [16amps] to run the thing.

Filled the fresh water tanks. Added about one cup of Clorox for a santization boost.

The host campsite I'm staying in has really funky plumbing for the water supply to the site. I'm about 50 feet from one of the parks bathrooms, and whenever someone uses the facilities my water pressure drops.

The flow to my trailer stops completely whenever someone opens the faucet at the outdoor sink next to the bathroom.

Kind of sucks, but I'm leaving my tanks full from now on with the pump turned on all the time. When water pressure drops or stops the pump takes over. I'd hate to be all soaped up in the shower and lose water pressure. LOL

Tied up the gas line, hanging pretty low.
Put cable tube on wires hanging and rubbing on frame
Built supports for "patio" ramp .

[TCNashville]

Cleaned the propane burner tube on the fridge. Gotta great flame now.

Broke down and ordered a second cover for the TT. It’s a super lightweight one I can easily throw on myself or with DW. I love my heavier Elements one for winter and once it’s off, we are generally on the road all summer. This year, we’ve had some interruptions and I can’t bear to see the rig cooking in 108* temps like we’re having this week. Cover is from RV-Masking — my neighbor has one and it seems good. I’ll let you all know in a few months.

It's funny that you mention the temps. I just got off of the phone with my aunt in Sacramento and she was commenting on how brutally hot it was out there for this time of year.

Yep, starting early. And Sac is 10 degrees cooler than us. Gonna be a long summer.

Sounds like it. Meanwhile, we are low 60's and sunny here today.

Speaking of covers, I have never covered an RV, but I am considering getting something to cover my Sprinter. It develops this white, chalky film on the black paint very quickly after detailing it. I am assuming that it is from the sun. I've never seen it on any other vehicle we've owned however.

Towed her home last night. Been loading up all day and making sure everything is running properly. Leaving for Utah on Wednesday morning.

[Bandit12]

Towed it home from Antelope Lake near Taylorsville, CA

[Big Al]

Noticed my propane lines under trailer supported by plastic hangers punched into the coloplast(sp) by factory came loose. This placed tension at the fittings. No damage. Cut 1/2" EMT to span frame, flattened ends to screw into frame to ty wrap to.

[RAurand]

Installed Wet Bolt Kit.
Called AJ's Truck & Trailer repair, Last week. Took it in Yesterday and they called this morning saying it was done. I love this place. I call them on Monday for a Trailer State Inspection, by the end of the week trailer is inspected. (I usually wait on it) They put Camping World and Meyers RV both to shame! i DON'T GO TO EITHER PLACE ANYMORE.

The plastic bushings were almost all ground flat with a hole in the bottom. Even the original bolts were getting flat spots.
Had the trailer for 6 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!

Will you be able to grease them without removing the wheels?

Towed her to Albuquerque, NM. Staying at a pretty nice KOA just to the north. Tomorrow we head to Utah.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the best part about this KOA! There’s a brewery directly next door! Walking distance!! Y’all know where to find me!

Went thru a hellacious “sun shower” about 40 miles east of Albuquerque! Had cruise set at 68 mph ( for those wondering…I averaged 8.4 mpg from Dallas to Albuquerque) and I could see us getting closer to what I thought was just a sun shower. When we hit the shower the wind speed went up and I had to slow to about 50 mph (along with everyone else), the temp dropped from 80 to 49 degrees in 2 minutes! We drove thru some of the biggest rain drops I’ve ever seen (& I grew up in S FL)! After about 5 mins we get thru the storm and the temp raised back up to 75. Then my TPMS goes crazy…alarms galore for all tires! So I pull off at the next exit and start checking all the tires. All is good…the only thing I can think is that is was the rapid temp change!

I guess we’ll see what tomorrow has in store!

YEP. My grease gun has a 90 degree elbow on the grease fitting at the end of the grease gun. AND I have a flexible hose.

You apparently went right past me...if you took 287 and passed through Clarendon, I was within spittin' distance. CHEERS. Oh, and I stayed in that exact KOA in 2019, going to Phoenix, it was GREAT!

Finally replaced the terrible capital grill. I just cut the front of the counter up for more room and used a sheet of aluminum on top. Cut the aluminum to fit the new cook top and she is ready to go.

Still living in it ... in the driveway...

But we did get to make a short trip last weekend, but it was a "working" trip,

I need an actual "vacation"...
