What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?
I see the other types of RV's having this type of thread. I did a search and could not find one here. :) Yesterday, I drove mine to work to "excercise" it. I have driven it to work twice in the ...

What I did to my Class B this spring:
Removed dinette/bed seats temporarily to soon replace vinyl and carpet. Cleaned wall area that now had easy access. Removed old room divider and sewed and installed new one made out of light sage Sears drape with blockout backing. Have 3 more curtains for remaining windows - all old curtains have been removed and will be used as patterns.
Removed and painted (yellow) medicine cabinet in wet bath. Still need to reinstall. Decorated inside with vinyl shopping bag in bright patterns glued and peaking out from the bright yellow (something to wake me up in the a.m. LOL).
Removed old dirty insulation and carpet that had been in bed area. Bought large insulation roll (Reflux? forgot name - silver stuff R7 I think) and a huge roll of sage upholstery material. Will use duck tape, material tapes and glues, etc. to improve insulation and create a cleaner environment.
Put $2k into a new transmission mount and some engine work. Two thumbs up from the mechanic who told test drove it for days through the Colorado mountains. He said he believed the transmission had been previously rebuilt so I went home and looked through the old papers from the previous Oregon owner and sure enough, 2004. Now the mount is new as well.
Put in a new Optima house battery. Had a new Fantastic Vent Fan installed.
Scraped some of the old brown stripes off. Will not have painted but will do some touch up myself. Maybe I'll do some murals on it one day.
Removed old rough stripe down length of aluminum runners and will clean up runners and put new stripe (rough sandpaper strips) down.
Bought new water intake hookup.
Got refrigerator checked. $250 to remove it, $1300 to replace it. I left it because we might sell it and there are so many choices to make the new owner should make it and not pay for my choice. If we do keep it we will remove it because we want to put an icebox there.
Since end of spring it has rained nearly every day and I haven't been able to work on it since. Right now I'm organizing all the parts I've got to finish it. I've had two people inquire about my selling it and one I never answered and the other I told him $16k and he is still interested. That said, I love my camper and it is my everyday car. BUT, we also bought an Xterra and plan to get a light weight trailer so and take off across the US so at some point the camper has to go. Just when probably depends on when we find a trailer - so far we don't like anything well enough to give up the camper.
Currently I have an ongoing conversation with self trying to make up my mind LOL.
