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

Got it out of my buddy's barn and took it to the dealer for a couple of recall items that need to be taken care of prior to our first trip. Been parked since the week before Thanksgiving and it fired off in about 3 revs. Ran sweet and drove great - reminded me why I like this coach so well.

Installed a porcelain toilet to replace the plastic one in our 30' motorhome. Easy to do and so much nicer than the stained, hard to clean old one. Also added leather dinette, and reclining leather sofa.,plus wood parquay floors. Love the new look to the inside.

Well... Since I do not have a towed to carry it in I have a "Hitch Hauler" that I carry my wife's mobility scooter on (She uses it in some campgrounds plus she uses it as a "Tractor" to pull a "Trailer" (Little green lawn & Garden trailer) to the laundry and back) .. IT was damaged when I backed into something (Broke the main support) So Monday I took it off, and "Broke it down" (Removed the main support) then removed the 4" drop hitch adapter that I had installed to match my towed, this was custom built to also hold my bicycle carrier.

I got a new 36" main beam (orignal was 28") and Yesterday I drilled it out, mounted the bicycle carrier on it, put the main tray back on it, side it into the receiver and put the Blue-Ox anti-rattle clip on it and got it all re-loaded.. One long day's work.

Eariler (Monday) I also moved the license plate from it's original spot (Which would now be in front of the scooter and thus not visible) up next to the 3rd Eye brake light where it is clearly visible.

Today.. I wash
Next week I rename the rig "Poetic" so I can Wax Poetic. Oh the joy, and 2 weeks from Sunday, Head north again.

Got it back from the shop yesterday ...
Batteries checked and filled, they measured the hight at 11'9", installed new color rear camera, installed new MAXI Vent covers, and gave it a overall spring checkup. We are ready to go............................

1. found out that my privacy fence gate only allows 1" on either side
to allow my RV to go through and that was with the mirrors in... AND .. my
husband driving...
Sooo got my handy guys to make a bigger gate with bracing $$

2. Found out my RV is heavy and sank several inches in my newer driveway.
Soooo called the local paving place who is coming to widen my drive to allow me to drive straight into the rear yard (was curved driveway) and also at the rear put in a gravel pad for it to park on. $$$

This is my first experience with any sort of trailer or RV...
Wow expensive...
Also realised that the zillion things I bought online over the winter for my RV... that now fill my
basement, will probably not all fit in my RV...LOL

I traded my 1994 Bounder in and bought a 2003 Winnebago

Took the MoHo to Redlands Truck and RV repair in Redlands, CA, to have 4 radiator hoses replaced. They did an excellent job and I'm on my way to Paso Robles, CA, to meet a group of RVer's for the weekend.

MM.

Removed the broken bolt for my starter. Ordered a new starter and will stop at the Dodge dealer for three new starter bolts. Removed some more ground cables and cleaned up the connections. Need to get some more Eye Terminals for the smaller ground wires, some new screws for a broken window frame and a new grade eight 1/2" bolt for the battery ground point. I also need to order the new Fleet Guard Oil & Fuel Filters to change the oil. I will also order a Fumoto Valve as whoever changed the oil in the past must have used a pipe wrench on the drain pan plug. I will have to replace it and I will just add the cash to get the valve instead.

After working many days on my Avalanche, rigging it to be towed behind our Country Coach, I hooked everything up with our new Ready Brute tow bar and drove it to Shawnee OK just to try everything out.
So about 50 miles round trip and it all worked to perfection.... :)

Save a ton of money doing it myself.

The wife and I drove to the cave to get the rig out of it's winter storage, been there since Oct. 10. Now starts the spring maintenance regimen to get it ready for a southern trek after Easter.
