I know after folks read this and see Don's pet, there will be a run on moth balls in south Texas....:B According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), the ingestion of just one mothball can cause serious problems in dogs and cats. Licking of a mothball can cause vomiting, lethargy, seizures and blood disorders. Kidney failure and coma can develop.

sbishop wrote: This is what I've been doing since we returned the Tuesday before Thanksgiving; MoHo Repairs When I got back from our last trip I had the following repairs or upgrades on my list, Fix Fridge, reigniter need to be replaced. X Fix left amber sidelight, loose joint in light housing. X Find cold air leak, in foot area on passenger side. Install 12v outlets in cabinet above passenger seat X Check converter, flickering lights and charge circuit erratic. X Leak in rear seam, filon cut too short and not covered by molding. Install light over dash, nice for looking at maps or directories at night. Insulate doghouse, noise and heat abatement. Fix step, making weird noises. Replace trim piece at head of my bed, glue failed. X Rewax front cap, mechanic used strong chemical on it, removed the finish. X Install new light over dinette, getting older need more light. Clean carpet and runner, it’s been several years & lots of traffic. Fix leak in plumbing, turned out I had fixed it on trip. X Reinstall closet floor and dresser, removed when working on leak. X Shorten bathroom heater hose, had kink in it . X Make bezel for HVAC panel, 22 year old plastic. Make bezel for Front TV, same as above. Replace screws for furnace exhaust vents/trim putty, cosmetic and Tech stripped holes. X Tighten fastons on HVAC panel, too many on and offs. Lube Antenna, vents, exterior locks, step X Remount towed light connectors on MH and towed, just a cosmetic thing. Check all drawer guides, having trouble with drawer guides coming apart. X Make new fan assembly and install new light in kitchen exhaust fan, reduce noise. I have since added the following, Replace power cord male fitting, cable sheath pulled loose from molded head. X Strengthen bed frames, screws holding bed frame put into foam siding and luan. X Make two new leveling ramps out of 2X8 lumber, broke on trip(my fault). Find better review mirror for right side blind spot, don’t like blind spot. Make new window covers, old ones were cardboard w/sunrot. Find a new magnet for entry door screen, fell out. Install 12V outlet in bedroom for CPAP, need to use it on the road. I have finished those marked with an X, but there is more wrong with the converter, lights wouldn’t work when I got to the storage yard, jiggled fuse panel and they worked. So now it looks like I’ll have to pull it out to find loose wire. I need to do more to the front cap above the windshield, DW doesn’t like me getting up there so I have to wait for a nice day and she is gone I thought I had found the air leak at the foot space on the passenger’s side of cockpit but DGS informed me last nigh I hadn’t, now I need to make cover for a window with a connector for my shop vac in order to pressurize the interior. The mounting plate for the new exhaust fan has been laid out on the aluminum but not cut. Changed out the lamps in the vent and installed higher wattage so I think that will do for now. I have decided what to do about the leaking seam half way down the back of the rear, I’m going to have it fiber glassed and painted, I have a quart of matching paint so I will save a little there. Most of the other stuff just requires either buying the items needed or making them, but I’m having knee surgery tomorrow so they are all put off for a week or two so newly purchased items or Christmas presents should be here by then. Whanna help? I'm worn out from just reading the list.....:E I would prefer elective surgery to some of the items .....:B Merry xmas258Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Freightguy wrote: I have noticed recently the enclosure for my generator had large spots in the paints with rust forming under them. I found that you can buy the Onan green paint at any Cummins place. Pretty convenient. I removed the top cover and scraped the paint off where the rust was on the side wall and then used a wire wheel on it and sanded the whole thing. Then I did the same to the top. The paint is a great match! I sprayed the affected areas with a first coat. Also wire wheeled all the bolts and painted them. Here is the finish product. 4 hours, 1 can of Onan green and 1 can of black. Great looking paint job. Might I suggest some black snap ties on the wiring.229Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???

Got the rubber plug off,finally and put the socket on the little shaft and a 1/4 turn and it was in my hand..Durn pot metal.Said Sc**w this and took the dish off,finished loading and had a good trip home.On my third beer now. Will be taking it in tomorrow to get that one figgered out.Bought it 1 1/2 y/o and it has 2 yr parts and 1 yr labor. I doubt the warranty will cover breakage by owner.123Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???

Still washing blood off arms, but I can see really good now... :M You are going to regret buying those. Silverstar Ultras have a very high failure rate. I've had mine for several years without any problems at all. Lots of failures could be due to handling with bare fingers(body oil will overheat the bulb). I don't regret mine one iota....294Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
