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

Woke it up from winter nap uncovered cleaned and loaded for first trip this Easter

Loaded up the MH and drove to Lake Pines RV Campground in Midland, GA where we will stay for three weeks then off to Virginia, D.C. and back down through the mountains.

Half way through the prep to do the Red Max #3 thing. At the rate I'm going the side I finished will have oxidized and I'll need to do it over again.

After having what I thought was a rear air conditioner gasket leak and cleaning the ceiling twice, I found it was the shower skylight which was cracked around the forward screws. Thank goodness for elastomeric tape, i'm now leak free!

Installed a front receiver hitch and flip-down license plate bracket so I can use a bike rack in the front.

Had no lights to the Jeep, checked at the socket at the rear of the MH, no +12V , no tail light voltage, nor signal, brake etc. Looked underneath, a 7 conductor cable had been completely severed. The cable had been routed below part of a frame member and had been cut completely through by something. Lots of road construction along the way, must have run over something.

Fortunately I had just enough crimp connectors to repair them and Freightliner and or Itasca bless their little hearts have the wiring numbers every 6 inches or so on every wire. Wasn't hard to figure out which piece went where. Now we're good to go tomorrow morning. Maz here we come (Northbound unfortunately!)

filled the gas tank before the Memorial Day gouge,started right up after sleeping since mid-Sept,exercised the gen,no one's home so I cracked open a brew & watched the TV in the MoHo,amazing how you get relaxation time back as the rugrats get older!:W

Installed the Alternator I rebuilt last fall. Need to replace the regulator harness , previous people have four splices on each wire and only one pair were done right. Hopefully will be able to pick it up tomorrow and install it later this week.

Yesterday I put new batteries in it. It only had 2 6 volts in it running everything so I added a 12 volt to start the engine. I also started a repair on the inside of a cabinet that I had to repair cause of some water damage. The beast started right up after a couple of cold months. Going back today for some more work with this warmth coming out.

Yesterday, I washed outside (4 hours) and vacuumed the inside (not time for more)). For outside, climbed on top, washed the brush extension, on my hands and knees. Extended the slideouts and washed the sides and hand dried. Opened the awning (20 footer!) and washed the underside and the top.

Checked the engined fluids, and sprayed off the dust in engine compartment. Cleaned the chrome wheel covers and black walled the tires. Checked the tire pressure.

Ran out of time for more prep.

Good to go for trip next weekend.....

Why do I sweat just reading this post?? I remember!! Been there,done that...and that chore is comming real soon. UGGGHHH

Getting ready to leave for our first trip of the year. Installed new side marker lights, tightened loose screws, checked all fluids and air pressure, loaded up groceries, supplies, etc, and leaving at 8am in the morning. Ready for R&R and catching up with my fellow rv'ers at campsites and swapping stories. Everyone have a safe and enjoyable RVing year. Jim
