Hello Everyone OP here again.
It has been a little more than 2 years since I have given a progress report on my ownership of a Former Rental.
I have completed my 7th consecutive successful week long Thanksgiving trip with my extended family.
My usage has changed a bit since the last report, instead of long range trips where I only stayed a day or so, sometimes up to 3.I have gone more often, monthly, on shorter trips and stayed longer at my destination.
This has included
Casino Camping, some have FHU parks and others are dry camping. I still go to our county, state and local RV parks. I have spent more time camping and a lot less driving, I like this change for now. The nice thing about the RV lifestyle is that you can change it up to suit your pleasures at the time.
As in my previous report, all the appliances are still in excellent working order and trouble free, all the doors, cabinets and drawers are working as they should and the fit and finish is still very good. All the tank sensors are still working as they should and the generator now has a bit more than 1200 hours on it without a single problem, if it hasn’t been run at least monthly I will start it up and put it under load for an hour or so.
I have kept up all the routine maintenance, checking all seams and openings and making sure that they are sealed and weather tight, washing waxing and all fluid check and changes that are needed.
I have encountered just 2 problems in the last 2 years. One was a water leak in the bathroom, it seems that the poor design of the toilet water module on my Thetford Bravura caused it to fail and start to leak thru the side of the unit after 8 years. It was an easy fix, one thing about this toilet is that the module is easy to get to and change without removing the toilet.
The other was that I noticed that while driving my house batteries were not being charged from the engine alternator. I had my suspicions as to what it was, thru my own knowledge and what I have learned here on the Forum, but I went ahead and did the complete diagnostics from checking the grounds, fuses, and the bird. It was confirmed that it was indeed the continuous duty solenoid that I thought it was. I replaced it and now everything is working as it should.
I found that they have a service life of about 10000 cycles, being 12 years old and 5 of that as a Rental I confirmed thru a RV tech that it had lived as long or longer than expected.
I am very happy with my choice of this Former Rental and its performance; it has given me great confidence in its use and dependability and a lot of wonderful memories. I look forward to many more years of trouble free trips with family and friends or on my own.
I hope others on this thread have had the same luck and dependability and would share with us how it is going with your Former Rental.
Ok time to get back on the road, after all here in So California it is camping season year round.
The next report is rite here
