- cal47ExplorerRewired 4 additional outlets in the MH where the would be of better use.

Trust me you'll be very happy with the Rickson wheels and tires, for both safety and ride quality. - RipsnortExplorer

Looked out the back window in a dream of warmer weather. Lots of snow still on ground so next trip is without the MH. Heading to Hawaii in two weeks. However, it feels like cheating on her when we leave her behind! Big trip and big dreams for the summer months....(Dreaming) Have to get the MH in for repairs of a mega chug hole on I-70 in Indiana in December!
What Island you going to? We spent 3 weeks @ North Shore, Oahu Hawaii last year spread out over two trips. I want to go back this year but a family reunion and two big fishing trips may cancel out Hawaii this year. - Ashley11ExplorerLooked out the back window in a dream of warmer weather.

- nightowl_94536ExplorerJust installed a 12" memory foam mattress from Costco to replace the stock Fleetwood oem uncomfortable queen. Yes, it overhangs the bunk a few inches but it's REAL comfortable and the sheets fit. Most important thing is my wife loves it. Next upgrade is 17.5" Rickson wheels and load range G Toyo tires.

Is that Lucky Peak in your signature pic, Bericus? Or perhaps Andersen Reservoir?
MrTravelDecal, Your 2nd guess is the correct one. Anderson Ranch Reservoir with the South Fork Boise River below and South(passenger) of my rv. Great times there too at least twice a year there.
Happy Camping, Robert - MrTravelDecalExplorerAlways busy on my MH it seems. The other day I replaced the fuel filter and passenger Velvac mirror with parts purchased from ryderfleetproducts.com.
Scrubbed the filthy roof down in an early morning rainstorm a couple weeks ago. Installed a RV360 roof vent afterwards as well as 4 extended rain gutter spouts from Camco (wished I had done that long ago). I have been applying Dicor caulk to different spots here and there.
Yesterday I installed a 6ft window awning that I built from a 7.5 ft awning tube and a salvaged (but brand new) patio awning. I cut down the used awning tube then out of a patio awning I cut (and then sewed) out an awning panel out of the center of the vinyl fabric where the main panel met the white weather guard portion. Then I created a scallop pattern for the valance out of a piece of paper, added some 3/4 inch lightweight webbing/piping to the edge for a finished look. Shortened a patio awning pulldown strap to work for the window awning. Installed the awning rail with butyl tape, stainless screws and a bead of Dicor caulk on the top edge. A friend gave me the new Carefree arms and springs and VIOLA' new window awning! total investment $30 ($20 for the new/salvaged fabric, $5 aluminum awning rail, $5 stainless screws)
Next is a TuffMaxx air conditioner cover to replace the fragile old Coleman cover - MrTravelDecalExplorerIs that Lucky Peak in your signature pic, Bericus? Or perhaps Andersen Reservoir?
- BerticusExplorerJust got back from a Fishing/atv trip. Did not put any water in it yet and noticed one of my battery banks running low. Might be time to replace that bank(2 10yr old AGM's). Other then the bad fishing everthing else was great, Crappie/Chip feed(last of 09'), Family, friends, drinks and fun.
Weekend of the 13th going up again but with wife and water. Should be great.
Laters, Robert - RipsnortExplorerTook the MH out to a Lacrosse pre-season tournament for the oldest kid. The games started at 8am and finished at 5pm. Alot of down time between games. I purchased a 1000 watt inverter from Lowe's and hooked it up two my two coach batteries. We watched movies and kid's played Xbox during the down time between games. Then washed her up on Sunday and put her away for 5 more weeks. Next trip is in April...a 4 day fishing trip to Banks Lake.
