- zmotorsportsExplorerFinally got around to investigating my ground issue for my dash gauges. I only picked the hottest day of the year to work right behind that huge windshield. I pulled the dash apart and found a ground connection that I was getting about a .6 volt drop across from the main ground buss.
Whenever I would turn my headlights on or windshield wipers and the lights would come on my gauges would all change due to the added resistance. Now everything is working perfectly.
I also was informed on our last trip that my right side brake lights were not as bright as the left side so I tore into that and found another grounding problem back there. Corrosion was causing about a volt voltage drop to the right light bank. I cleaned all of the connections and we're good to go there as well.
I did a good semi-annual inspection of my hitch bolts and welds prior to towing our trailer this next week.
Mike. - GreyghostExplorerInstalled a Verizon antenna for my mifi access port. Didn't get any more bars, but so far there haven't been any dropped connections. Even with a major storm that rolled through here last night (Northern Minnesota).
- RayChezExplorerI have been waxing my coach with VIP Swirl Away. I work on it for about two hours everyday after the sun goes down and it cools down some. No big rush taking my time and in two days working on it for two hours a day I have about three quarters of the coach done. WOW! this stuff really makes it look like a brand new coach. The paint job with the clear coat you can see yourself like a mirror. I will finish the job tomorrow. I want to get this done before we take off on an Alaskan cruise. Protect the paint job because this has been a very good coach and it seems like it will serve us a long time.

Got up this AM,made coffee and went outside to pull the window awnings down and the door awning bracket pulled out of the wall.Fixed that.Then I went to put the main awning down and discovered that I was two inches from extending it because of a tree. Started it up,pulled the jacks and moved two feet just to be sure.Put the awning down and turned around and walked into the rear arm.ooppss.
Hooked up the drain hose and discovered that it goes uphill.Durn.
Went in to wash my hands and found out that the kitchen faucet sprayer had stuck in the on position after th DW had washed her hair.
Sat around outside reading a book and relaxing till the temp got up to 90 and now I'm inside in the 64 temp from the A/C's which are working well.

Hopefully it will be here next week. Less than two weeks until our vacation, getting antsier the closer the time comes.
- GreyghostExplorerOver the last four days we replaced our dinette with a factory work desk and roll top table. The table pulls out to a full 44 x 26 inch eating area and serving area of about 70 x 16. We installed the dinette in a cabin at my BIL place on the lake. Everybody won on this one.
- psmooreExplorerLooked out the window of my house at it, thinking I can't wait until Sat morning to get out camping with it! LOL
- MrsMingoExplorerOrdered the carpet and new Allure flooring for our coach. Plan on replacing the floors later this month. Right now in lower MI for a motorcycle rally and today we'll be checking out the local rv surplus places for 12v rope lights and a few other things to replace/repair. Next monday we're dropping the rv off at Precision Paint for a new paint job!!! :) Staying with son, wife and grandsons for the month - a whole new experience!
- JsidExplorerFinally repaired my three-piece shower door. It is a pain to remove so the roller on one door can be replaced. It is a two man job, but my DW agreed to help, and we got it done. Been putting it off for over three years.
