Since we purchased it three weeks ago and it was sitting for a few years before our purchase we have taken it in for a full inspection, packed the bearings, replaced the bushings (or is that backwards...this would be DHs area), sealed anything on the roof that looked like it might be a crack, replaced 4 tires, replaced the kitchen faucet with a swan neck one, bought two new batteries, bought a new hitch (blue ox), weighed it, cleaned it inside (DH will give it a bath this weekend), added our USA sticker map, removed a panel to the closet and modified to make it more accessible, replaced the valve to the fresh water hook up, replaced the electric wire that hooks up between the TV and the TT, replaced the 30 AMP plug, replaced two sets of blinds, ordered towing mirror extensions and purchased all the dishes, linens, cookware, throw rugs, outside carpet, etc. to keep it stocked, and installed a Flat screen TV.
DH was able to do most of the work except for the tires, packing the bearings and replacing the bushings (still don't know if that's packing the bushings and replacing the bearings...sorry but that confuses me lol).
We are leaving on our cross country Maiden Voyage next Friday. Buying used from a friend who was the original owner and could no longer use it due to health reasons was a huge money saver. Even with all the above expenses we are still under the budget we had set for ourselves when we were considering buying new.
