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

A FlexArmor spray on roof is being installed on my 2010 Coachmen Freelander rubber sieve (an insult to real roofs to call it one) today. The rubber material also had a fabric backing which would wick water in all directions once it penetrated the roof. The only good factor was the composition of very thin luan & styrofoam sandwidge allowed water to travel and do less damage. I only had one small soft spot, which was easily repaired.

The efforts to use lighter and lighter construction methods to build class C's makes them more subject to flexing at critical seams in the earthquake they get every day on the road. Butt joints at the roof edge instead of continuing the roof over the sides and creating the seam there is a bankrupt design coupled with lightweight construction. My old 1965 pickup camper never leaked, even after being shipped on an open deck to Europe and back - but it was framed with 2x2's and didn't flex.

Never having to get on the roof again: priceless!

Finally finished coating the rubber roof with truck bed liner. Pristine while over everything. I even tried to make a cut with a razor blade on a test piece, it was almost impossible!!!

Paid off one loan yesterday..still have the big loan but that's not bad. Last time I deal with US Bank. Probably give it a bath today.

Un-packed it after our trip to the Keys and gave it a good bath.

Usually when doing any oil changes I loosen the filter slightly and let it run into a pan. Once it stops dripping it's easier to handle the filter and it's remaining contents.

Thanks for the tip.
I will try that if I ever do a oil change on generator again. My plans for this years winter trip are to stop at a Speedco and get MH engine oil and lube job done. Next year I will add generator to the list of things to get done there.

Today we unpacked all the "stuff" from the MH and brought it all back into the house. In addition we winterized it so we are ready for winter.

Gained access to the bedroom slider by removing mattress and lifting plywood hatch . I cleaned and lubed rails and screw that powers the slider. it jammed on last trip. Removed and replaced loose

pop rivets holding the bracket plate on my awning.Removed mounting bracket and added some lock rite and new sealer to piece. Used silicone spray along outside of coach where the over head

fairing meets the roof of the truck. Annoying squeak at 60 MPH and above. Anxious to see if that cures it.

Changed oil and filter in generator. Need to figure out how to remove oil filter without getting dirty diesel oil running down my arm.:S I actually did this yesterday afternoon.

Flushed the coolant and refilled with water wetter and 50/50.
