What did you do to your Class A MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

Last night I was able to clean up and check the house batteries.
I then tested the chassis batteries and determined I should replace them prior to the start of the travel season. While they were out of the battery trays, I pressure washed the engine bay, wire brushed the battery trays and applied a thorough coating of POR-15 to the trays. I also applied some POR-15 to several frame and crossmembers in the engine bay.
I also masked off the label and scuffed the hydraulic reservoir which was in need of some touching up. I wiped it down with Wax & Grease Remover and applied a couple of coats of Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black. I have found this paint to work very well in harsh environments such as these.
Last night I also bead blasted and applied some POR-15 to the battery hold-down hardware so tonight I should be able to install the new batteries. I also noticed that the positive cable was showing some signs of corrosion. I cut the insulation back a little and it has started to get into the strands themselves so I picked up some new 4/0 cable and battery ends so I can build a new cable and heat shrink the ends.
