- psgExplorerCleaned the interior after a weekend of drag racing. Sat on the uncomfortable couch and daydreamed about better furniture.
- FCExplorerMy MH come out of winter storage tonight and to the dealer for an oil change tomorrow. On weekend cleaning and stocking it and then next weekend camping.
- Biglou71ExplorerAirstone® Faux stacked stone...This stuff is awesome!!!!







- ncfd410ExplorerFinally picked it up from the dealer after six plus weeks waiting for warranty service to be completed. One part arrived today after I picked it up, so it will go back next week for that and some other work they did not complete. I am looking for a new place to get warranty work done on a 2013 Itasca Sunstar 35f. I am not very happy with the dealer who sold it to me. I will be speaking to Marcus at the Syracuse Rally.
For now getting ready to attend the Blue/White scrimmage in Happy Valley on Saturday. - Tucson_LawrenceExplorerFinished wiring up my tow vehicle (2012 CRV) and hooked it up to our motorhome (2005 Damon Challenger) for the first time.
All seems to work... I used diodes and the only "glitch" is that the amber turn signal lights light up solid when I hit the brakes (along with the brake lights) They do blink when I signal (with the brakes applied or not) so I think I'm ok.
Total cost to me - approx $500 for the baseplate, diodes, wire, a couple of 6 pin round recepticles... (when I bought my MH it included a blue ox towbar, a brakebuddy and the umbilical)
Thanks to another member here (FIRE UP) for all the help/advice. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard either and my savings was VERY significant.

This so true!!
I am now an expert at one more arcane issue that has no other application under the sun! - beaveExplorerAlmost finished installing the new air ride ride height valve. As the rig sets now with the air bags deflated, the rear end is about 2 inches above the driveway. Its funny haw many times I've had to read and re read the instructions that came with the valve. All I need to do now is air up the system and verify that the valve fills and dumps the bags and then adjust the ride height.
Such as small job, but it has taken about 4 months and almost $800 to get to this point. When the original valve failed my local RV shop installed a new one. That valve failed (or was improperly installed) just beyond the warranty period. Of course there was the fee for the mobile mechanic who came to service that valve. I finally became frustrated trying to deal with the shop and the valve manufacturer and ordered a new valve from a different vendor, and am installing it myself.

Man the weather is sure beautiful here in southern California. I feel for those up in the tundra. Heard they are still getting snow.
- bobphoenixExplorerDang!!! I knew I should have hustled faster on the outside work last week...
(Still need to replace the new tail light assemblies I got...)
I was going to do it yesterday but it rained... and now, today, it's going to be in the high 80's and humid... Guess I'll have to work on the inside (with the A/C on...)
Sorry in advance, to all the up north folks...
There's a lot to be said for "make hay while the sun shines..." - SRTExplorer

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!
Well, we got more snow starting at 11:25AM yesterday. Our snow level is back up to what it was 2 weeks ago. This time we've had 40-50mph wind gusts which means snow drifts in front of the garage doors and across the driveway.. Tomorrow, no snow, then it starts up again Sunday, Monday, etc.. When this finally melts there will be enough available ponds for the mosquitoes.
