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

Replaced the little plastic "catch" in the pleated door leading to the bedroom. It went easily, but I don't know what I'd have to do to replace the one that serves as shower door/curtain. It's mounted in an aluminum track at the top and runs in a plastic channel at the bottom. For the one today, all I had to do was take a few screws out of the plastic upper track and drop the end out of it. Then I slid the end down the hall till it separated from the fabric.

We added a second "catch" to ours to hold it closed while driving. Velcro with adhesive tape :B works great

I worked with our handyman yesterday to:

- Remove the massive propane tank that the previous owner installed under the chassis aft of the rear axle. The previous owner had configured the MH to run on propane or gasoline in order to take advantage of a short-lived Arizona alt-fuels tax credit which nearly bankrupted the state in 2000-2001. I removed the tank because when I weighed the RV for the first time with full water it was about 500 lbs over the GAWR on the sticker. I previously removed a spare tire the previous owner precariously mounted on the flimsy rear bumper, and a hitch receiver, so now we should hopefully be under the rear axle GAWR (at least when the fresh water tank has only a few gallons in it).

- Dispose of the massive propane tank in minutes through the magic of a craigslist "free" posting.

- Install one 135 watt solar panel.

- Remove the silicon on the roof front seam and apply Eternabond over the whole seam. Hopefully that will fix the cabover leak that the local RV dealership has not been able to fix in two attempts (they put on the silicon).

6 new Michelin XPS Ribs and a cheaper, same size spare. OUCH!!!!

Had a repairman come out and he replaced the motherboard on the hot water heater. It's beeen acting up for months.

I was thinking of doing the same but then we get a lot of company and the ones we don't care for stay out there. I rather have piece of mind and still can go camping if and when we want to.

went out and started the motor and gen.reconnected the house battery while running. turned on tv and lights for load everything was good.

The county sheriff showed up last night... In Nebraska, if you buy used or you buy a vehicle from out of state, you must have it inspected by law enforcement. A phone call is all it took in our county to get a deputy dispatched. When we called Friday around noon, we were told it would likely be Monday before someone would be able to inspect our rig... We were surprised at 7PM when a deputy showed up to perform the inspection. The inspection amounts to verification of the VIN with the paperwork needed to obtain license plates and is a nice courtesy so we didn't have to drive the 40 miles to our county seat.

Today I installed a 10" hitch adaptor for new Blue Ox tow bar and modified new tow bar to use with our Jeep's custom tow plate. Discovered the hose access hole in the waste valve area is too small for Rhino hose fitting to fit through. Valve opening is too low to route hose through compartment door for draining so... I removed the 6 screws attach the waste hose trap door mount and temporarily removed it for draining. Thinking about plan "B" with the waste access hole.

Not a happy camper. Yesterday I went to the storage lot intending to exercise the genny, discovered the lock on the entry door was busted and my brand new 26" LCDHD TV was gone. All the drawers and cabinets had been tossed but as far as I can see nothing else was taken. They didn't take the remote for the TV. Had a quick check around the lot and none of the other 30 or so RV's were hit, curious, I wondered why they picked on me.
Oh well, at least I got to run the genny for an hour or so waiting for the police to show up. Now to do battle with insurance company.

Repairing the lock/door will be MUCH more expensive than replacing a 26" TV (~$250?).

It was close. The TV I bought in July cost me $220 at Walmart. The entry door lock (Trimark 60-650) cost me $170 at the local RV stealership. Twice the price as same thing in US, however couldn't wait to have it shipped as my RV was unlocked. Struck out with insurance as my deductable is $300.
