Yesterday I repaired the drive shaft parking brake by replacing the brake shoes.
Then removed the wheels, 19.5" needing 450 lbs of torque, and made sure the disk brakes had plenty of pad left. They do.
Today will be greasing and lubing the chassis.
Tomorrow is removing the house batteries and adding water if needed. Distilled of course. Then vacuuming, cleaning and finally washing using a product that waxes at the same time. 303 Protectant on the tires and Windex on the windows and we will be ready for the next trip.
There is always something but it is still fun and a good hobby for an old timer.
I LOVE YOUR maintenance program "great" and...you use a waxed cleaner,so do I,goes to show we old timers are way ahead of the scrub and wash brigade.Do you use molly grease as well? Don't forget to check the park brake switches, mine locked up once and left me with a nasty smokey taste in the mouth,and a traffic jamb.I check my park brake regularly now. Yeah...RVing a great hobby.
