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

Just drove the MH 1200 miles, in two days, from Southern California to Seattle, Washington. Will be here for about 7 days + 3 days in Vancouver, Canada. We'll take 10 days to make our way back, stopping to see all the sights: Crater lake, Bend, Columbia River, Cannon Beach, Redwood forest, San Francisco, Monterey and maybe a few more along the way!

Washed and Wax her yesterday. What a PITA!

Charged up the starter batteries and left them on a float charge during the wash and wax.

Drained the fresh water tank, added some bleach and filled her 2/3 full. Will drain and re-fill before next trip with softened and filtered h2o.

We gave the MH a Bath today.

and the Sprinter, FWIW.

Putting on new license plates today. Not very exciting stuff...

Installed LED tail-lights. Installed new bathroom faucet with tall, swiveling spout. Installed several 12V and 110V outlets. Mounted Wilson cell antenna on TV antenna mast. Replaced TV with a new digital Audiovox. Put a cat door in the front of one of the dinette seats. Pix of these and other projects on my web site (see signature below). Have fun!

the make of the unit is a coachman santara but thats beside the fact its a 1994 yr but thats beside the fact,,If you live in a high humidity area or near the coast it is still a factor reguardless the year,,granted a newer unit shld not have the problem as extensive as mine but be as it may I wld check just to be safe...The erosion was so bad on mine I could stick a nail thru the alum. line..but only where the brass covered the line the rest of the line was ok I think the best thing to do is just go ahead and replace the alum. with copper....the alum. line could and eventually will lead to a fire in the refer.housing...if you can get the alum. line off in one piece take it to a home improv.cnt or to you local hardware and they can match it fo you if you dont have a flareing tool and thats something a lot of ppl dont have laying around. if you lived in Pensacola fl. just bring it over and we would do it here and while we were at it we wld just pressure the coach for rain leaks...I have my own machine to do it at my house,,,

Put 1/4 tank of fresh water in it, & filled it with gas, for the trip to gettysburg, Sunday, hooked up the Dolly.

well as I stated in my last post I done the maint. work on the norcold fridge today. When I started the burner it made a terrible noise and was not burning rite ,sooooo It had to come off when I tried to remove the fittings on the vlv. I found some thing very disturbing and dangerous,,,when I tried to remove the alum, supply line to the burner from the gauge I descovered that it was frozen and would not turn on the alum. line so I had to break it to remove it after I removed it I took the brass fitting off the alum. line to place it on a new line and I descovered that where the brass nut had the alum. line covered there was a spot of corrosion on the line that almost eaten thru the alum. line to where it wld start leaking ..I guess the brass and alum arent compatible with each other,,,I replaced the burner and orfice and I installed a new 1/4 inch COPPER line. I had to flair the fittings but it made a good seal and no leaks...I would recomed that if you havent done so to check the alum lin for this corrosion..better to be safe than a burned up m/h... THE BURNER COST ME 45.00 AT THE LOCAL DEALER...

How old is yor unit? What make and model? wondering if it is a certain mfr or all units?
