New 6V batteries (2), old ones lasted 6.5 years. Took that opportunity to clean up and repaint the tongue of the trailer. Used an Ace rust preventative flat black paint that I used on the frame last year, it seems to hold up well.
Touch up a few spots on the roof with self-leveling Dicor.
Touch up a few spots with silicone on the outside of the trailer.
Seven new Bridgestone Duravis R-250 tires on 7 new 16" rims. So nice to no longer have ST's on there!
Tore the Onan carb apart (again) and cleaned the sludge out of the bottom that was preventing the fuel regulator from opening. It worked fine two weeks earlier when I tested it but not Halloween. All working now (funny how much better it works with fuel actually reaching the engine). Lucky for me the wife had a plan B for dinner that didn't need a microwave.
Also bought a spare fuel regulator in case cleaning it isn't enough one day. I was a little shocked at the amount of varnish on the inside of the carb, it came off with spray but I'm questioning the gas I have in the trailer (and the quality of what comes out of the pump in CA.)
