My husband took OTRA* in for her first oil change. Then he ran the generator to exercise it. He is gonna have to wash it before we leave on our trip at the end of the week. I'm gonna have to do some packing and housekeeping, too.
*OTRA is what we named our 2011 Coachman Freelander 21QB. It stands for "On The Road Again".
Wash it before the trip???? Our motorhome gets washed only after the trip. Guess we love it like our Subaru..
I installed new border in the kitchen and bathroom a week or so back. Installed a new high rise Faucet so our PUR water filter had a bit more clearance we use the same filter in both the house and RV so just move it back and forth. Our old faucet had a very small leak. Found it was a crack in the faucet between the outlet and hot water valve. Must have had some water left in it at some point in time or was that way from when it was made.
Made a complete inspection and found every thing in good shape. We use ours often for day trips so get a few miles on it. Most are in the high country so brakes ect need to be watched.
We are down to just trying to choose a color for the new carpet. We will both be very happy to see that old green carpet go. We are looking for a dark tan or light brown.
We have been working on it kind of steady for near a year now. It is parked on the cement area out side the shop and living room window so always just out the door to work or putter on. I am happy to say its looking very good and we love it far more than we ever thought we would. We spent a lot of time and money to find one we like. And after a number of trips where we had to spend a lot of time inside because of weather,(Oregon coast to watch the storms come in and high country snow) we can say we love it.
