- thebeach300Explorermy wife frosted the small kitchen window then i took out the metal blinds that were there they would not go up looks much better and we can open the window now.
- MrsQ2UExplorerIn our new to us MH, the area over the cab is cabinets. We thought it would make a nice entertainment center, so today I installed the Bose speakers that will provide audio for our laptops with iTunes. We just tried it out and the sound is AMAZING!. The install also looks really good, too.
Tomorrow the new LCD TV/DVD player goes in.
I finished changing the last of the hardware on the cabinets - I found much better prices online than I did in our hardware store, so I ordered all of the cup pulls for the drawers and most of the cabinet door pulls. These made a big difference and went a long way towards a custom look.
BUT my most favorite project so far is the new backsplash. The nasty plexiglass that was behind the stove area was so dirty - there are no polite words to accurately describe it. Like the toilet, I didn't even try to clean it - out it went. After hours of research, discussion, and debate, I finally settled on these nifty thermoplastic panels. We love the way it came out.
I haven't been able to add the photo, but here's a link to it:

Rick - MrsQ2UExplorerNew kitchen faucet and caulking - what a difference!
New under cabinet mount coffee pot - now it finally looks like it's ours. (we're coffee snobs, so a good thermal coffee pot and burr grinder is an essential).
I also removed the old radio. The new one should be here on Friday. I love Crutchfield - their customer service is fantastic!
I scraped and sanded the stairs to prep for painting.
Removed the old toilet and mostly installed the new one - This was the last project of the day. The water connection for the old one was vertical. The new one has the water supply entering horizontally, and my current piping won't reach, so I'll need to get an elbow tomorrow.
I ordered the new cabinet hardware (brushed aluminum drawer and cabinet pulls - all satin nickel).
And still a whole lot of cleaning. Geez! I can't get over how grubby this RV was!
On deck is installing the Maxx Aire's that arrived today, painting the steps and the carpeting them, and replacing the house water pump and adding a strainer (there was no strainer at all).
And a good time was had by all :-) - ZONEZZExplorerWASHED IT...CLEANED THE WINDOWS AND WIPED DOWN THE INTERIOR. UV PROTECTED THE TIRES AND SHINED THE WHEEL COVERS. ALSO DID THE FRONT BUMPER PLUS GRILL...NICE! then I pulled the carb on my ONAN 4000 and cleaned it so it would stop surging...checked the freq's and it's at 63-64 hz. the ONAN runs good now and yes I will pay closer attention to the "run" time each month. next week we head out to ALAMO lake for 3 days and some much needed BASS fishing. it's been awhile since I talked on here so all of you have a great day. Later, Doog
- rehoppeExplorerPulled the drain plug on the Water Heater. Almost time to get cold here, occasionally.
- thebeach300Explorerhung the new flat screen with built in dvd looks better than the old tv vcr and digtial box and all those wires,next new shocks.
- W4MBGExplorerwell, not exactly work done to the rv itself, but i have started making semi-permanent leveling ramps for parking the rv at home. the crusher-run parking pad we had installed is sloped, but not as bad as the ground under it. until i can afford a bunch more c-r i will just make ramps out of some 2x12 PT i have lying around. three layers thick in the back left and two layers thick in the front left will level it out left/right. then i just have to raise both (ok, 4) back wheels until it is level enough to run the fridge. kind of a pain, but the c-r cost as much as the rv!
- elfhearseExplorerInstalled Bilstein HD rear shocks on my 2008 4Winds 28A. They definitely reduces the leans felt when turning and cornering. (OEM where Tenneco brand?)
