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.

The first class A that we really liked was the Bounder 34J. Loved the layout. At the time we had a 1973 Triple E with a Dodge 440 and a 4 barrel carb! Couldn't swing it at the time. Later bought a '97 Triple E Commander and then our current rig.

By the way, we'll be lucky to hit 50 up here today, cloudy and rainy, just lit a fire in the stove downstairs. 😞

Moved it out of its parking area for a few minutes.

My neighbour came to the door and explained his problem: The boat mover had arrived to pick up his father-in-law's boat for launching and got jack knifed with the boat against a large tree. The truck was on the wrong side of the boat and couldn't get out of the driveway! Once the motorhome was moved he was able to snake past the boat, the wells, a few large trees to our driveway and back to the boat from the other side. It is now happily against the dock.

With any luck, this should result in a kilo or so of freshly caught Spot Prawns and some nice turning wood from the large Arbutus tree (Madrona) he had taken down. (The stacked wood from this tree had caused the problem; it blocked the end of his turning area.

Today I exercised the generator for about half an hour. Put a heavy load on it by running both air conditioners. Greatest generator, never had a problem with it, Onan7500 Quiet diesel.

I also removed some water spots around the compartment area caused by the sprinkles on windy days at home. Little by little getting ready for next month when we take off traveling from June and back by November.

De-Winterized it. Added water, ran hot water heater, cleaned out sinks, toilet, etc. Changed the air filter in the generator. Pulled the CB out as I never ever use it. Airing it out. Getting ready to go this weekend for two nights and then in 2 weeks, heading to Disney in FL.

I find it hard to travel this time of the year in some states because of the tornadoes all over Oklahoma, Texas and it runs all the way up to Indiana. Be careful on your travels. I could hardly wait to get out of those states, kept watching the news on TV all the time.

You do realize that you are at a much greater risk of dying in a car wreck in these states than encountering a tornado?

Not sure about that statement. How many tornado's hit Oklahoma yesterday alone? A few years back we got hit by one in Texoma and it was not a laughing matter. We had to evacuate our coach and get into the showers at the RV park.

Removed the battery tray with slide, sanded it down to bare metal and then primed/painted the top. Will need to refinish the bottom and hopefully reinstall by the weekend.

Not today, but recently. I installed a remote control for the black-water valve (http://www.barkermfg.com/autodrain.html). No more trips outside during inclement weather, just activate the switch. I leave the switch in the 'open' position for about a minute, then back to 'close'.

Replaced the two steer tires today with Michelin 315/80R/22.5 XZA2 Energy tires. The original Michelins were 295's and were priced at $638 through the Michelin Tire Advantage program. I got the 315's for $583 each and they are load range J as opposed to the 295's that were load range H. Just the short drive back home, I noticed an improvement in ride and handling so I was pleased. The tires were 6 years old and the road side was showing some sidewall cracks so it was a feel good project on my part. The drive tires were dismounted and inspected and passed 100%.

I've never been happy about the effort it takes to close and latch the common Trimark 60-650 lock assembly on our primary coach door. Knowing that the bolt on these locks are subject to stress breakage, making it quite difficult to get the door open for repairs, I decided to remove the inside panel and make sure everything was well lubed to minimize friction. With the panel off, I realized there are two springs used to close the bolt, one that's tucked away inside the bolt housing, and another that is primarily used to return the pull paddles to their resting position after the door is opened or closed. I found the spring return for the paddles is quite stiff, and that removing it allowed the door to close and latch with not much more pressure than that needed by most conventional residential doors. The downside of course, was that the paddles flopped around a bit without the return spring to hold them retracted. A brief search of my on hand spare springs turned up a much lighter spring of the correct dimensions to use as a replacement for the heavier OEM spring. The door now operates much easier, and closes with minimal effort while still retracting the paddles. My wife is also very pleased with the mod, and that makes me happy too!

The photo shows the original spring held alongside the lighter replacement.
