I saw these threads in some of the other Open Roads RV Forums, but didn't see one for TCs.

I'll start...

I installed Interior LED puck lights and a 12v power outlet.

found the non connected coax for the satellite dish and wired it up. can't really test everything out until the weekend as the trees around the TC block the southern sky.

Cleared snow and ice off the top of the ADCO and inspected for mice/squirrel entry. Dreamed of getting on the road again.

Installed some razor strop hooks for hanging items in the camper. I hate the massive hooks offered by the big box stores and much prefer the razor strop hooks because of their small size.

Put child safety locks on the cabinets over the kitchen sink. I emptied the cabinets the other day making a turn while heading home.

Installed new soap dispenser for the kitchen sink. Got tired of the pump soap dispenser spewing soap every time it gets cold then heats up. (not to mention having to pick it up and put it away, then find it in the cabinet when we get to where we are going)

Replaced this:

Do you mean Bodega bay Nor Cal? If so which campground? Doren? Wrights? Just wondering I'm about 30 min. away and I think my brother was at Doren this weekend in hi Fiver.
Bodega bay Nor Cal, at Porto Bodega Marina and Harbor.

We will be leaving about noon today.

I washed off all the black lines off and waxed the nose. Im starting to look like Popeye after the second application.

I used Turtle wax for the first time in decades and was very pleased with the results.

Raided the TC Pantry for ingredients to make tamales.
Plugged in the battery charger.
Ran the water pump.
Inspected the interior for any signs of water infiltration.
It will be in the 20โ€™s tonight so I wanted to be sure the electric heat was on and the TC furnace would kick on as backup if the electric shuts off.
Everything looks fine and ready to go.

Hit a patch of ice and had the rear end of the truck swing like a pendulum (No camper on at the time, was hauling one of my 100lb bottles out to the gas station to get it refilled) while climbing up onto the bridge off the island. Front tires held, rear tires swung side to side until control was regained.
