What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???

This is always a fun thread to watch so I thought I would start one here.

Loaded the fridge and coolers for a weekend in the dirt.

Getting ready for camping this weekend, I had to repair the electric tongue jack.

The inside tube fell out while retracting the Fastway Flip-Jack. I tightened the through-bolt, on the Flip-Jack a bit too much.
Had to dis-assemble the jack, re-install the inner tube, then weld a heavy washer over the threaded head to hold it in place.

Installed an inverter so we don't have to turn on the genny to watch TV in our bedroom. Fixed the toilet and kitchen sprayer...apparently it froze long enough to do some damage. Installed winch under stairs. Made cover for gas thingy in rear of garage out of diamond plate. Replaced the flooring for the second time...this time with a sheet vinyl instead of stupid peel & stick. Put down new baseboard to hide the edges of vinyl. Replaced carpet in bedroom, hallway & stairs.

I got the new progressive surge protector installed. Hope it does its job!

Put a gauge in the air hitch, checked the tires and greased the bearings,moved the tables to a new location for transport, changed oil on the genny, ran wire from the rear camera to the front hitch ( no more no signal on the display), lubricated slides and doors, worked on pvc bike rack, changed oil on the new 800 ranger that we are going to haul and had 3 cold beers in the garage to forget about all the snow that we still have. Can't wait to hit the road this summer.

Bought the XLR a Can-Am Spyder :)to go in it's garage. Love new toys for the hauler, especially when the DW approves. She's already making a list of where she wants to go ride that thing.:)

Installed a Splendide Washer/Dryer, now my DW is much happier.

Haven't done it yet but my solar stopped working. Nothing from the panel. Ordered a new panel & controller tonight. Will be replacing next week.

Porknbeanr, thanks for the offer. Mine are are Atwoods and like you replaced a single motor with a crossbar. I debated the swap to dual motors also but decided if the leg could be fixed I would go that route (DW liked that the best). If this dosen't pan out I may take you up on your kind offer.

The sat domes a great, installed mine a couple of months ago. One push of a button and in a few minutes you have TV, can't beat that.

Had a great weekend it the dez, time to leave and the landing gear wouldn't come up evenly. The left leg would hesitate/stop, but finally got it to come up enough to get it home. Took out the gearbox/motor and left leg. Gearbox good, motor good, leg not so good, missing chunks out of the gears.
Took leg down to a local RV shop and had them rebuild the leg, also bought a new gearbox made out of aluminum instead of plastic. Ordered a new switch to replace the one which is currently only held in by the silicone as all of the screw tabs are cracked and broken.
Will lube up the right leg and hopefully will have another few years of service out of the landing gear.

Hey River and Sand....Sorry to hear about your landing gear. I changed mine out for an independant leveling system but kept the old ones. They are Lippert and work fine. You are welcome to them if you like. I live near Temecula. If interested send me a PM.

Although I said I never would, we purchased an automatic roof mount satellite dish with Dish network service. It really is nice when the weather is not so great or when you just want to catch up on the news. Camping World had it on sale and my local "Giant RV" matched the price for the unit and the installation.
FYI Dish has an RV package that allows month to month service with no start up fee. You can stop and restart at any time. Very Cool

I have had several and use Stabil every fill. No issues in over a dozen years with any of them.

Put all the food in the reefer, the house reefer took a dump last night.
Mobil/modular homes have limited space for appliances, so one is on order and due NEXT SATURDAY !! SUCKS !!

That's a bummer but lots of folks have many hours on those 5500 with out issues. Many issues are installer/owner induced. Like anything mechanical some have issue, do some research on your codes might be real easy fix. Know your enemy as they say...

I would normally agree with you but do all the right things in the off-season. It has been to Onan 3 times where I was asked if I run racing fuel through it because the carb was so copperized. They have an issue with this unit but can't seem to fix it. I have owned three other rigs all with Onans and treated them the same. They all fired right up not matter what. I am just venting. Thanks.
