Looked at it in the drive and wondered who I can get to come an give it a wash and wax and what that will cost! We have another week of dry mostly sunny weather forecast. Need to get it done soon and it's beyond me.

LOL too funny as I was thinking the same thing reading all of these posts that people are washing and waxing.

Well a fellow at work is a car detailer (hobby job he is VERY good at) and I asked him how much to come to my home (his house doesn't have enough room) and he said $350.00-$450 to wash and wax the entire RV... just depends on how much time he has to spend.

I was at first shocked but after reading the hours that people spend on it... well... maybe not so bad. Maybe I can get him to seal the roof with a treatment I read on here people are doing as well, might be a good idea too...

Well off to the RV place to see how much to fix my leaky slide out roof... sigh

I've been watching this thread for quite awhile, but until now we have been in the research mode, but today we sent out the spec sheet to 4 dealers to get a quote on the new coach we want to get ordered.

A week ago, I added an Extend-A-Stay connection to the propane system. Today, I added two Costco LED strips. One above the woefully lit stove, and the other above the entryway for those late night dry camping entries!

Went on another weekend trip.. after a front alignment and
2 new front tires (ruined one on hittiing pot holes on road repairs I suspect from my last trip)

Joined Good Sam's Club road side assist after finding out CAA only will do tows and any phone calls to ask questions (ie can they send someone out to look at my broken wiper) counts as a service... wow...
Good Sam's road side had a special on for $99.00 for 2 years and they will send service out to me, as well as I can call and ask questions about any issues I may have or need (ie where to find a place to fix my wiper)... pretty great deal if it is what it says.

On the way home heard what sounded like an open window sound on drivers side...
got louder as I neared home.
Went into Speedy Auto Glass next morning (mom and pop shop in town..real honest people) and they pointed out that my driver's windshield had come away
from the seals and needed to be repaired...
said could have fallen out while I was driving.. eeek.

thankfully
they said it was only a $200.00 repair and they can do it on Tuesday.
I leave for Romulous NY for 7 days with a friend to a dog show
... . phew so glad i checked it out..

Pinched (and cut wire) on my 50 amp twist lock cord in my hydrolic levellers... so that will be $265.00 to replace or just get a short extension for now at $139.00...

I have a leak coming in a corner and RV place suggests it is
my roof of the push outs... no time to check that out before my big trip :(

Now if I can figure out why I don't have hot water... I will be golden. I can't remember where the bipass valve for winterizing is... as I wanted to check that (read on a forum to look at that).

I sure hope this learning curve cost ends soon..
I did have a great time enjoying the luxery of staying at a dog show
and so did my dogs... was a great weekend other than the repairs..
I think I'm getting the gyst of RV'ing finally ;)

Really excited about this weekend's dog show...
maybe someone with a Class A will be there to give me some tips..

Getting ready for our last camping trip for the year.....then look at winterizing. SIgh!

You take care SRT. Hope you get another mild winter while you're in the study.

We're on high ground also, but even then our lake came up 10 feet. Thank goodness the place is 12-14 feet up a hill. First time in all these years I was ever happy about that.

As far as this thread goes, just moved some paper work out to the MH that we'll be needing while on the road. Put on new tabs for the MH and toad. Fired up the furnace, water pump, hot water heater, and checked the plumbing for leaks. So far so good.

I also sent our new route from MS S&T into the Garmin GPS only to find out that my new laptop with Windows 7 doesn't have the needed Garmin USB drivers. Geezzzz, like there isn't enough to do already.

I 303'd the tires.. after I washed them of course. They look great.. I'm wondering how often they should be done. Apparently this is the right stuff to use for UV protection and moisture retention...

slept in it for a week..in a beautiful Missouri State Park......gosh I love it

Waiting and hoping for a nice "Indian Summer" as it was freezing again this morning.

What a season we had! First the floods, then the record high temps, and now this cold windy fall.

Today I'm starting to pack the Class A for the trip south for the winter. Tomorrow I'll change oil, grease, air up tires, and generally check things over.

You can always join the flock you know :) after last winters gentle temps I'm thinking this winter will even up the score in the northland.

Hopefully we'll ride that "Indian Summer" all the way down south, but I'm not counting on it.

The June flood was something else! Glad we were on high ground. The sump pump was sure working hard for a while.

You guys have fun down south. I'm in a drug study for my lungs so I kinda stuck up here for the duration (study has been going on for 6 years so far. They are bringing in more people to keep the FDA happy.). But we did spend one winter in Mesa 7 years ago. So we continue to "embrace" winter.
