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.

Having moved to a new house with a REALLY steep driveway 5 months ago, I finally got the courage this past weekend to bring the old Allegro up. There is VERY little swing room up top but I was able to get it tucked into the woods after some strategic thinking. There were a few minutes where I was afraid I'd have to back it back down! It did scrape a little coming off the street due to the incline but it wasn't bad and could probably be avoided with a bit more air in the rear bags.

That sure looks pretty.

Repaired a minor/major leak in my air system. The coach was losing all air overnight. This had started a few weeks ago but I didn't pay much attention until I lost all air overnight.

Here's the gotcha, I have tinnitis really, really bad, constant hissiing in both ears, consequently I cannot hear an air leak.!! I aired it up and asked my wife if she could hear anything (dumb thing to ask), I won't repeat her comments. Well, it was real loud hissing near the left front tire. I ran the coach up on some improvised ramps and determined that the problem was a cracked threaded coupler (nipple) between the secondary reservoir tank and the pressure regulator valve. This was supposed to have been addressed while in service at the Spartan facility in Charlotte MI. Wrong. It had the wrong threaded coupler and the coupler was cracked. I replaced with the correct coupler purchased at Home Depot.

The air will hold for a couple of weeks before airing down. This means that I still have a leak somewhere. Unfortunately this coach has a PVC cover protecting whatever is under the coach. My next project is to remove the covering and trace the leak.

The power cord will now be easier to roll up and put away without fighting through the hole in the bay.

Now, buy this 90 degree adapter for your power cord and it will take the strain off the cord where it enters the plug. It has worked very well for me.

After having it sit on my work bench for the last five months I finally got around to installing my Trucenter

I am using the motorhome to power fridges and lights, charge laptops and phones, run coffee maker etc. in our house. Due to an ice storm power has been off 24 hours and predicted reconnection is 12 hours away.

This is the first year I haven't stored it at another location due to a planned trip south after Christmas. Lucky I guess.

We had a storm about a week ago and used the MH gennie to do the same. We store MH at the house, though. Always available. I even have plugs wired through the garage to run (gas) furnace blowers and some elec into the house.

Good advice us art. My brother-in-law had an electrician wire one for him and he wired it for 240. Plugged in his fifth wheel and blew up a bunch of stuff. The electric company did pay him for the damage but what a pain.

Make sure he wired it for 120, NOT 240...

He did.

Backed my brand new Georgetown XL 377TS into my wife's brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Luck for me the only damage was a broken clearance light lens on the motorhome and a small scratch on the Jeeps fender flair. Wife had just ask me if she need to move the jeep and like a big man, I said no it's fine, I have lots of room. She had ever right to be angry but bless her heart she didn't't say anything. I think she knew how mad I was at myself. I have backed my firmer 43ft fifth wheel down my 300 foot driveway many hundreds of times and never came close to hitting anything so I figured it would e a piece of cake with a 38 foot motorhome.
