- IslandshastaExplorerHad 6 Michelin LTX mounted and balanced, metal valve stems and had the newest tire on the MH put on the spare rim. Ready for the weekend and our up-coming two-week trip.
- FLBentRiderExplorerTook the RV to the shop to get the generator fixed, engine oil changed, maintenance inspection.
Generator has a bad magneto. - webproExplorerWashed and waxed as time allowed the last few day, filled up with diesel and ready to pull out Friday
- Danal_EstesExplorerUsed silver tape in the hot/cold baffle of the AC. This is a new rig and AC. Made a huge difference, just taping up some finger width cracks and such.
- rondebExplorerRan the generator for about an hour. Getting things ready to head out for about 3 months. Can't wait. Didn't get the new kitchen faucet or the faucet for filtered water at the kitchen faucet installed. Will have to do this on Tuesday.
- Rich_PanganibanExplorerWashed the coach today, 2-1/2 hours starting at sunrise! Getting ready for a 3 week trip to Seattle from Southern California.
- rondebExplorerInstalled our Counter Extension. I ordered a cutting board to the size I needed and ordered a folding down bracket from Hardwaresource.com that will hold 150 pounds.
Glued and screwed a support piece of wood to the end of the cabinet for support of the brackets. Will stain the support wood later
Hopefully tomorrow we will get the new faucet and water filter (sink faucet) installed

- BlackiceLSCExplorerI removed the 1986 model Portland microwave oven(was added after production by a wanna-be cabinet maker) and took it in to the shop to test why it wont work. Found out it does work, but the DOOR OPEN button sensor is worn out. Instead of looking for a low-watt microwave, I used a business card to hold the DOOR OPEN button in a little so the microwave comes ON.
re-installed it in Jambo, and saved $100 on a new microwave. - j-dExplorer IIMade the E450 front suspension easily greaseable. Removed plugs from ball joints and installed angled fittings. Removed straight fittings from tie rods and installed angled. Not perfect but a whole lot better than before. Needed 9/32 socket to remove plugs, 5/16 to remove straight fittings, and 3/8 end wrench for the new angled fittings. Used 90* angles on lower BJs and outer TR ends, and 45* angles on upper BJs and inner TR ends.
- woodworker414ExplorerCleaned up the mess from rebuilding the antenna, got the shop vac out and went to work. Put up a thingy to hang the cell phone on the wall, keep it out of the way. Made a stand for the solar light that will set on the ground and light up the FLAG durning the night. Checked out the sofa to see if it was still sleepable.
