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

First trip is next week. Oil change and lube, Un-winterize the water system, bath, and reload for the season.

Started getting it ready for the summer. Discovered a connector on the cord to the toad was damaged so replaced the connector. Started collecting the stuff to put back in for camping.

What happens when you don't properly prepare a surface. Although in my defense nothing seems to stick to the roof! I'm starting to wonder if it was coated with something at one time.



In the process of this manage to cut a hole in the roof, several wire brush holes etc. After I got off as much as I could took some mineral spirits to it. Put the rest of eternabond I had back on it. Seem to stick good this time couldn't peal it up anyways.

At this point the roof is ruined. No big damage on the inside yet. It's becoming the bane of my existence.. maybe the parking pawl will fail someday on a really steep hill.

Installing air pump system for towd brakes. found large open space in front of battery box and built a bracket to hold pump and air storage tank. looking good.

next challenge is to install air portioner valve on coach that supplies air for air force one brake system on crv TOWD.

routing air tubbing around slides and missing all hot surfaces grate fun for this old 79 year old body. but hope to be finished in a couple of days. crawling around under Motorhomes meant for younger bodies.......!!!!!!!

electrical wiring pretty straight forward. If I can figure out where to tie into ignition system.

Pulled cover off, and looks pretty good after setting all winter. Replace the coach batteries they were five years old and not keeping up with the demands any more.

Sanitized water tank and system, cleaned water heater tank, and tested LP system for leaks with manometer. Next weekend a bath and chassis services.

First trip is to Lava Lake Oregon with my son May 14 for five days of fishing and relaxing.

Replaced almost all interior lights with LEDs. On one puck light on the ceiling I could not get the cover lens removed so I still have one incandescent light.

I had one like that, not sure the same as yours, that I could not budge. I pulled down on the fixture, watch out for the spring loaded clips that hold it in place, and was able to get a better grip on the cover. You can also buy the whole LED fixture fairly cheap.

In my case you have to remove the cover/lens to get to the led bracket. Not sure if I can just pull down on the cover/lens to remove the whole fixture. Guess I can remove the cover on a different fixture to see how it is attached to the ceiling.

Let's see - wireless eBay backup camera wired up and working; fished wires for an additional voltmeter for house battery.

Pulled down the bathroom door (OMG, what a chore) to yank off wrinkled faux Oak contact paper. Found nylon screw replacements for bottom of the door. Arguing w/ DW whether to slap on new faux Oak contact paper or if she'll let me use some of my real QS Oak veneer. :)

Fashioned a furnace filter for the inlet. (Note, this was a DW request. I'm not sure just how pragmatic the filter will be).

Removed some peeling logos. Removed the "1.800.GO.FREEDOM" advertisement from the back.


Whew - busy day.

Hey Woodworker. 99% of the time, when blinkers go fast, there is a bulb out. ---- what are TL's_____

I want to replace all my bulbs with LED bulbs also Now to find them that are not junk. My MH is a 95 and in mint shape kept inside the garage when not in use. Just put all new tires and exhaust front to rear. It a diesel no converter to fool with. Its very good on fuel around 14 most of the time.

Bob - In my Greyhawk 29KS, even that outlet was disabled while the engine was cranked. Useless.

Huumm, guess I never tried to turn the tv on while the engine was running. I have had to run the engine when the coach battery was low. Needed the engine running in order to start the genset.

My son wanted to watch TV sometimes when we were driving, but it would disable the outlet. That meant we had NO 120v outlets if we were driving, which is why I said it was useless.

I installed a separate inverter wired to underneath the dinette so we could charge computers or plug in his TV while driving.
