Got a rare 60-degree December day today so I did some work on the Allegro.
Sealed up a persistent leak where the roof rack attaches to the roof with Dicor tape. Did a few other mounting points that looked sketchy, too.
Replaced the thermostat for the front furnace. The back one failed last year at 31-years of age so that one was due. I like cheap, easy fixes.
Built ramps out of 2 pieces of 2x10x10 treated lumber stacked them 5 high so I have 7.5" of ramp with 8" "steps". Put under my left, rear tires it *almost* has the rig level on my steep lot. It's good side-to-side but slopes to the rear a bit. It's not close enough to fire up the fridge, but definitely close enough for the kids to hang out in there without feeling like they're going to fall out of the thing (we use it as a guest house/hang-out for the kids and their friends).
Put 10 gallons of fuel in it to bring the level up high enough to run my newly-repaired generator off of the main tank rather than a gas can.
