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.

Tip to end weld is 2". Unknown brand part # is 190588. With the stock muffler, it lowered the db by 1-2 and made it mellower. :d

Also added a 110 VAC duplex outlet to the power box next to the Onan. Never know when you're gonna need it there.

Mate a friend of mind spent precious hundreds on this issue @ the onan service store. I'm going to muffler man when my time comes. brilliant. if he wasnt crying when he parted with it for a ten spot then you got it for the right price.

Bravo. I like your style & appreciate your fine sense of humor.

Yeah, the runs took a lot of elbow grease to get off with the stripper. I'm gonna try it on something else that doesn't matter.

What are you using to apply the RMP? I tried the ZEP Wet Look($28)on the painted rear ramp door of my 20' enclosed and it didn't come out right. Took a half gallon of straight stripper to get it off. I may have put it on too thick with many different applicators.

Pollen. That makes sense. I spent most of the afternoon cleaning it up.

I'm using an applicator that came with my Poly Glow kit. It is a shammy stretched over a rubber backed plastic block. I'm not sure that RMP3 is exactly the same as Poly Glow but it is not very much different. I believe the key is to put on very thin coats. It is also important to prevent any runs.

The problem I had today with applying RMP3 was bee poop. I kept seeing small spots of rust colored drops. It took a while for me to discover it was bee poop. I had to clean the spots off the roof before I applyed the RMP3. JD

I finished coats 3 and 4 of RMP3 on our roof. The problem I had today with applying RMP3 was bee poop. I kept seeing small spots of rust colored drops. It took a while for me to discover it was bee poop. I had to clean the spots off the roof before I applyed the RMP3.

I had planned to finish the roof on Saturday but was delayed because of rain. DW and I washed the front, back, and sides of the MH on Saturday in the rain.

I also finished coats 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the front roof cap.

Tomorrow I wll put RMP3 on the front area below the windshield and start on the back. I don't think I will do the sides as they are looking good as they are.

Got the roof washed today and tomorrow it's the first,2nd and 3rd coat of RMP3.

New Michelins all the way around. Drivers were almost bald and the steers were so out of round it was painful to drive the last 500 miles. Tried to buy along the road, but M never seemed able to deliver to the dealer I called before I got there. The FMCA member's deal certainly saved a lot of bucks on the tires, paid for 10 years membership dues compared to Goodyears or Michelins with no deal.

Completely re-wired the house 12V system:
-Replaced 8Ga cable from the MPPT Solar controller with 4Ga.

-Removed 3/0 cable and replaced with 4/0 cable.

-Replaced 1/0 cable to the Inverter with 4/0 Cable.

-All new cable is covered in Slit-Wrap for further abrasion tolerance.

-Created a new “J-Box” area for DC Distribution in a closed off area under the bed where everything terminates: Batteries, Inverter, Solar, House +12V, etc. All out of the weather and street grime.

-Moved the 300A Inverter fuse here & upped to 350A to cover the house load previously not fused at the battery.

-Finished installing the Magnum MS-2000 Inverter/ Charger

-Added Magnum MS-2000 BMK (Battery Monitor Kit) to this area.

Hands are now numb from cutting and terminating 4/0 Welding cable..


-- Oh yeah... Replaced the straight out gen exhaust with a SS "turn-down" before the neighbor at storage figures out why his new cover has a black spot on it..
