I tried to straighten out a small dent in the end of the bumper. I really hate concrete walls.

You may not remember Rob, but my brakes never felt right from new and last summer I found the left rear brake did not have the adjusting wheel even in the brake assembly. One broken spring was there, but no adjuster. Dexter paid for it after I had the entire hub replaced by a mobile repair guy here in Florida.

I wonder if these missing parts are more wide spread than we know?

Do not know Ed, going to try to get the other side done this weekend so if anything else is missing or wrong I can deal with all of it at once.

MY LEDs are in (to replace my interior lighting) and I prepped them for install. Picking up the light meter today to check the foot candles and dispersion vs incandescent.

I dumped my tanks this morning for the first time this year using the tote. I am on a state park site for the next four months. During the winter I installed a 2" hitch receiver on my golf cart so I can use it to tow to the dump vs my truck. It worked very well and made the job much easier since the golf cart can turn around in the road without having to back up. I will definitely be looking forward to full hook ups at my home base site come mid-September.

very cool!
last year, when planning a Florida trip with my sister,I used street view to show her where dad spent the winters and low and behold, there he was!!! his face was blurred for "privacy" but easily recognizable.

Installed the new Winegard Wingman.

Changed out the old 110v electric heating element for the fridge with the new one. No more GFCI trips when the fridge is on AC.

Also changed the batteries in the tv remotes.

Opened up windows for air circulation, turned on fridge to start cooling, and began packing in goodies for our upcoming beach trip.

Also put on some new lap sealant in areas where the old stuff was not looking so great. Had some cracking going on. 11 bucks and 10 minutes is small insurrance against water damage.

Washed and waxed her, and cleaned the roof. Also a real good cleaning inside!

Cleaned off the dreaded black streaks and gave it a wash. Loaded a few more items and strapped on the sewer tote. 36 hours to go!

Added a 30lb propane tank so I do not have to move the rig to fill the onboard tank. Was simple to do. Rig is at a campsite till Oct.

Thought I'd never find myself doing this again but got half of her hand waxed yesterday and hope to finish the rest today or tomorrow. I need a electric buffer for sure
