What did you do to your Class A MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

Over the Labor day weekend I did a bunch of stuff to the MH. I figured since we were not going out for the holiday I would spend it getting it ready for the rest of the summer and winter desert season.
Saturday I changed the engine oil & filter, checked the air filter and rest of the fluids. The I changed the gen oil, filter and replaced the air filter too. I noticed the upper fuel filter on the gen seemed to be leaking around the seams. And now Onan claims that you dont need the upper fuel filter and the replacement is a longer fuel line barb, so that to got changed.
I checked all the plug wires as my 03 Southwind has the 8.1 and we all know about the plug wires burning on those. All the wires and air ducts looked great and I added a bit of new dielectric grease to each wire. I then greased all the zerk fittings on the suspension and driveline. The last thing I did on Saturday was get one of those headlight cleaning kits and cleaned the headlights. They look much better.
Sunday right after morning church service I came home and washed the MH from top to bottom. After that I decided to wax it! What a job that is! I used the Meguires blue bottle marine/rv wax. First I used the #45 polish. I have a 7in orbital buffer to put it on and then a took it off by hand. This took about 4 to 5 hours to do the front, sides and back. I then took the Aerospace 303 and wiped down the little bit of vinyl graphics it has.
Monday we had a family party to be at, but I had 4 hours in the morning to finish up what ever I needed to get done. So I pulled out the buffer and Meguires #56 pure wax carnauba. This stuff went on and off so good, I could not believe it! I think I spent less then 2 1/2 hours waxing the whole thing. The shine I got is incredible. The coach is a 2003 and I take very good care of my things, but I must say I think it looks as good as new if not better now. After that I had time to go over the windows and mirrors one more time and I was done for the weekend.
I ordered 50 square feet of B-Quite sound deadening mat with heat barrier. It just came in this week, so I think this will be my next project to tackle this weekend. I'm hoping it will help quite down the engine area and help with some of the heat felt coming threw the floor. I had started a thread on hear awhile back about this topic and a few said B-Quite was what they had used and it worked well. So we will see!
