Painted the yellowed door window trims and the range hood vent with plastic paint,
Checked out all the systems,sanitized the water system,vacumed and dusted inside.
Would have been a beautiful weekend to go camping here, but we cant leave the place till the horses are done foaling.

Guys that do re builds or start teardrops from and old frame swear by the POR stuff

Bought and installed a new faucet in the bath room sink. It was so easy less than 5 min I spent way more time cleaning the Water on the counter from the old one. I don't know who showed the pics of there mod on the White Hawk 28dsbh but thank you. And it was only $34.00 at Home depot.

After the past 4 weeks on the Florida Gulf Coast and lots of hot humid days, my bedroom a/c started a very small drip on the bed. I caught it very early and checked the 4 hold down bolts after removing the filter register. The two front ones were not even hand tight and the two rear ones were tighter. I tightened up the front ones to hand tight plus 1/4 turn with a wrench. No more leak.

This was the first time in 3 years I have had to tighten these bolts.

Getting ready for our next adventure! Checked tire pressures (spare was 20lbs low, others were right on), put some fresh water in the tank, tried a light mod that didn't work, so I'll have to try again another time, started making ice in the freezer (the little blue Camco ice trays are great), opened the propane valves and checked function on all propane appliances.

Closed the pup that was open to get ready for next trip, because there were tornado, and severe thunder storm warnings for our area. Better safe than sorry.

Sounds like my evening! I can't wait for Friday!

I also labeled the light switches in my control center.

I labeled my slide switches a couple of days ago, but obviously wasn't paying enough attention when I did because I got them backwards... Just a little surprised when the "wrong" slide started moving.

Something else to add to my list of things to "fix"

TV upgrade

I got my trailer a better friend to play with. Traded the Mazda for a 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 tow rig. I think it will enjoy the trip up the hills better with more power and tow capacity.

It's all hooked up to the truck (except the umbilical, don't want to take the chance on a dead battery) and ready to go!! Just have to get through this half-day of work and we're off!! It's too bad our camping friends bailed out on us, but it'll still be nice to get out!

Camping in it. 3rd trip since we bought our new camper in March. So far, very happy with this trailer.

I was looking at the owners manual for the stereo and found that there are two input jacks on top, so I took the stereo out, hooked up the two audio cables and ran them to the tv output and now the tv goes thru the stereo speakers. Much better sound, the only problem is that the remote doesn't control the volume now. That is something I can deal with since I can actually hear the tv now.

Washed the roof with Murphy's oil soap. Tightened the radio antennae and put a tie wrap on the TV antennae wire/sleeve as the original was off.
