Starting out in the Bay Area - referrals needed!
Happy Thursday!
I'm very excited to see a community dedicated to motorhome living!!
My husband and I recently purchased a 1985 chevy dolphin, class C, 23' motorhome. Over the next 25 days we will be moving out of our apt in SF and slowly into this home.
It has been sitting out in a field for the past half-year and other than a visit to the mechanic to get it passing smog test and some break work, we have not yet had any service done to the body of the camper. We are looking for any suggestions for the best way to make this happen.
Our priorities we think right now are:
*water system cleanse/refresh
*test LPG system for leaks (it's new as of last year we see from paperwork)
*rooftop AC service (doesn't seem to blow cold)
*basic wash/body clean
It also has a solar panel system that if anyone has experience with, we'd love a walk through of what's taking place from the panel to the 3 marine batteries inside. We have all the booklets and are prepared to learn, but having it shown/explained would be much more helpful.
Are there any places you could recommend that could help with at least a lot of the initial starting up services?
If not a business, do you know of any good hook-up places where we can do a lot of the water flushing ourselves?
We are new to the community of motorhome living/services, so we are very willing to hear your thoughts or opinions for a course of action.
Thanks so much for your time!
