What I did to my RV today

The post for class a is so long I thought I'd start my own.

The rear cap on our rig is three pieces, one, quarter round piece of fiberglass on the top, and two flat panels of filon with a slight angle where the two pieces meet. The "Fleetwood "C" channel that covered the joint(really a 3/8 to 1/2" gap) was not installed properly and the bottom piece was slipping out from under the channel. Last week I realigned the channel and reattached it to the rear cap, primed it and finished some other work. Today I sanded the fine edgeline of the primer so I could feather the touch up paint and painted the channel and immediate area. Can't wait for the DW to drive up and notice that the rear cap is now all one smooth, even, shiny color.

I touched up another area at the same time and tomorrow I'll rub them out

    Try $100 for an Atwood screen door on our coach! We are still trying to get Atwood to respond as it should have been a warranty item.

  • I waxed the second half of the TT. Small effect but lots of work!
  • Added Tornado flusher to black tank. About 30 minutes. Two hours (and trip to Walmart)to get toilet brush that DW dropped down toilet while getting ready to install Tornado.
