Howz everyone doing these days? Been a while since I posted last. I got busy with other hobbies and fabricated toys. We're gearing up for a long road trip next summer out east (hot hum...

Wish it would warm up out here already so I can test my new Coleman Polar Cub 9200 A/C unit with my Honda EU2000.
Been picking away at all the projects needed to go on this adventure and I'm going to need a vacation before my "vacation". ;)
So far in roughly a month and some change, I have swapped the A/C unit on the camper, replaced the rear drums, shoes, rear leave spring packs, repacked front hub bearings, replaced front rotors, calipers, and pads.
On my parents side I have wired their new Honda Pilot for towing. Modified the Aliner crank jack so that it does not grind on driveway entrances, added a water pump, real metal folding faucet, and some clever brackets to support a soft sided cabinet to the kitchen wall. Modified a cubby hole lid so mom can actually open it and get into now. Made the shore power cord disconnect from the trailer so dad doesn't have to push a wet stiff cord back into the electrical box. Sealed a few more areas that were leaking from the factory. This sucker is almost tight as a frog's butt now. :B
Still need to replace tires, shocks, and front fuel sender unit. Modify the fuel tank filler necks so I can fast fill, oil and trans fluid changes and install a window A/C unit in my parents Aliner.
Whew!
No LG 5000BTU window units are even available in our area yet, dang it! :M
