Getting ready for spring!!

In between rain storms, I've removed, cleaned, and tested the 6 volt batteries-repainted the battery rack-replaced all the battery cables-replaced the 12 volt auto circuit breaker (thanks to Ol Biscuit)-replaced the switch on the tongue jack-removed the converter/inverter and tightened every connection(several loose)- and replaced the water pump!!!!
Now we wait for some better weather to try out the pump and other things I've completed. Can't wait!
Yeeee Hawww

  • After I got back from my first camping trip,,, here in MN I may add, I washed the travel trailer today. I cleaned my battery posts and checked the air in the tires last week. To soon for me to test the water system but, the fridge still works just fine.

    We done about the same thing, like you removed the converter/inverter and tightened every connection only one loose, check the propane and all the connections run the heater.
    going to flush the water system and the wife is getting all the inside stuff done. Hope to go camping in a week or so ,a trip close for the first one this year than a big trip in April.
    Have a good 2016 season


    Really!!! :S

    Blazing Zippers has an excuse as it gets nasty over the winter in Norther Idaho, BUT J herb, southern Oregon, no reason to put away for winter. Heck it looks like we only needed to winterize once this year as temps since New Years have been mild.


    Some years we go camping in the winter but this winter we have been busy, we usually go in Feb to the coast, March and April to Joseph Stewart SP. than out of state trips.
