- EastwacamperExplorerUsed some Simple Green carpet cleaner using the spray bottle. Along the edge where carpet meets vinyl needed doing and the strip where the slideout is slid in. Was fast to use and it came out nice. Also washed the floor. Did one trip. Getting ready to do another. A few days ago I worked hard at getting ride of bugs on the front of the motor home. I had spread wet Downy sheet all over the front. Forget to spray the Awesome Orange on the bugs. Finally remembered and it does help.
- 2doghomeExplorerCleaned the inside after a week long trip to the Texas gulf coast that included highlights such as a 6 foot black snake, several attacks by fire ants, above ankle water at most campgrounds we stayed, alligators by the side of the road and a full size pickup truck who was in front of us one moment and the next lost control and spun and spun and then came racing back towards us until he got stuck in the mud.
This was our first trip in our new to us Minnie and I was the designated driver, since my husband just had knee replacement surgery. I told my husband that I driving the rig is really the least of my worries from now on. I added fire ant killer, rain boots, anti itch creams and weapons to my must have inventory list. - pianotunaNomad IIIHi,
Corrected the installation on one Hall effect ammeter so it will read negative when battery bank is being drawn from (except for the inverter). - Navy_SmokerExplorerWashed the exterior, cleaned the interior, hung a bike rack on the back and checked all the mechanicals in preparation for our first trip with the grandsons tomorrow.
- pianotunaNomad IIIHi,
Added an auxiliary shore power cord so I can plug my water heater in directly to the Pedestal. - crawfordExplorerHey what's wrong with you can't bring it to our Smoky mountain being dirty LOL
- HandbasketExplorerThe Tiger's Onan 2800 had stalled twice after hours-long runs in hot weather. I'd heard a clicking as it died and upon trying to restart it coming thru the wall right where the fuel pumps is the last time.
So about 10 days ago, I pulled the generator out all by myself (a 2X8 ramp sure helped!), bought a fuel pump, and installed it. I'd wanted to improve the installation a bit (center it up to get it away from the bathroom wall, and improve the sound insulation) since I bought it new. It took about 8-9 days of spare time tinkering, partly because Onan Spartanburg sold me the wrong pump the first time (Aaarghh!), and partly because of the dam'd rain.
But I got it done Friday AM (ramp again!), gave it a short test run, and now I'm just waiting for a good hot day when I'm free to give it a long test run.
