What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Thanks Woodworker414 ,
Yeah the previous owner thought all you do is pay up front (purchase price ) then its suppose to look and keep clean like it was when he bought it.
He showed me the paperwork for what he paid for it in 2010?.
He paid $32K (ouch), he was asking $25K I wound up paying him $14K for it.
I just walked around it with him and showed him all the stuff he had neglected to take care of or even do normal maintenance on !
In the whole time he had it , he said he had never been on the roof and was asking me why I was climbing up on the roof when I was first looking at?
The very basics he had done , oil changes, filters etc, and on Gen as well.
He had the receipts on those. But the places took him for what they could get too !
The bones of the MH was/is in good shape, it just needed a thorough cleaning buffing/polishing wax outside , along with cleaning up all the sealant stuff that had oozed out around everything and was all crusty/black.
And the inside cleaned from top to bottom.
Carpet cleaned, new mattress for the corner bed , check and tighten up all loose screws etc on everything !
When we test drove it it had so many rattles etc , now that I've gone through and found alot of loose and or missing screws etc and tightened and replace things.
Even just by putting those small little bumpers on the inside of the cabinets has quieted alot of rattles. :)
By replacing the tires all the way around and new shocks front and rear , that alone did alot to quiet down the rattles ! lol
Its coming along nice.
I was told by a few that if you only replace the rear tail-lites /turnsignal combos with LEDs and leave the front ones alone it will work fine , but if you do both , you have to put in a resister or ? so the TS's will work ?
