Well,
Just finished rebuilding/repairing the "Auxiliary Battery Boost" solenoid in our '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT. It also does dual duty in controlling the charge from the engine alternator to the house batteries. It had some bad contacts in it so, I dissected it and, re-surfaced the contacts. All is good now.
Now, I'm replacing the water control valve in our Thetford ARIA Classic toilet. The wife notice an ultra tiny pin hole leak in it the other day so, I tried to repair it, AIN'T HAPPENING! So, I'm awaiting the delivery of a new one from Amazon. Should be here on Monday and, I'll have it all back together in about 15 minutes.
Seems like the big girl goes for quite a while without any issues or breakages. Then, it all hits at once. Good thing I'm retired and can fix about 99.99999% of the issues that happen. And, it's really nice to have the big girl INDOORS to do all this repair/maintenance/cleaning etc.
