- sundancer268ExplorerStarted removing the silicone from the reefer vent to get ready for paint. This will be a pain in the A. I tried the angle grinder with a wire brush and that is to harsh. Removes the caulk and causes some deep scratches. Wife suggested the Dremal detail sander cutter. Good Idea, I forgot about it, so I will try it tomorrow night after work. The S&B satellite receiver died today so I will not have that distraction to hinder my project.

Chassis or house batteries? Many rigs don't charge the chassis batteries from shore power or generator--only from the engine alternator. We took care of that with a Xantrex Echo Charger . Now they even charge from solar.
IF it's the house batteries, there must be a draw there somewhere. - Livingthedream1ExplorerDe-winterized and in 1-2 weeks full timing it! Newbies! Wish us luck!!!!
- BigRabbitManExplorerI finished the installation of my replacement stove and oven. Gas is gone and electric is in. It can be seen in this photo album on webshots.

- slickest1ExplorerTwo new windshields. Ouch! Thank god for Insurance.
- ctpresExplorerHardwired Battery Minder Plus to chassis battery and 110ac. Should never have low chassis battery again. It is charging on the road, on shore power or generator.
- adrianlExplorerRemoved the passenger window that had a small leak. Leak was manageable but the water pooling in the base channel was making me too nervous. Packaged it up and sent to Oregon to have it taken apart and reassembled with new seals by the Hehr service rep. Should get it back next week and will reinstall. Meanwhile, there's a big hole in the side of my RV with plastic/tarps to protect against anything that may fall in the next 7-10 days.
