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

got rid of those 6 hard as rocks Goodyear tires and had Michelins installed plus a spare. Driving to shop was a handful but driving back was a dream. The Goodyears had only 2400 miles on them. The Michelins ride was oh so smooth. The goodyears are up for sale as spare tire.

Picked up the car hauler from our vendor. We bought a 18" dove tail with a fitted air dam up front and a electric jack (atwood).
5 radial tires. Pull out ramps for easy loading with tie down eyes. Brand is big tex. Solid metal floor.

Installed the RVCAMS color "back-up" camera and 5.6" LCD monitor.... Thanks to Winnebago for having the wiring pre-installed at the factory :)

opened up my airtab package and my front sway bar from rm for installation tomorrow

Been shopping the past few weeks for kitchen essentials and washing them up and piling in a couple totes. Last night I turned on the heat and turned on American Idol and spent a couple hours organizing the kitchen with all my new items. Purchased Melamine plates and bowls, plastic glasses, ceramic coffee mugs, coffee maker, place mats, silverware, small cookie sheet for the itty, bitty oven, lots of utensils/silverware and kitchen towels.
Put new mattress pad and sheets on the queen bed.
Still need to get a few pots & pans. Towels for the bathroom, bath mat.
It is amazing how much you need to get!
We are trying to go light and with a minimum amount of stuff. Want to keep it simple, and more importantly keep it LIGHT.

It was very pleasurable couple hours and is really starting to feel ...like home. We have made several day trips in it. Hoping to spend a weekend in it sometime end of April/early May. Going to Florida last week in May.

Added a 12V air compressor, regulator, moisture trap, and enough hose based plumbing to have an quick connect outlet on both sides, about midway between fore/aft tires.

This allows me to air the MH itself, or a bike, or whatever.



At the same time, did the annual sanitize of the water system.

Took out the batteries and repainted the compartment, replaced hardware, holdowns etc. May have to replace the batteries too - boy were they dry!

Checked the batteries and the tires and getting anxious to git it out of storage and go camping.

Made an appointment to have an awning installed.

I installed an alarm to tell me when I leave the lights on. Ford has one that will chime when the driver's door is opened, but since I usually go to the back and may not even exit, I needed one that would alarm when I shut the engine off.

Rotated the spare tire to the right front as the right front is showing more cracks in the side walls near the rim than I like. All 7 tires are dated around the 23 week of of 2005(2305). Spare look like it was never on the ground.

I hope I never have to change out a tire on the road, Just getting the spare tire out from the storage rack under the rear and back in place is a real PITA. Doing a tire change on a busy interstate road is no fun, I thought it was bad on my old Travel Trailer but that was easy compared to this one.

Glad I have road service, just hope I never have to use it.

We had a blowout on HWY 10 in New Mexico - what a nightmare. I called our road service thru our insurance. After explaining for over 15 minutes where we were - he did not understand what a mile marker was and wanted to know what off ramp we were near - tried to explain - no off ramp in sight - just the mile marker. He claimed to call a tow truck.

We waited for an hour - figured we were out in the middle of nowhere, it would take some time to get there. After the hour, I called the road service back - they had no record of my first call :M So I again explained where we were (in the meantime, DH and kids are already changing out the tire!).

By the time the tow truck got there, DH and kids had finished changing the tire and we had him check the tire pressure to make sure that the spare was road worthy. tow truck guy was really cool - don't blame him - he got the call at 10:30 and was there by 11:00.

boy, when we got home did the road service get a nasty phone call from DH!!
