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
I have a 1989 Dodge XPLORER RV Class B - Purchased 10/15/10 IN CASH
Fiance' purchased a Class C 2002 Dynamax Carri-go on 5/1/15 IN CASH
We've got the best of both worlds

Got two things done today. I haven't pulled the battery from it's enclosed box underneath to see what the previous owner had installed. He claimed he put a new battery in less than a year ago, but I had no idea what he installed. The good news it was less than a year old and a deep discharge RV/Marine battery, a type 29DC. Was the brand Walmart sells which gets mixed reviews. Bad news it is a heavy battery and once I had it partially slide out trying to find a date and capacity I got it far enough out I did a control drop of the battery. No damage but online they say the battery weights 65lbs and trying to lift it while laying on my back wasn't going to happen. Maybe when I was 30 years younger (maybe 40) but not anymore. No one close to call for help. I worked it up on a piece of 2X8, then worked another under it, and so forth till I had 4 stacked but I was still short and I didn't have leverage to move it up any more. Went to thinner/narrower boards and did the teeter totter routine till I had 6 2X8s under it and was getting close. One more teeter totter and I got the edge of the battery started into the box and slid it up and in place. Not fun and I will come up with a better plan next time.
My other project was easier. The 1999 E250 console is margin at best. The cup holders are not deep enough and in the case of mine the glovebox had a homemade latch and someone had gutted the inside for an unknown reason making it worthless (no sides). After finding out that 1997 to 2014 had interchangeable consoles, I started looking. Found an almost new one on eBay, a bit pricy but I didn't have to run all over looking for one in a junkyard. I picked a year with good cup holders, a small glove box and a huge open storage bin. It was delivered this afternoon and it slipped right on. Much more usable for a travel van.

What I did do today was break the ties to my old slide in camper, when the new owner picked it up and handed me a stack of cash.

The rest of the bulbs for converting should be here later this week, getting them from SuperBrightLED.com.

Went to mechanic for inspections and lube/ greasing to prepare for trip to Alaska leaving Aug. 17th

That is one of the best times to come. It is possible that we will cross paths. Might need to go outside at that time.
I hope we will!
