What did you do to your Class C MH today???

Due to unemployment the rig was in storage for over a year. I spent the last two days. Eternabonding all of the holes in the roof. Repairing some water damage from not doing the above.
Installed a new coach battery.
Replaced shower controls. Old ones froze and cracked.
Installed a rinse hose in the toilet supply line.
Washed off 13 months of dirt.
I still have much to do but this was a good day.

Did a lot to our older rig this past week - with the help of East-Court Ford in Toronto - they have a 50 ton hoist and a shop big enough to easily service our trusty RV:

1 - Chassis Lube & Engine Oil change (Shell Rotella T)
2 - Transmission Service & Filter
3 - Cooling System Flush
4 - Brake Fluid Flush
5 - Rear Diff Service
6 - New front pads and resurface rotors
7 - Repack Front Bearings
8 - Left-Front Radius Arm Bushing (worn)
9 - Replaced front coil springs (sagging)
10- Replaced all 4 shocks
11- Replaced tire valves on rear axle with a kit from www.duallyvalve.com
12- Rear Brake Service
13- new wipers

Only three jobs left before we leave for our trip to California in June:

1 - Genset oil change, which I'll do myself
2 - Install a new front hitch from draw-tite for the bike rack
3 - fix my low voltage problem with my trailer light plug on the rear of the RV. My toad lights are terribly dim owing to the low voltage problem that no-one can seem to fix - not Ford, and not the local hitch installer (www.HitchCity.com)...


Hopefully given all this maintenance, our ten-year-old rig will give us another reliable trip this summer!

Would be more confidant of taking a long trip in a older RV that has the maintenance done that you are doing than a lot of newer units that have not been kept up.

This past week: cut a 3" foam topper to fit RV queen and placed it on bed along with new blanket and quilt. (Mattress was new RV short queen w/out Euro top and a bit too firm.) Hung matching mirrors on opposite sides of bed, removed ugly, non-matching, art print (left by previous owners) from bedroom wall, painted frame "stainless steel" to match hardware in coach - replacing picture with matching, more modern art. Installed new digital thermostat. (We modified a Hunter programmable, with Indiglo illuminator, to enable turning A/C from low to high by adding a tiny toggle switch. DH did a great soldering job!) The temperature is much more constant and comfortable now. Installed a retractable clothesline (like the ones in expensive hotel bathrooms) in the bathroom shower area. Installed an accessory shelf for the electronics remotes next to sofa. Mounted fan remotes in convenient locations in both LR and Bedroom for easy access. (Had Shurflo Platinum fans installed last summer and LOVE THEM!)

BRAKE JOB... new calipers and brake lines in front, turned drums and rotors, new rear wheel cylinders, rear seals, packed all bearings. $652.
not bad i think, half was for labor. Being that it was old, rusty and everything being so heavy, i say its WELL worth it.

Added another TV input so we can use the portable satellite dish and campground cable if available. Now we can each watch what we want.

Packed some food in the fridge for the long weekend coming up starting Thursday, can't wait.Wish it was longer, but it's all I can do for now.

dropped her off for a BRAKE JOB..... she had the left front caliper try to lock up and left me stranded on the road side... took a 3 mile walk back to town, got my PB-Blaster and hosed the culprit down and whacked it good with a hammer and got her home... now she's getting professional help.
=)

Just washed the rig today. Hope I can get to it tomorrow and wax it.

Yes, eternabonding is a verb. Judging from how often I do it, eternabonding must be my favorite recreational activity.:R

Is that because you are applying it a little at a time or you've applied in on multiple rigs?
