Well, Lets see,, I replaced the 30 amp plug (3 prong) on the cord, after 3 tries and breaking 2 new plugs, tightening it down.. finally found a different set up at ace hardware (long time since being in an ace hardware, forgot they have EVERYTHING) lol
then on to getting tired of looking at the roofing matering hanging down so ripped it all down,, guess maybe some sort of carpeting? or just paint? its like masonite under that material..
tried to finish with the sink/new faucet job,, broke the connection, so thats on the todo list..
Guess I should mention, this is a 1984 chevy cutaway, with about 80k on it,, tires are cracked, and not sure what Im going to do yet with it,, new tires I know, but 8x16.5 isnt a regular size,, and dont know the new size yet,, nor if I have to buy new rims for it.
A/c doesnt work, but was told it did. so maybe Im not doing something right (first Rv),, generator works, but dies when I try to run the a/c. Not sure if its water damage on the inside, but guess it could be humidity problem from sitting for a long time,, runs good, cept the fuel filter keeps getting clogged (I think),, Just bought this thing for 2500, last October, and I was hospitalized between November and January off and on,, and finally got it to town a few weeks ago,, Belts were loose, so battery didnt charge, tightened them today, but forgot my jump starter so no charge,,, its not really a bad B, for the money, nor for a first RV starter for us..but still, Couldnt help but name it "The Money Pit"
Looking forward to our first trip, after Nana gets well enough after her knee replacement surgery 2 weeks ago.. If I think of it, will post some pics,, sure wish I knew someone near handy with things,, cant do a whole lot.,. If Id known I was gonna live this long, Id have taken better care of myself,, LOL
Happy Traveling
