This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

Winterized----ERRRRRRRRGGGGG!. But not for long, going to Branson Missouri this weekend.

Today was just life as usual...thaw and dry ice off the front windshield, keep humidifier filled and running, and pushed snow around the barnyard so maybe when our high winds come tonight with more snow...we'll have less to push tomorrow.

About 2 weeks ago we finally reinstalled our toilet stable enough to tackle complete floor replacement later on. It's going to be a huge job that will require alot of work down below as well as from inside to remove the rotted floor so we have elected to have the pros do it. Getting down to work on the floor and in that bay aren't something that is comfortable to do any more so...we'll let the youngns' do it! We will replace the vinyl tile ourself and may just do the whole rig. We'll see - don't expect to get into any of that until late spring or summer.

We took our water hoses in the house to thaw and warm up so we can fill with water tomorrow and will warm up the hose we drain our grey tank with too. If needs be will dump the black tank with the blue boy. It's a regular routine we do year round and have learned very well all the steps to accomplish it in very cold weather. We load our blue boy into a 2 wheel trailer and pull it to the septic system pipe with the ATV so its really a pretty easy job. We learned one secret with dealing with a large full blue boy. They are rather hard to handle with just 2 wheels and the tow hook that came with it was just about worthless since we both grab on to drag to the dump trailer -- we use to hay hooks, hooked into the handle to lift and drag. Two people can easily do the job. Since we live with a hay hook in our hand to feed cattle daily...works for us!

For now we are just buzzing around playing in the snow. Today we took a ride down the road on teh ATVs with face mask up, bomber hat on, and of course insulated coveralls -- great fun! We are going down to the teens below zero this week so ...will be more fun ahead.

I'll post a couple images of our beautiful snow scenes after I have them downloaded off the camera!

Put twenty new lug nut covers on my front wheels and installed the tire covers.

I drove it home from Elk hunting in Ely, NV

I didn't do it yesterday. It was a few months ago but others might have a similar need. The Coach is gas, with a 30 amp service. Rather than use propane in a park, and since most parts charge the same for 30 amp or 50 amp, I added an additional independent 15 amp service in the bedroom for an additional elec. space heater. Now the space heater does not draw from the main 30 amp service.
The coach is fiberglas. An Aluminum coach would require a slightly different approach. I cut a hole down fairly low in the driver side wall of the bedroom, almost under the desk. If you have a slide on the driver side of the bedroom, this will require some additional consideration. I mounted a 15 amp convenience outlet with GFCI in the bedroom, then directly opposite but a few inches below the outlet in the bedroom wall I cut a hole in the outside skin and mounted a MALE plug with a weatherproof cover. A short piece of 12 gauge Romex connected the male plug on the outside to the female plug (convenience outlet) in the bedroom. Must be careful that neither the inside or outside plugs are grounded to the coach or you may blow the GFCI's. Hence the reference to an aluminum skinned coach. Must be careful that the plugs, inside and outside, are not grounded to the aluminum skin.

Using a 3-wire, 15 amp outside cord, not over 25 feet in length, I plug the bedroom outlet into the 15/20 amp outlet that is on most campground posts, and the normal 30 amp shore line into the 30 amp outlet on the post.

If you are not comfortable with doing electrical work, get an electrician friend to hook it up for you. This will save a lot of propane and keep the bedroom nice and cozy on the coldest nights.

How to screw up a perfectly good day.

Enjoying the last of some very enjoyable fall weather, bright sunshine, high 60's temperature, I decided it was a good time to dump my tanks since we used the coach a few days over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Parked the rig next to my dump station outside the garage. Hooked up a water hose to add water to the Black tank since I knew it could not have much in it. Hooked up the coach end of the drain hose but the sewer end was left in my storage box. With water flowing into the black tank, I ambled inside the rig to check the level meters. Indicated full. Checked the stool and found it full and just about to overflow.

Ran outside and pulled the handle on the black tank dump, then recognized I hadn't plugged in the sewer end. Spent the next couple of hours cleaning up about a gallon of overfull in the bathroom, my storage box, my wet/dry vacuum and cussing myself out for stupidity.

Two new Maxxair 900 units installed on my 2008 Winnebago Tour and had my King Dome in-motion satellite dome removed for shipment to King Controls for repair under warranty. No satellite tv for probably a month or longer, just ducky.

My husband has ours into the shop right now, getting it ready for the trip south. I think he is getting the transmission oil changed and the coolant taken care of, but I might not have that right, but he is getting ready to go anyway. The motorhome has been in storage for the past winters.

[melvonnar]

Brought the motorhome home from the repair shop; It was in there almost three months, hurah; hurah; hurah; was raining like crazy, where I have to get it in beside the house, I have 6 inches clearance on one side about a foot on the other side and I have to back it in at an angle, stuck my head out the one side watch that side; wife on the other side yelling her head off that I'm going to hit the house; (thats the 6 inch side.) Well I'm soaked to the skin, but happy as---- you know what; just to get my baby back home. she's parked, the electric pluged in and its time to get ready to hit the road, After christmas.:B

Did first round of polishing roof cap clear coat application. Not professional but looks fine from the ground and may stop the peeling of the 15 yr old stuff.

[Minnie_Collecto]

Installed 2 vent covers on our new (to us) rig. Blew out the lines but haven't added the pink yet. Hoping to use the rig again before it gets real cold.

Got the swim suits out so we could use the stick house HOT TUB - 104 F

Expecting a rare, early season hard freeze here in San Antonio, so just to be safe brought in the outside storage compartment TV set and connected the insulation/heat tape-wrapped water hose to the RV. Exercised the generator and ran the RV diesel engine, which I routinely do at least monthly when setting for a spell.

Worked on the new audo/video setup

[yakman]

Put the pink stuff in
