Covid chores...check-off list

Whatcha doing with/in/under the RV during the quiet time?

I will blame Corvid but it needed some attention regardless.



Blocks in the shackles to lift front and rear passenger side.
Work in progress...

New exterior fridge vent cover.
Installed.

New hi power inverter to x3 charge the batteries when plugged in or generator running.
Installed.

Trying to figure in an auxiliary 150-200 liter fresh water tank.
Re-grounding all the radios..AM/FM, VHF and CB...try improve usefulness.
hmmmmm....ideas still germinating.

Brake job.
Have parts (front pads only)...done this week, says the guy.

Two new fancy diff covers, 4X4 stuff.
Completed

Outside stairs...taken apart and rebuilt. The metal fatigue was huge.
Completed.

Jobs added..re-ground all radios to frame. Lousy reception with sing along radio and not great with VHF and downright yuk on CB.

Oil/lube...found three capped grease points that had never been serviced.

    Maybe the OP suffers from ornithophobia :@
  • We don't really have anything that needs doing right now. I'm not even going to do the spring cleaning (it's still pretty clean from the pre-storage fall cleaning) or load it up with our stuff until I know we actually get to go somewhere. I'm sure DH will do a good wash and wax at some point, and get up on the roof to check everything up there (he's probably already done that...), but, again, no real motivation at this point. I think he is thinking about repacking the wheel bearings.

    Oh, we did switch out the door lock to a keyless entry.

    We haven't de-winterized yet either.

    lol...X2!
  • Aux 200 liters of water? Where you thinking of putting it? That's 400 more pounds! Also, do you have extra room in your GVWR for 400 pounds?
