The only thing I really planned to do this year was replace a leaky skylight over the shower that I discovered when winterizing last year. Put a piece of Eternabond on the crack and waited for spring to come. Well, spring came with a vengeance....

So far this year:

1. Replaced the entire slideout floor and repaired water leaks
2. Converted table and chairs to U-shaped dinette
3. Installed new floor in entire TT with shoe moulding around all the cabinets.
4. Replaced both skylights
5. New LT225/75-16E tires
6. Reinforced pantry shelves so they don't sag with that big box of cornflakes.
7. Added bluetooth receiver to the stereo.
8. Waxed the outside (note to self, never let this go more than 1 season...)
9. Re-packed the wheel bearings.
10. Adjusted the brakes.
11. New mattress for the queen bed.
12. Insulated under the bed for cold weather camping.
13. DW re-upholstered headboard in bedroom.
14. resealed a bunch of seams and misc stuff.

Good thing I got new 6v batteries last year, or that would have been on the list too...

Man, I am SOOOO ready to get some camping done!! Hoping nothing else breaks until at least next year....

Sounds like you might be close to done. Time to sell it and get a new one so that you have something to do!

Funny thing...I hardly did any "projects," or mods on our trailers UNTIL I joined the Forum and started reading....

From then on it was one, "gotta have, gotta do," after another....:D

How long?? I started on a sunny January day and finished most of the heavy mods just before Easter, and have been knocking out the other stuff here and there.
