Jeff,
There's absolutely noting wrong with your approach to achieve satisfaction with your rig. Everyone's got ideas on what's right for them. I have seen things worn out, broken, cracked, rusted, in sad shape, totally un-organized, and a whole lot more, on peoples cars, trucks, motorhomes, boats, motor cycles and more, for eons of time.
I've sometimes commented on some of it to my friends, "why don't you take care of that rust or, fix that broken piece of metal, or repair that part"? And many times, their answer is, "It don't bother me" "It still works don't it"? I simply forget it or, walk away. I take the same approach as you. It's not hard, most of the time, to do what you have done, which is, do a lot of simple maintenance.
When you're done, you can stand back and admire, what a nice, clean, well taken care of, WELL WORKING, rig you have. It's a matter of PRIDE! I don't call it ANAL, I simply call it, PRIDE. I applaud you for your actions. These rolling Kleenex boxes are too darned expensive to let them get into a state of disrepair and bad condition. Keep up the good work.
