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

Pink stuff out of the lines, checking for leaks.
Next check the roof with a bottle of Capt. Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure in hand, then a coat of marine wax.

Only cost the price of the bulb ... $2.13. I watched the technician change it and just shook my head. The vehicles are over engineered with no thought to DIY maintenance work.


Karsty, quit, quit! you're scaring me! Wonder how much it would cost to change the dipstick?


You can't afford it George. LOL 🙂 You'll have to read my write up about it in the DIY section.

Getting the RT ready for our first trip this year to a Storytelling Festival in VA. Hope to leave next Wed. Been checking everything out, cleaning and loading all the supplies back in. Keeping fingers for some nice weather.

CamperUSA is in West Bridgewater on RT 18. Top of the hill heading south before Bridgewater. They are a retail store plus an RV fixit shop. Very nice people. When I purchased my RV last year I had their mechanic go over all the RV stuff with me. Then everything was running and I knew how it ran, I hope.

Bob drove it three hours up to the Durham VA hospital outdoor parking lot to sleep last night for this a.m.'s early appointment. All went well except for a 1 a.m. knock on the door asking for his military ID. No problem, back to sleep.

They'll provide a motel nearby, but why waste our taxes? Besides, nicer to sleep in your own bed.

Made the switch to microfiber towels...take up much less space and dry super quickly.

Bought $1 organizers at Target for my galley. If I knew how to post a pic, I would show you how great it looks.

Added a tack today to keep an eye on the RPM's when climbing mountains or coasting down the other side in a lower gear. Should know where you max. torque and HP is. Also added a USB power source for Phone & Ipod charging.

Darn, just got another load of snow. It never ends.

The grille on my 1995 RoadTrek 210 popular has suffered from apparent bird strikes or other hits soft enough to crack some of the grille parts without breaking them out completely. Something much harder broke the bottom of the passenger side headlight door on the chrome area knocking a large chunk off of it. All of this was existing damage when I picked it up last year and started on a restore, replace and repair process.
Also, some chrome areas are peeling and blistering, likely a reflection of age.
So, to address all of this, I secured replacement and upgrade parts for the big G30 as well as for an identical (in every front end way)1995 Chevy G20 Cobra High top conversion van that is my daily driver. The Cobra is having some similar grille issues with cracks and blistering chrome. Peeling cannot be far behind, methinks.
I bought two complete grille "sets" which comprised the two end headlight doors and the center grille section.


later I found these way too kewl stainless headlight hoods... figured this was a good look, so snagged a set of these as well!

Next I wondered about some projector headlight replacements that I happened across and decided to try the upgrade on the Cobra first then on the Roadtrek later.

So, now that all the parts are here and the weather is beginning to get off the winter mode, I think a decent few hours ought to be enough to get the old stuff off and the new stuff on!
So, collecting all the parts to be ready to face lift my RT 210 is what I did today.

2013 Winnie Era. Pulled the inside covers off the AC as there was a new noise heard on the inside of the AC unit on the last trip. Turns out the heater element on the AC is right next to the cooling fins and has some flex in the way it is mounted. Enough flex to where the heater element started hitting the fins...metal on metal on certain roads gets annoying. All better now.
