What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?

[goreds2]

I see the other types of RV's having this type of thread. I did a search and could not find one here. 🙂

Yesterday, I drove mine to work to "excercise" it. I have driven it to work twice in the two weeks I have owned it.

In the two years I owned my Class C, I drove it to work ZERO times. :E

Thanks for the tip Al. I will do this when we return to NB in April. We've purchased a 37 feet Park Model in Florida and will be using the B as our daily vehicle. We got as far as Apache Junction (near Phoenix) with our previous motorhome (37 foot Gulfstream Sun Voyage). Met many Canadians from BC, Manitoba and Alberta and only a few from Atlantic Canada.
This morning, I've run the generator for 30 minutes and got the fridge working in preparation of our 4-day trip next week. I am running an electric heater with a thermostat to keep the interior warm so that the fridge freezes up OK. I've been told that the fridge will not work properly if it is too cold inside the RV. Hope this is the right thing to do.

Woke up to 3 degrees this AM. Ran the geni for 40 minutes. Took a couple of pumps to get it started, but once it started, it purred like a kitten.

Started packing for our trip to Florida where we'll spend the winter. Planning to leave on Tuesday after the storm in the US is over. Had an oil change done, changed fuel and air filters, and wiper blades. We're ready to hit the road for our first big trip in the LTV van with DW and our two Maltese dogs, Mika and Angie.:)

Have a great trip. I used to live in Ottawa and go to Florida in winter. Now on the West Coast we go to Palm Springs or Phoenix & area. Do you have a Florida room to attach to your awning. Doubles your home space.
2. Today, put 18inch wide heavy duty foil under all four wheels.Why? The little field mice cannot get a footing and crawl up the tires and into the warmer interior of the B. Smart idea, eh?

PS Some people come here from the East and camp all winter!!

Yesterday, I took it out shopping for some exercise. Filled up the tank and will put some sea foam in it just in case that was my last cruise for a while.

I got a Wave 3 catalytic heater and tried it out last night. I am at my cousins and her outside plug wont allow me to run my Coleman overhead heater (which is inadequate below 40o or so) and a supplemental quartz heater or it blows the circuit. I ran the overhead and the cat heater last night it was down to 13oF and I was toasty warm. I let it run overnight on low and it was 67oF in the morning. I have the drivers window open 2 inches, my CO and O2 sensor were quiet. But the heater sitting on a "cart" between the drivers and passenger seats heated up the overhead control panel for the conversion van. I wa afraid it might melt or even start burning so I plugged in my little clamp on fan, directed it to blow right at the panel and it cooled off right away.

Today we just re-loaded our Pleasureway Excel. She is now ready for the next adventure. We have just replaced two tires, (yesterday), so today we had to put all the goodies back in. Since we will not be traveling for about 1 month we drained the H2O, cleaned the interior, placed the window reflectors back on the glass and covered the wheels. Luckily we park next to the house and have a 30 amp hookup we installed to keep the charge up. We also have H2O and a cable hookup so when we have overnight guests we give them a private cabana home for the night. Alarm is set, windshield wipers slipped into the noodle covers and all is well for now......Class "B" Motorhomes...B Safe, B happy, Go RVing!!!!

Yesterday, I picked up the 2002 Roadtrek 190 V from the mechanic. Last bit of mechanicalwork to do (I purchased the van from a dealer representing an estate for short money. It had a few things to fix. Will tell story later.) I now have a few rv work left, which I hope to finish in the next few days.

1. Hang new shower curtain.
2. Put safety handle on the side door for wife.
3. Finish putting seat belt on rear right hand seat.
4. Put kit on that will make it easier to winterize.
5. Put by-pass kit on water heater. (Somebody really screwed this up.)
6. Clean RV.
7. Start creating a master list of things that should be on it like FrancoAmerican Mac and cheese and spam. (Great stick-to-the-ribs dinner.

Work on additional lists.

Boy, these Rv's are fun to own. Cockpit to fly, mechanical things to learn about and fix or make better.

Ordered some Dicor to repair the leak at the vent which I discovered after the first rain of the season.

Did a oil change last night.

I finished the wiring in the new motor home garage today and hooked up the chassis and coach battery chargers.

[HiknDoug]

I bought a 04 PW Excel.
Now to figure out the ins and outs. As my wife had back surgery, the trusty VW Bus is just to uncomfortable for our upcoming CCW trek around the US.

Last Friday, my underhood battery was drained. I trickle charged it until Sunday and it started right up. :C

My chassis battery drained on me once. Fortunately it was summer time and I became aware of it shortly after. I was able to boost the engine from the coach battery and took the RV for a long drive. All has been fine since then. 😄 I had left my headlights on ... any idea how your battery discharge?

Winter prep is complete. Looking at 12-volt dehumidifiers for the apron time between trips.
