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.

We are headed out on our {4th}, annual northern California adventure on Monday {we like to depart on Labor day as everyone else is headed home}. Plan on being gone about a month and doing around 2,500 miles. Will visit friends in Nevada City/Grass Valley, relatives down the road in Penn Valley and attend my best friends daughters wedding out near Pt Reyes before heading back down the California coast.
Took the Nexus down the road to the local Jiffy Lube this morning and had them change the oil {7,000 miles and 10 months since the last change}, I always use pure synthetic and had them replace the original differential fluid {36,000 miles on the coach}, again with pure synthetic. Also had them drain, flush and replace the coolant. Five years of mostly southwest cruising takes its toll on coolant. Aired up the fronts to 60 and the rears to 65 and was good to go.
Using a couple of coupons and showing up early I was the first and only customer. With three guys working while I watched {supervised?}, they got it all done in about 40 minutes and was out the door for $265.
On the ride home I stopped at O'Reilly's auto parts and put in a new engine battery for the V-10. The old one at 5 years was the original and it was definitely time to replace. They had the original Motor Craft as a replacement for $156 with a nice long warranty {I replaced the two group 27 house batteries, also 5 years old last month}.
Can't wait to get back out on the open road for a good long trip. We plan on heading up through Flagstaff continuing on up to Jacob Lake for our first stop. Day two will find us west and north bound up into Utah where we will pick up "The loneliest road in America", highway 50, to cross Nevada. Day three will see us through Reno and up over the Donner Pass dropping down into Nevada City/Grass Valley where the fun really begins...
