I drove my MH 79 miles today and NOTHING happened! It was an event I recorded in my journal and I hope I will be able to make a similar entry sometime in the near future! :S
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

I installed Supco SPP6e hard start capacitors on our two 19 year old Duo-Therm 13.5 Btu/h A/C's. Running our Onan 7KW generator, there's noticeably less of a "grunt" when the A/C's start up now. The start cap that I removed from the rear A/C was cracked and showing signs of corrosion. I suspect that's likely what caused the control board to fail. I replaced that today as well, so we should be set for the summer heat now.

The ceilings in our rig are very high. Had to strand on foot stool to reach the control knob. We ordered a new Fantastic Fan W/remote control. installed it today. It works great. It was worth the cost.......My next fix is to remove the ADA toilet riser,so we won't need a foot stool to use it! Life is Good!

Have cleaned the roof,PVC,the window awnings and the tops of the slides and slide toppers over the last couple of weeks and was gonna do the main awning after I got home today from driving the school bus run from H**L,but we got almost 3/4 inch of rain in 1 hour as I was heading home. Mebbee tomorrow. Had the air dryer serviced last week and we found the heater coil wasn't working so that came in and I installed it over the weekend and while being underneath,tightened up the new pipe clamp where the flex goes into the muffler. I had just tighened it last week,but it's still leaking,so I'm going to take it back to the shop that just did the exhaust manifold and the down tubes. Also found where the relay is for the backup lites is and now have backup lites.The other problem was that I had no cruise control and found out where the relay for that is and replaced that also. Thanks to Rhonda at Freightliner help for those two. Those folks are awesome.Gotta remember to pickup some spares.
Starting to load for a week long trip to Florence Or and I'll pick up my 91 y/o aunt in Portland on the way. She wants to do a couple of the lighthouses,The sea lion caves,try sandboarding and ride in a snadrail. She's gonna kill me yet. Last tip out with her in the MH was ziplining.

Last January, I packed up for a trip to Saint Augustine (only three hours from my home base...)

Well, a local guy said he could give me a 1/4 cord of fire wood for cheap... I loaded it into my empty basement compartment and we headed out for our trip, got there and set up in the rain... But, before the good weather arrived my brother called to say my Mom had taken a turn for the worse! He said it would be a good idea to get back home... (Which I did, post haste!)

Unfortunately, in dealing with my Mom's condondition I forgot about the wood in the basement until our makeup trip, three months later...

I got to our campsite, opened the compartment for the fire wood and I found the space was a mass of spiders and all sorts of other critters... EEK!

I filled the cmpartment with a whole can of Raid and sealed it back up for the day... When we got back to the camp after a day trip, I opened the compartment and started throwing logs on the fire ring and lit it... (BTW, Raid and Kingsford Charcoal lighter fluid will get a log burning with one match...!)

Anyway, I burned nearly all the wood and had a few pieces left... We got back home and I went to empty out the basements and there was a whole lot of fine "sawdust" under the last couple of logs...

I called the Terminex guy and said I need an opinion about what bugs I might have... (I was worried about termites...)

Nope! The man said, "Not termites... They are Powder Post Beetles... They are nasty little buggers that will bore into all sorts of hardwoods and especially hardwood floors and furniture..." He continued...
Ugh!

So, innocently enough, I ask... "How do you treat them...?" He answers... "The only way to get rid of them and their eggs is to fumigate..." "You mean tenting?", I ask. "Yep!" he happily replies... "And, it's $1200.00..."

So, that's what I did to my coach today...
So much for a cheap load of wood...!


OMG thanks for the warning ! Who would think of bugs damaging RVs !

I finished the replacement of the Norcold 1200 LRIM with a Samsung RF 197. A lot more fridge capacity, larger ice maker bin and most importantly, the bride is happy. A win-win for me.

LOL!!! I had the same noise, but when I suggested that, she said it was probably a loose nut behind the steering wheel... :S


LOL!!! it sounds like you had my wife with you..


You do know that your wife reads this?

Talk about not having a big enough MH.
