Covid chores...check-off list

[garyhaupt]

Whatcha doing with/in/under the RV during the quiet time?

I will blame Corvid but it needed some attention regardless.



Blocks in the shackles to lift front and rear passenger side.
Work in progress...

New exterior fridge vent cover.
Installed.

New hi power inverter to x3 charge the batteries when plugged in or generator running.
Installed.

Trying to figure in an auxiliary 150-200 liter fresh water tank.
Re-grounding all the radios..AM/FM, VHF and CB...try improve usefulness.
hmmmmm....ideas still germinating.

Brake job.
Have parts (front pads only)...done this week, says the guy.

Two new fancy diff covers, 4X4 stuff.
Completed

Outside stairs...taken apart and rebuilt. The metal fatigue was huge.
Completed.

Jobs added..re-ground all radios to frame. Lousy reception with sing along radio and not great with VHF and downright yuk on CB.

Oil/lube...found three capped grease points that had never been serviced.

X2.. and the weekends have been mainly and colds . . .. . . :M

I will install 2 max air vents...

[BarabooBob]

I adjusted my TT brakes and took it for a test drive. They work great. I also installed a vent cover. That has been on my short list for some time. It will be nice to be able to leave the vent open and the exhaust fan running in the rain. Last year I installed a Vortex 2 upgrade. I love the intake/exhaust option and the greatly improved airflow vs the original useless little fan that came in the TT.

Could work, Gary!

[BobsYourUncle]

I gave consideration to driving to the storage yard and touching the TT!! Maybe give it a hug, console it a bit, it's getting lonely.
Thought maybe I'd apologize to it for the apparent abandonment!
While I'm there do the usual visit checks, climb up on the roof etc.

Unfortunately, I have nowhere to work on it, and then list is long.

I'm sure hoping we get out this year.

Or 43.99 Canadian gallons.

lololol

Lwiddis...I can't seem to reply in a normal fashion...software issues, it seems...

I have lots of room underneath, so that shouldn't be a problem. Some straps and bingo. I will have a spray-on insulation applied to prevent freezing. Intake will have to be a hole in the RV skin...too bad...and a KISS method of transfer out. A couple lengths of hose stored away and a drill powered water pump. A spigot of some kind under the tank...connect the hoses and pump and hey presto..

I patched and resealed the underbelly. Perm mounted my cell booster. Installed flag pole mount on propane tank bracket. Preparing to install another 400w solar and a 60a mppt. Making quick place/removable insulation for slide walls in cold weather. Trying to figure out a high production water filtration method; with no luck. Prolly wash/wax.
Maybe I’ll get really lucky and get to use it one day!

Aux 200 liters of water? Where you thinking of putting it? That's 400 more pounds! Also, do you have extra room in your GVWR for 400 pounds?
P

It's a lot more than that. Water weighs more than 8 pounds per gallon (8.34).

EDIT: Oops. I'm a moron. I didn't see the liters. Yes, 200 liters is about 450 pounds.
