- sundancer268ExplorerPainted new Dometic reefer new style roof vent prior to installing. Hopefully this will prevent the UV damage as happened to the old one.
- BobRExplorerInstalled new air compressor for Hadley Air Horns. Only got 20 years out of first compressor. Hopefully I will live long enough to complain about the new install failing in 20 plus years.
- baileyjmadExplorerTowed the toad with the RV from the garage that set it all up. Everything works great. I'm ready to boogie!
- xctravelerExplorerAdded a four drawer Rubbermaid stack to rear clothes closet after making a small step to level the floor. Now we have room for all the clothes we have always carried. Put two "bins" in the overhead compartments above the bed to make clothes more accessible.
We are slowly making small mods to make the Phaeton ours. - bigred1cavExplorer$500.00 to correct a miss in engine. V 10 Ford. Tune up?
- revumpExplorerTraveled from Las Vegas to Santa Maria, CA - from 100s+ to 70s-
- Yellowboat_ExplorerRe-strung the day/night shade in the bed room.
Replaced the cold air return vent cover. - baileyjmadExplorerTook the 2012 Thor Hurricane and the soon to be toad (2012 Chevy Equinox)in to be set up for toad towing. Getting a Blue Ox baseplate and Alpha towbar installed and the US Gear Unified Tow Brake System. Pricey but expecting (hoping) for an easy tow/disconnect experience on our trips.
- ZanyExplorerChanged out the plastic coolant recovery tanks on both the Cummins ISL 400 and the Onan Genset My coach is a 2004 Safari (by Monico) - - both tanks showed some cracking near the corners and the tank on the genset was 'wet' on the bottom.
These tanks are very important inspection items, for any unit more than about 7 years old and one that most folks and even technicians don't think about. Having your coolant blow out while you're on the road will shut you down - usually at a very inconvenient time
Also had the oil and all filters replaced, then I replaced all 6 batteries (house were 5 yrs, chassis were over 8 years but still starting the unit) Cleaned out the compartment too.
Changed both windshield wipers - took awhile to find parts as they are screw on vs. clip on type - - finally at NAPA - the were almost $30 each even after a AAA discount but the previous ones lasted over 8 years. - Canadian_RainbiExplorerWent inside to see what I have to do for the FMCA Vancouver Islanders Rally this weekend and found a new Sirius Radio still in the box lying on the dash. I suspect that DW will want me to install it!
