Not just today, but for the weekend.
Setup a basic tuner for the truck. Hopefully, I'll get a bit better mileage. De-winterized. Helped wife added reflectix under the mattress and wife did most inside compartments and cut pieces for the windows. Lubricated the antenna, but I think I'll add more tomorrow.
Today, replaced about 95 ft of trim insert with super thick trim. That covers all of the edges. On the plus side, I replaced with much heavier insert. However, that meant that it was a longer job than expected since it was really stiff! In case you do it, do use a screen replacement tool. It's a little strange to get used to, but it will save your fingers. I tried it again after blistering my thumb and forefingers on each hand and still had 70 % to go. I should have tried longer to use the screen replacement tool. In case you are wondering my camper has trim along the outside edge all around the top. Still to do, add the caulking on the ends.
