Re: What did you do to your Class C MH today???
Today was spent rebuilding the generator. Waiting for a new circuit board, all the rest is done. Checked the propane tank, looking for leaks. So far it looks good. Trying to figure out how to keep the overhead from pulling apart at the seam. Found a small leak and fixed that but nothing seems to hold the corner together.442Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class C MH today???
Last week, we pulled the gas tank and had it cleaned and relined. It is now guaranteed for life never to rust or leak. We picked it up yesterday and between us, wrestled it back into place under the chassis. Today we will reinstall it. We added a new sending unit and all new hoses from the tank to the carburetor. Hopefully that will fix the stalling problem that kept this motorhome parked for the last 10 years. In meantime, we installed new headlights, new fuses, new vacuum lines, belts and hoses. I sanded an painted the rear bumper. Added new channel tape along the passenger side where it was missing.353Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class C MH today???
Started restoration of the drive train on my "brand new" 1984 Jamboree Rallye. Like a reality show, we are under a time constraint to get it through Maryland inspection. Maryland won't extend the 30 day temporary tag to it's a do or die kind of thing. We have until September 21, 2012 to get it up and running and inspected for permanent tags. Yesterday and today: Put it up on blocks. Removed rear wheels, checked brakes and lines. Discovered a leak near the master cylinder Emptied gas from gas tank to drop it. Inspect gas tank... Oh darn, it needs replacing or repairing (not a surprise) Install new alternator belt. Reset carburetor replace windshield wipers replace fuses It has been so hot and then it started to sprinkle with lots of thunder and lightening so we put a hold until today. It's still hot but not raining. Wish us luck with our first RV. John is a vintage vehicle lover and in his career has restored motorcycles, cars and tractors so I am hoping he will find this to be a worthwhile project. Inside the motor home is perfect. Other than vent windows, carburetor and cassette player you would think it was brand new. Oh, no microwave either.301Views0likes0Comments
