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

New bathroom faucet installed today. Fits pretty well.

New Scan Gauge II installed--still figuring it out.

Fiddled more with the new Turnigy and Power II meters. Turnigy seems to be working, but only getting battery charge on the other. Generator is on here so no watts are being used.

Also attached a 200 amp catastrophic fuse to the second battery bank.

Camping over the 4th, can't wait.

Killed my "Kill-A-Watt" Meter today.....
:(
*I was going thru a list I made of all the 120 volt items I have in the MH and was testing different combinations of items, to get a good idea of "do's and dont's" for when camping w/o any hook-ups.
Running the Heat function of the rooftop air and the water tank heater element, along with my boy playing video games= oops!!!
(by the time I walked back into the garage to check the total wattage and amperage on the meter...I heard it beeping and then...nothing..blank screen/done/dead/power lost to MH power cord)
**Time to pull apart the "kill-A-Watt" and see if its repairable.
-I am amused that the Coleman Rooftop 13,500 a/c on high draws only 1580 watts/13.45 amps. The heat function of the unit draws 1820 watts/15.30 amps.(It does quite well at warming the MH up though, so I won't complain too much)

Yanked out the old TV's and took them to the recycler. Took some measurements so I can fabricate a panel to cover the big hole in front which will serve as a base to mount a flat screen on it. Don't know what I will do for a replacement for the 13" TV which sat inside a corner cabinet in the bedroom. Would like to keep the cabinet but I can't find a new TV small enough to fit inside it.
Oh well, keep on looking I guess.

I SCORED a perfect working condition Coleman Mach 6000 series A/C unit with heat pump from a local guy that buys auction/accident vehicles.
My unit came from a Fleetwood class A MH.(This MH had an engine fire that took out the entire rear end of the MH)

Fifty Bux!!!!!:W

*I pulled the unit and some other goodies from the Fleetwood and brought it home to clean it up, give it a test before installing. Worked great.

**This evening, I mounted it up and completed the install. Man, I am soooo happy. Now I just need to get the exact model number of this darned thing so I can order a new interior plastic trim and knobs for it. (The model number is barely visible and all I can make out is model# 6799) Looking online I can see that my unit "looks" just like 6799-806...I just don't know what to do to be sure. I have no idea what BTU this unit is, but I assume it is a 13,500 because of what I have seen it do for me so far and what I have seen of the performance to other name brand 13,500 btu units.
Yee-Haw!!

Got the transmission oil and filter changed last week. Rig only has 24000 miles but is 11 years old. I found nothing intresting.

Picked up two used Group 24 Gel batterys from a friend that sells and repairs electric wheel chairs. Got two near new ones free. I then wired my rig for the two batterys instead of the one.

My wife made up a new velcro up curtian to cover the driving area. We have an out side cover, inside cover to reflect the sun but use the inside velcro up curtian for quick changes ect. We made this one go around the seats to the out side so we can put our clothes on the seat when we change.

Started packing for our trip to Oregon John Day country next week. For the first time from when we got the rig last fall we feel its really ready to go.

Wired dash radio to operate from coach battery.before had to turn on key to listen to radio, and the step would retract.rather annoying.also did battle with dish network (see post in technology section.)

Yesterday I...
-Prepped and painted the rear poop tube bumper.
-Repaired,prepped and painted my ladder and roof cargo rack.
-Gave the 12"x12" pressure treated feet for my leveling jacks a good shot of undercoating.
-Lastly, I wired in a new 4 pin trailer harness.

*All I have left to do is to be very much finished with my restoration:
-Buy the parts needed to splice into the high pressure side of my propane system for the aux. feed for our small outdoor cooking accessories.(small portable grill and small two burner cook top)
-Build a securing system for the (6) 6 volt GC batteries I have located in the rear storage.
-Make curtains for the windows in the MH
-Get inspection(and have them check the air in the inner rear tires)

couldnt find an old dvd player lying around the house that still worked properly, so i splurged on a new blu-ray player that will end up in the stick house bedroom when not in the rv. its a vizio, with netflix, pandora, hulu, etc built in.
