This is what I've been doing since we returned the Tuesday before Thanksgiving;
MoHo Repairs
When I got back from our last trip I had the following repairs or upgrades on my list,
Fix Fridge, reigniter need to be replaced. X
Fix left amber sidelight, loose joint in light housing. X
Find cold air leak, in foot area on passenger side.
Install 12v outlets in cabinet above passenger seat X
Check converter, flickering lights and charge circuit erratic. X
Leak in rear seam, filon cut too short and not covered by molding.
Install light over dash, nice for looking at maps or directories at night.
Insulate doghouse, noise and heat abatement.
Fix step, making weird noises.
Replace trim piece at head of my bed, glue failed. X
Rewax front cap, mechanic used strong chemical on it, removed the finish. X
Install new light over dinette, getting older need more light.
Clean carpet and runner, it’s been several years & lots of traffic.
Fix leak in plumbing, turned out I had fixed it on trip. X
Reinstall closet floor and dresser, removed when working on leak. X
Shorten bathroom heater hose, had kink in it . X
Make bezel for HVAC panel, 22 year old plastic.
Make bezel for Front TV, same as above.
Replace screws for furnace exhaust vents/trim putty, cosmetic and Tech stripped holes. X
Tighten fastons on HVAC panel, too many on and offs.
Lube Antenna, vents, exterior locks, step X
Remount towed light connectors on MH and towed, just a cosmetic thing.
Check all drawer guides, having trouble with drawer guides coming apart. X
Make new fan assembly and install new light in kitchen exhaust fan, reduce noise.
I have since added the following,
Replace power cord male fitting, cable sheath pulled loose from molded head. X
Strengthen bed frames, screws holding bed frame put into foam siding and luan. X
Make two new leveling ramps out of 2X8 lumber, broke on trip(my fault).
Find better review mirror for right side blind spot, don’t like blind spot.
Make new window covers, old ones were cardboard w/sunrot.
Find a new magnet for entry door screen, fell out.
Install 12V outlet in bedroom for CPAP, need to use it on the road.
I have finished those marked with an X, but there is more wrong with the converter, lights wouldn’t work when I got to the storage yard, jiggled fuse panel and they worked. So now it looks like I’ll have to pull it out to find loose wire.
I need to do more to the front cap above the windshield, DW doesn’t like me getting up there so I have to wait for a nice day and she is gone
I thought I had found the air leak at the foot space on the passenger’s side of cockpit but DGS informed me last nigh I hadn’t, now I need to make cover for a window with a connector for my shop vac in order to pressurize the interior.
The mounting plate for the new exhaust fan has been laid out on the aluminum but not cut. Changed out the lamps in the vent and installed higher wattage so I think that will do for now.
I have decided what to do about the leaking seam half way down the back of the rear, I’m going to have it fiber glassed and painted, I have a quart of matching paint so I will save a little there.
Most of the other stuff just requires either buying the items needed or making them, but I’m having knee surgery tomorrow so they are all put off for a week or two so newly purchased items or Christmas presents should be here by then.
Whanna help?
I'm worn out from just reading the list.....:E I would prefer elective surgery to some of the items .....:B
Merry xmas
