What did you do to your Class C MH today???

This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Coming to the end of my to-do list this year.

Installed a 12 volt/usb charging station.
Taped up a slightly ripped shower curtain with awning tape.
Installed bedroom side light.
Cut power cord and installed female plug end so I can use my marinco cord which is very flexible, tired of wrestling with the stiff power cord.
Installed 110 volt outlet on 20a breaker and wall mount hair dryer.
Installed side and rear porch lights.
Removed panel cover on water heater under sink and made a recessed shelf that is 2-1/2" deep.
Finishing up pvc end caps that I am making for the bumper tube.

Took it on a road trip for business.

For fun, I used the inverter energize the water heater. I started out running it 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off, then I switched to 10 minutes on and 5 minutes off. At the end I ran the heater for 15 minutes. To end the process I turned off the heater while I found a level place to park.

I have a scan gauge and it appeared to indicate that there was no change in mileage while running the water heater.

For the rest of the trip I ran the fridge on the 120 volt setting.

Today my solar system replaced all the energy I used in the last 24 hours.

It ran:

coffee pot (one pot)
boiled an egg
ran twin cooling fans for the fridge chimney (thermostatically controlled)
ran the indicator light that shows the fridge chimney fans are turned on
ran a fantastic fan roof vent for 10 hours on low
cooked a pork chop in a George Foreman Grill
cooked a wiener in the grill
ran an led light for 2 hours
ran the gas valve in the fridge and the interior light when door was opened
recharged and ran my laptop for six hours
recharged and ran my cell phone (using it as a hot spot) for six hours
serviced the trik-l-start circuit for the chassis battery
powered the inverter (1/2 amp) for six hours
powered the idiot light on the charge wizard
powered the display on the hall effect ammeter

I'm well pleased with these results.

Brought the Aspect home to de-winterize. Stood on my head to reach all the valves that are located under the bed...in a hole about a foot wide! Got the pink stuff flushed out, ran the generator and actually got to use the A.C. as it is finally starting to warm up here. Added the Geo system stuff to the grey and black. Going to work a couple of days at the job and then take off for a couple on the first trip of this year.

Changed the battery in the smoke and co2 detector.

Turned on the frig, started loading food there. Loading clothing, pots and pans, laundry supplies. Sound familiar? Getting ready to leave.

Awesome - congrats PT!

I hooked up the fencepost to hold my folding GPL 7' ladder and the drying rack that hangs from the ladder.

Then I realized that my plan to put my battery bank under the bed won't work so well. I only get to work on the project in fits and starts because of work/family/superhero-crimefighter-duties and such so it's been a slow project...but I have to get it done before summer!

Anyway, I'm back to welding a battery box to the frame so I can fit all three batteries...so I emailed a business for a quote. Hopefully this will be done quickly!

I won't be semi-full-time like PT, but we're living in it for a while this summer as we move and look for a new house. It's nice not to have to worry about living in a hotel.

Hi,

Spent my first night boondocking as a semi full time user.

[gotsmart]

I drove 273.8 miles from Spirit Mountain Casino in Grand Ronde, OR to Wilhhorse Casino in Pendleton, OR. I used 30.073 gallons (US) of gas and got 9.1 MPG

(BTW, I had the spark plugs changed last Thursday)

[pianotuna]

Hi,

I added extra outlet for 15 amp auxiliary power cord. Now I can choose to run the water heater, or can use the cord to bring in power to run an electric heater.

What I have now is the OEM 30 amp, a 20 amp to run the converter with two outlets (for heaters and the like), and the 15 amp to run the water heater and/or an additional heater.

All of the above are monitored by a power meter

Hi Jeff,

No it is a single non swivel caster. It is a cast (iron?) wheel about four inches in diameter and three inches wide.

[Just_Jeff]

Was it something like this one? Hitch Castor

[pianotuna]

Hi Jeff,

Unfortunately I do not own a camera.

The roller is about four inches in diameter. It extends down about 1/4 inch below where there were drag marks on the receiver.
