What did you do to your Class A MH today???

Turned a flip out clothes hamper into a cabinet for storage. Half the space inside the hamper was wasted. Replaced the old Dometic toilet with a new one. Apparently the previous owner spent a lot of time at parks with very hard water. Many of the water holes inside at the bottom of the rim were plugged with mineral deposits. I think the whole water passage inside the rim was full of mineral deposits too. Barely a trickle of water coming out after cleaning out the small holes.

I re-plumbed my shower drain with new drain hardware and new PVC connections between the drain and the tank. I made the mistake of doing it the way it had been done only to realize that it had been done wrong in the first place. It only took a few minutes and extra hardware to do it right but now there are no more leaks!

Got a few things done. Had the alternator rebuilt for $94, not bad, and re-installed, the bearings where worn and one wire just unhook from rust when I touched it.

Then, I install a new AC belt and a new fan belt. Wow, I am happy the rad was out for a rebuilt. Access to the adjuster bolts is very hard and the nuts where quite hard to undo. To get the fan belt back on, I had to unscrew the alternator to give me a tad more looseness, could not figure to refit it without the alternator loose, looks like there is not enough slack with the tensionner. Re-installed everything with lots of antisize.

I also did some rust removing from under, painted it before is gets worst. Tomorow, I will re-install the heavy duty rebuilt radiator, the rebuilt intercooler, $3000 dollars for both, the trany cooler, refill with antifreeze and change the trany oil with Fleerite synth. 295 Alison spec. and filter.

Got a "brake" today!

While driving the coach the last few miles back to our Adirondack cottage yesterday after a trip to Michigan via Ontario, I felt the brake pedal starting to drop during stops. I swung into a pull out a couple of miles from our road and took a look underneath to see if I spotted any fluid leaking. Sure enough, there was a fairly large amount brake fluid dripping off of the ABS module, not what I wanted to see. I replaced a leaky module on a friend's Ford 350 a year or so ago, and the module alone was north of $600! I limped the coach to the cottage, and today, after everything had dried out, I took another look. After adding a few ounces of fresh fluid, I found that the ABS unit was not the culprit! Instead, a small rusted area on the front brake feed line from the master cylinder to the ABS unit had sprung a leak with the fluid running back to the ABS before dripping off. This was really good news! $40 at NAPA and an hour later, the new brake line was installed and ready to bleed. Another 30 minutes with my pressure bleeder, and all is well again! The cost would have been even less, but I bought 2 quarts of DOT 4 fluid so I could flush the entire system while I was at it. The rest of the brake lines are in great shape, with no signs of rust anywhere. On closer inspection, there was a plastic wrapped wiring harness that was rubbing on the brake line. It must have been abrasive enough to wear through the coating on the steel line, allowing it to rust. The replacement line is copper/nickel, and I rerouted the wire harness, so that won't happen again anyway. All in all a good day, and flushing the system was on my fall to-do list anyway.

Flushed the genny with carb cleaner and sea foam after it gummed up from sitting....:o

Re-attached the screen door which had been re-screened by P N R Screens in Saanichton BC for the $28.00 Beats fighting around the latch corners with my arthritic fingers.

Had the electric gray waste valve replaced.

Waxed the roof and replaced the bad Kwikee step controller.

Clean the roof check seams on roof

I parked it.We don't travel on major holidays!!!
