I'm in the process of sanitizing my fresh water tanks right now. Even though I'm on full hookups, I figured it would be good to give them a shot of Clorox to kill the nasties. You never know, I may decide to bug out tomorrow. I miss the road.

Also, I made a temporary repair to my propane tank- to- regulator fittings. I've ordered a new pigtail for replacement. Should be here in a week or so. I made a post about checking for propane leaks HERE.

Replaced the piece of junk AM/FM/DVD player with a new Sony unit. We now have great FM and Blu Ray movies in our TT.

How about a picture and did it fit the hole 100%?

Today I emptied the grey and black tanks and then refilled the black tank with fresh water and added Borax, detergent and some bleach. Trying the Geo method of tank cleaning.

I purchased a Sony HBDE2100 from the local Wal-Mart Size was not an issue as our entertainment center is kind of a corner unit with generous shelf spaceClick image for larger version

I chose this unit after looking at several others and trying out an RCA model. I payed more than I wanted but this unit had all of the features I was looking for,such as wireless WI-FI, Blu Ray DVD player, and FM. The only mod to the new unit was I had to cut the plugs off of the speaker wires of the new speakers and butt splice them on to the existing speaker wires. Not too bad as the polarity was clearly marked on the plugs.

Yesterday was a busy day. I washed the roof, cleaned out the gutters, washed the entire exterior, and checked the entire trailer for any compromised sealant and damage.

There were only a couple of spots that looked suspicious. The Dicor around the TV antenna was cracked a little, and the sealant at the front edge of the roof was kind of iffy. I ran a good bead of new Dicor self leveling along the front roof edge and resealed the antenna. I used the rest around the bath exhaust fan and a bit to seal where the canopy mount screws go into the top TT edge.

Then, I re-sealed two windows (removed them from the TT, pulled off the foam gasket, and resealed with butyl putty). That's the last two windows- all are sealed with butyl now. Sometime later this week I'll run a bead of sealant along the top edge of all the windows, and re-do the sealant around the lights and other fixtures on the TT. After that's done it will be good and water tight, ready for the coming NorthWest rainy season.

Today I'll probably re-string all the blinds with new string. Some of the strings are looking pretty worn, and I hate it when one breaks. I'd rather stay one step ahead of the game.

I'm still kind of sore from my Saturday work-fest.

Measured my new Andersen Levelers to make sure they would fit between the tandems...they do. Bought a 3/4" drill socket to be used on the stabilizers, Plugged in the reefer to cool it down, checked air pressure on all 5 tires, packed everything but the ribs, ribeyes and brats for a 3 day trip to Roaring Springs. I really need to do what Smoker Bill did last weekend, but it will have to wait.......

Installed New flat screen tv. Loaded up all the new kitchen stuff I've bought over the last month or so moved it from the back yard to the driveway and hooked the electric up to get the fridge cold. Installed a solar charge panel for the battery. Mounted a water container on the bumper and mountsd a 12v pump on the tongue to use to refill the freshwater tank when needed. In short getting it ready to go scuba diving this weekend in Virginia

Started organizing for the trip back to my home base come Monday am. It is amazing how much we spread out after being in one location for 4 months.

After I wrote the previous post I opened my freezer to get some ice and all I saw was ICE. Yep, time to defrost so I did it about daylight so it will have time to cool back down before it gets hot outside. I always put my freezer items in the refrigerator section and then put these items back in the freezer section as soon as I turn the unit back on. This allows much faster cool down after the defrost.

Now for my second cup.
