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

Got my new Bilstein shocks installed. I ordered them online from Shock Warehouse and got the heavy duty set for $396 (no tax or freight), delivered from Florida to Tucson {Fed EX}, in 5 days.

I took the coach down to Southwest Truck Service here in Tucson and had them do the install. Glad I did as watching them struggle to get them installed convinced me it was nothing I could have ever attempted. It took most of 3 hours for one guy and he had help for the last hour. Was charged $89 an hour for 3 hours and had no problem with that ($267).

The 40 mile ride home gave me a pretty good road test though the coach was was running fairly light. The ride and handling have always been good but after 32,000 miles the OEM's were getting a little tired and you could feel the ride getting harsher, especially when we were loaded heavy and towing the motorcycle.

Bilstein/Shock Warehouse both recommended going with the heavier duty models since we run near GVWR and often tow a 1,000# bike and trailer and I am glad I did. I think when we load out the improvement will be even more dramatic.

I'll know on Monday as we are leaving for a 3,000 mile run up to northern California, across Nevada and through the canyon parks of Utah.

I listed my Itasca 31C on Craigslist (on Sun night actually). I got three texts from one guy interested in it. I got the third text a couple of hours ago. That was the one where he is going to send his "agent" who will pick up "the goods" once the payment "as" been made and cleared. He also hopes I have a Pay Pal account for the transaction. :R

I also have another guy offering cash (he's offering about $6,000 less than what I'm asking). I haven't figured out if he's another scammer or not yet.

Scam, heard it a hundred times selling vehicles. They manipulate the paypal system. Ignore those people, no one buys vehicles using paypal.

The first guy, definitely a scam, the second guy, probably a scam.:B Haven't heard anything from him in a couple of days, but that's fine.

I was referring only to the craigslist offer. Lowballers are on CL all the time. I found success in selling and buying on RV trader. I live in Ca. and the coach was in Minnesota.

Took cover off motorhome. Time to get on the road and enjoy some camping.

researched my "check antenna" warning for XM radio and found a suspect connection behind the radio,easy access after removing engine cover.

Removed front engine battery and removed washer fluid reservoir to repair cut tubing that was draining the reservoir. Used heat shrink for the repair.

Replaced house batteries with trojan 125's 6 volt.

Waiting for my friend to call who is going to install my new KONI shocks. I would do it but wife disagrees.

Restocked my spare parts locker, the filters I had ordered came in. I now have spare fuel, air and oil filters and have recently changed out all three. Had the oil changed on the coach (pure synthetic), and had them top up all of my tires - 65 in front and 70 in the rears. Added two new Maxxis' to the utility/motorcycle trailer I tow. in addition I now also have two new spares to back up the Maxis'.

(Later that day...) Just finished adding an other mount for my second spare in the right rear corner of the trailer. The first spare mounts in the triangle space forward of the trailers interior.

We depart next week for a 3 week trip, first to northern California then across Nevada on highway 50 to Utah followed by a week to 10 days exploring the canyon parks. Hopefully the temps and fires will be laying down.

A new set of Bilsteins is in route and should be delivered tomorrow and then it is down to SW Truck Service to have them installed. At that point I think it will be time to load and get the hell out of Dodge (Tucson).

Hooked the fridge (300w) up the 400/800W inverter to see if it would run. It did run without being overloaded. It did knock down the DC voltage from the battery/converter from 14.1 to 13.6..typically there's 14.1 if it's running full bore. Debating if I want to put a single throw double pole switch and switch it over to the inverter while driving down the road. Looks it run 4.5hrs full bore through the battery just setting.. of course driving and plugged in wouldn't be issue. Save a little on propane although a tank usually last a year the way it is. Less chance of a fire possibly. Decisions decisions..

Careful... You might be searching for a solution for which there is no known problem (the government does this a lot).

Just kidding, frankly I like the idea of the separate double pole switch.

I lol a bit.. so true! Haven't did this yet. Also adding hooking my front radio up to the tv antenna. The reception is terrible with the metal covering around the house part. Now I have to figure that out.. and actually do it.

Old and busted..


New hotness..


Was so tired of messing with that flapper. Trust me when I say the old one did not want to come off!
