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

Was picking up some gear in the MH at the storage lot and found some mouse poop in the drawers...ugh!!! Laid down some traps and sticky pads. We'll see.

Picked up some tubular keyed locks for the outside compartments to replace the ubiquitous 751 keyed locks. Now just have to install them.

GGGGEEEEZZZZ Hot and Humid here in the mid-country, oh well fall and winter are on their way. Right?
Replace the shock on the steering, the other just felt soft like it was not working right, the new one made a differencd, Patch a hole in the roof where a limb out of the neighbors tree fell and poked about a 1" hole trough the roof, I got lucky went up to the roof to clean it and found the hole before the next storm came through, also got lucky the branch hit right behind the sky light over the shower. Yep lucky!!! That big old tree maybe 70-80' tall, huge canopy, will be coming down in the next couple of weeks says the neighbor, some bad stuff up high and some rot at the base, there is a huge branch tore out by a recent storm that did not make it to the ground, hung up in the tree, good thing beccause it would have got the car or the C, maybe my garage also. Will miss the shade that this tree provides, now the C will sit in the sun most of the day, but won't have to deal with sap anymore and the C should stay cleaner.

I believe I would rather have mine in the Sun than put up with the Sap, I know I parked mine at my brothers house for 3 day's It was not tree sap but the brown spots was really bad on the roof, It washed right off but Looked real bad, I don't know maybe after sitting a long time it might have been harder to get off, Mine is in full sun light all the time also.

A tree limb on the roof may be a good reason to ask insurance to replace the rubber.

put 4 inflatable bladders (4' x 4' each) on top of the rv. then a tarp over the whole thing, tied down, to help protect the plastic stuff on the roof from small/medium branches. not trying to protect it from trees, just the small stuff.

Changed oil, filter and topped off fluids. Greased it and checked rearend oil. Checked the brake shoes and front pads. Now we are ready for our next trip in a couple weeks.

Found a rattle that has been bugging me. It was the ground wire to the propane tank. Not sure how long it was unhooked.

rv loaded up leaving for safer ground dam irene hope i have a home when i get back i am four milws from delaware beaches.

Checked all the fluids, charged house batts, tire pressure, ran genny for 2 hours and generally stood back and admired what a good looking RV it really is after 7 years. Of course, keeping it in a garage helps too.

Nice work on the door, Makes me think I might need to check mine, I would hate to have a all new RV with a bad door.

I think what got our door is 30 years of rain splashing on the bottom of the door, I think the seal failed around the window since the rot was far worse below the window than above it. The screws in the lower door were so rusted I didn't even need tools to remove some of them, the ones above the window still looked new.

I know the door frame is rotted the bottom of our door frame has seperate from the rest of the frame and I can feel it being spongy. We also need to rebuild the overhead cab, and I can see a spot in the ceiling near the back vent that is all lumpy from being wet for a long time.

We have eternabonded all the vents and seams and resealed all the windows, so I'm hoping we have stopped the leaks....I'm kind of dreading poking into the structure of the thing since I know it'll turn into a big project really fast....
