Upcoming maintenance :(

Due to Covid, all of our trips had been canceled until this past weekend.

I'm good about doing preventative maintenance.

My list of actual post trip maintenance grew alot this past weekend.

Found a small amount of side wall caulking that looked questionable. Easy and quick fix.

Water heater access door latch broke, rigged it up to get home.

Had a small water intrusion during a heavy rain on the front bunk. Expect this will be an easy fix, just need to move the canvas in a corner of an htt, where the canvas is known to pull away.

Frig, appears not to be working right on electric. Ran on gas at camp. Flipped it to electric when we got home this evening. Well see what the temp is like in a day or two. Might need an electric heating unit. This sounds like a pain the change out based on a friends comment last year when he had to replace one

Noticed a little rusty line on the front cap, from a screw, suspect, I need to pull it, and apply a little caulk, to keep from a future delamination issue.

AC did not seam to be working at top performance. Suspect the outside coils are dirty, probably cotton from cotton wood seeds. I'll have to pull the cover one evening when the tt is in the shade.

Awning did not want to roll in. Motor has always struggled. I cleaned and lubed the tracks, helped but still steamed slower than usually. Saw wasps going in and out of the cover over the weekend, so the might be a nest in there .

Everything else seamed good! Just glad to have gotten out of the house.

My goodness that’s a lot of issues all at once. Glad to hear that you got out there camping last weekend!

Been putzing on the maintenance.

Outside AC Coils have been cleaned. I expected them to be worse than they were. But after hosing them down, and a light brushing they were sparking clean again. Will just have to give it a test run. Did find a small paper wasp nest under the cover.

Frig, hummmm. Been on electric since we got home. Seems to be working just fine. Been changing the temp settings once a day. DW was convinced it was not cool enough, on the bottom. Frig thermometer on top read that it was at the ideal temp. In the past prior to an inside fan, we have had issues with the veggi drawer freezing. I guess I will continue to monitor it for a few day.

Water heater door latch. I think my temp fix might be better than the replacement parts.

Got it all caulked up tonight.

Awning, cleaned and lubed the track and is seems to be back to normal. I did not pull the plastic caps, to see if any wasps are making homes under them.

Just one more maintenance item left, which is to look at the front bunk where it was leaking. I have a plan, so I just need to find some time to get to it.

Just make sure that after you fix the front bump you take a nap. You deserve it. .
