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

Slide awning flapping: I took some PVC and made a box out of the PVC a little bit higher than the awning, then when with the slide out I sled the PVC box under the awning, this did two thing, it bowed the awning up, stopped the flapping and the rain did not puddle. I did not glue the joints so I could take it apart and store it in the storage area.

Repainted all of the ugly and faded compartment and entry door handles to match the motorhome. Fleetwood used Sherwin Williams automotive paint. Armed with the color codes, I had Sherwin Williams mix up the paint for me in aerosol cans. I removed all of the handles first, prepped them and applied three coats of paint and three coats of clear coat. I’m really happy with the way they turned out. Below are some before and after photos.

I decided to make some upgrades this summer and ordered the following:
12 Volt Motion Sensing Porch Smart Light with LED Bulb
I think this will be handy at the doorway when arriving back
late and even perhaps as a safety feature. The ad says it can be
adjusted to tell between people and critters.


Double Pancake LED Light Fixture
5500 Kelvin and approximately 350 lumen output.
I started out switching bulbs but some didn't fit correctly and one even still got hot. These came on sale at camping world and had many great reviews so I have just decided to order them and switch out all my fixtures for LED lights.


AND... FINALLY ... I found a drop down bed to install in my
class A motorhome !!! I'm so excited.
the 2013 Windsport 29X by Thor Motorcoach Class A
has a drop down bed, same make as my RV so Thor said that an authorized dealer can install it...
Here is a video I found on youtube for it. VERY excited !!

Three weeks later I am still waiting for the parts to arrive at the dealer for the warranty repairs. Then I can bring it home to get ready for the next trip.

Does anyone know a good way to keep the slide awnings from flapping in the wind? Can I tighten the spring or tie the awning down some how?

Got the original GE TV out of the front compartment, and out of the coach. Just waiting until I get a chance to go to Lowes to pickup a bit of plywood and stain to put inside the opening. Have a new TV, with built-in DVD player, ready to install as soon as the mount arrives.

replaced all four slide toppers with new "Tough-Tops", and repaired a road ding/crack in the front wheelwell with fiberglas and touch up paint. I think she's ready for the Alaska Trip.

Left Lazy Days Tucson with a list of parts on order for delivery and installation at Lazy Days Tampa. Hmm just 3 months ago I left LD Tampa with parts on order for Tucson, this could get old. It is under warranty or I would have gotten it done myself.

Got it back from the shop after replacing injector lines:

Friday evening arrived in Ajo Az, a trail of fuel behind us and the Jeep and the rear cap covered with a film of diesel. RV Park owner not happy, but understanding about the diesel on his new asphalt! :E

Saturday AM checked with Kord's automotive at the Napa shop; no mechanics until Monday.

Monday: Can't get us in until Tuesday at 8:00 AM

Tuesday: Into the shop at 8:00 AM. Found the fault: spewing fuel from a cracked injector line ( we decided to replace them all) and ordered parts, put the bed back together. Parts should arrive Thursday, work done Friday. Kord said to stay at the RV Park next door.It's his, and all gravel, easy to clean the fuel spills.

Friday, in at 8:00 out at 4:00, engine, rear radiator and rear cap cleaned as well. Bed also put back together.

No signs of grease or dirt inside the rig. Happy with the job so far. 🙂

Out of here for Desert Hot Springs tomorrow morning: No charge for the RV Park!

It's not just today. I have had a terrible trip this winter. We started out in Houston and we had two roof leaks. I found some eternabond to fix them. Then my thermostat wouldn't read zone 2 and I found a poor wire connection from the front AC to the back AC. ( I will fix this summer). Then my lite fixtures burned out several bulbs. Today I had to replace the sliding door plastic latch that broke. Had to replace the lisc plate taq light. The front curtain rail clips broke. My generator quit working on the Refer when traveling. My engine door strut bracket pulled out. Had to replace the water pump last week. My new Toad is not gettin enought charge to keep the battery up. This has been a trip from hell for repairs and problems. Maybe I need a new MH but this one is paid for. We will travel back to Denver from Calif next week and hope nothing goes wrong!!!!!

Gee, someone else with our sort of luck. We never complete a Mexico trip without something going wrong.

This year, first the heatpump failed. Fortunately were able to get it fixed as a tech was going back to the USA for stock for his business and brought a new compressor down. But 6 weeks in Zihuatanejo with no AC.

Then on the way home it's a diesel fuel leak. The back of the rig and most of the Jeep were covered in a nice rust preventive film. Figure we leaked 30 or 40 gallons between Pitiquito, Sonora and Ajo Arizona. Now we are waiting for Monday to find a mechanic.

Last year it was a burnt wiring harness that kept shorting and locking the Allison in what ever gear it was in at the time and almost simultaneously an air line blew out.

The year before the serpentine belt broke, we spent 7 hours on the shoulder of a Mexican toll road before we were moving again.

Other that that it's a great life!
