Plans for a great trip to the PNW
Well, the wife got next week off and we planned on a trip up to Oregon-Washington area as we like to go up there and have done this for years. As we had planned on this for some time I decided to get new wheels and tires for the rig. ( I have a post " questions to Vision 19.5 wheel users") Well that didn't work out so well if you read the post you will see why. So with nothing else to do I put the stock wheels back on the truck and asked the wife if she would like to take a short trip up North for a few days. Started to raise the camper then a fuse blew on one of the jacks WTF? So I fiddle with this for awhile and find it is one of the motors on the front jack. I don't think I mentioned that 2 hrs. before I had made reservations at a campground that we had been to before (but I had to get a site that my wife would approve first which is another story completely @*&# ) I tell her we can lift it with a crank on the one jack,But I am thinking "F' this, and she must have read my mind because she said maybe we should stay home something is not right with the stars or something ( I tended to agree) so here we are,at home, so I decided tho take the bad motor apart although I had already found that water had pretty much made a mess of it. Took it apart,washed it with a toothbrush, sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner,and put it all back together. I took a 9v radio battery ( I know I know)to test it and Voowallaa it worked! But I had already ordered a new one and being that we are not going anywhere now I will wait until the new one arrives. Now this all has happened within this last week,so today I decided to take all the remaining jack motors off and go through them. They were all good but I found a few things that could be improved upon, one being a drain hole on the bottom of the motor should water happen to get in. I would have taken pictures but I found when I had the problem with the wheels that my camera(which I don't use that much but I take the batteries out when not in use) also took a dump. Great week guys ,lets see how this next one turns out.
