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.

Last week. Pulled into El Manglar RV Park in Zihuatanejo Mexico. Next day a body shop crew arrived to do a fiberglass and paint repair to a trailer next to me. Was impressed with the workmanship so I asked about a small scratch and a chip out of the glass at the edge of one compartment. Then we walked around the rig and since they would need to match paint how about painting a ding I had had repaired years ago and just primered. Then the rock chips on the front and another small divot on the right front done years ago.

A few days later, sanded, filled, sanded, primered, colour coat and clear coat then buffed. 6300 pesos, roughly $520.00 Canadian, $370.00 US. And you cannot tell where old paint ends and new paint begins.

They have offered to do a wash, cut polish, wax and buff the rest of the rig for 2000 pesos more. Tempted at only $165.00 Canadian ($120.00 US)

Some things are so cheap down here that it is easy to hit the end of the pension before hitting the end of the month!

I had the lr slide adjusted, four new bilstein shocks, and safety-center installed. I replaced the main awning myself with a carefree crank style awning no more fishing for that @@##$ strap or worry about broken springs.

Started with some things a while back and began with pulling the gen-set out. Found a blown stator winding and have that job on hold, while I think about, how best to spend the repair money. I would like to find a used stator or the generator itself somewhere.
Next, a new camera and monitor, which I installed today. Works nice in the driveway, so far and for a give away price at Amazon, so just hoping it's for long term. Re-adapted the existing wiring from the old voyager and along with some mounting mods, it all worked out, better than expected.
The last inverter I last installed, went out, so pulled it out and have a new one coming from Amazon, as well.

Forgot to add my front suspension upper bump stops that I recently replaced. The stops are cheap and easily replaced, once you learn the trick of using the jacks for raising the coach just enough for slipping them in place and then putting them on down for forcing them in place.
With these upper stops, they could be long gone with wear, tear and rot without one ever realizing it. Unless you hear the clanging from a return with bottoming out of course. What was left of them and even though alerted with one falling out in the driveway, was a flat pancake looking thing, whereas the new ones are pear shaped and you wouldn't guess they were even the right ones for it. They're like $11 each from your local Chevy dealer and not even worth ordering from a supply house. Auto Zone can order, but has their wires crossed and show the cost at around $75ea...lol. Other stores call it a dealer item and online stores want about $5ea plus shipping.

Replaced my old group 24 Interstate house batteries with Optima Blue Top group 31 AGM batteries and charged them. Looking forward to more time on the inverter!

Replaced the fuel filter for the first time myself. It was really easy & took me longer to fill the new filter with diesel than all the labor of removal & install. Fired right up & took her for a spin while running the gene!! Then parked her back in the garage!! We are heading out at Thanksgiving!!!

Drove it from Bluff, Utah to Albuquerque NM on roads ranging from terrible to great, through weather varying between downpours under black clouds and beautiful bright sunshine and near clear skies.

And watched the cracks in the windshield grow another couple of inches.

(Yesterday evening) Called ICBC (British Columbia's government run auto insurance) from Moab, Utah about a cracked windscreen. Hit by rock on the 6. Amazing service. Answered on the first ring, transferred me to the Out of Province Adjusters department, who took all the details, opened the claim and said that my adjuster would call today. Even gave me the adjuster's name, toll free number and claim number.

Hope to get it fixed in Albuquerque or San Antonio.

I drove it for the first time in five years as I did a gas to diesel conversion.
Details can be seen in this thread.
