Look longingly at the MH garage every time I snow blow another layer of snow off the driveway. Will winter every end??
No, it will not. Got five inches of the white stuff last night, and it is snowing again. Should be another several inches, and there is more to come on Sunday.
It comes just in time, because the old snow banks were almost gone. fresh snow was very much required to get that wintery look back!
This is absolutely the longest winter I can remember, it stated late October and is still going strong!
On the positive side, we still don't have mosquitoes, yet! - StormlawExplorerHaving all fluids replaced, new PVC roof installed, having the entrance door rebuilt so that it is higher security, having the mount for the retracting steps reinforced , having a new high security gas filler panel installed, re-mounting my new infrared rear camera outside the stock housing so it is not blind t night. Removing old TV antenna mast, it is obsolete, i use in motion satellite. Also repairing couple of basement doors. Getting a quote to remove factory decals and do a custom paint job.
I forget to add having rollers installed on back so it won't scrape. - wandasoneExplorerWell, got back from our maiden voyage to Kentucky. (weather was cold and rainy but no snow on the ground!!) Hence I have performed the following; installed a new Alpine bluetooth stereo as the OEM one quit with every joint in the freeway. Installed all new PIAA headlight bulbs (kind of expensive but worth it!). Replaced half the interior bulbs with LED bulbs. Ordered a Hellwig front anti sway bar and 4 - Koni FSD shocks to be installed next week. Also coming is a Tire Minder TPMS, an Ultra Guard rear mud flap kit (Our toad-2012 Prius-was completely covered in sand and salt from leaving in a snow storm), and lastly 6 new gas springs for the storage compartment doors. Thats the complete list at this point, hope its all too!
- purplekeenahExplorerCleaned and organized the basement, sanitized the water systems, turned the propane on and fired off the stove, fridge, and hot water tank. Opened the four slides and baby powdered the seals. Cleaned and lubed the towbar, hooked up the umbilical to the toad and ran a light check all in anticipation of launching next Tuesday morning for a three week trek. The DW has been stocking the inside, last thing for me to do is a good exterior cleaning this weekend and we'll be good to go.
- xctravelerExplorerWashed off the bugs on the front from our run from Austin to Beaumont. DW cleaned the interior since we spent 5 days with water and electric, no sewer, at McKinney Falls SP - Austin. Movin' on tomorrow,will collect more bugs unless it keeps raining.
The current circuit since leaving Rochester, NY in Nov is 9,163 miles (but who's counting). - mustang652ExplorerDay two of the trip, drove from Holbrook, AZ to Santa Rosa, NM through high wind, snow, sleet and one minor dust storm.
- koda55ExplorerCleaned the refrigerator gas/electric chamber, cleaned hot water gas chamber, checked stove and oven. Then I sanitized the fresh water tank. Checked pressure in all the tires. Then washed it. Now all that is left is the trip.
- Scott___JillExplorerI don't think I would brave taking my MH into Mexico too many horror stories and especially everything that happening down there. I guess where in México you go to I would not know the good from the bad. But good luck to you on your travels.
- Canadian_RainbiExplorerThis week;
6 new Michelins, replacing tires with 136,000 kilometers/85,000 miles and 5 years of hard use (Mexican roads)
2 new chassis batteries, dated June 2007
ordered new shower tray that was leaking into the floor!
And last month:
New heat pump, broken fuel line to the injectors (replaced them all) and repaired a broken part that held the house frame to the chassis frame!
$$$.
However considering the age, mileage and usage, not too bad. Cheaper than a new one!
