Now this is South East Texas, why don't they just say one time, "Heat adversories until Novemeber!" I agree. The big change month is October. I have seen it near 100 at the beginning of the month and near freezing on Halloween. The heat makes a good excuse as we are staying in Main for a while then a month in RI then western NY and finale work my way back home. Ray, hopefully you can find one that covers the marks of the old one. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayin Report post Posted July 21 (edited) Making progress; I have the new LED docking lights installed, now when I turn them on to back into the garage at night it's brighter than daylight. I have about 6 hours and $50 in that project. Kwikee step stopped working, an $8 spray can of contact cleaner fixed that issue. Cost me $60 to have a local RV shop replace the foot-pad on the HWH jack, I wasn't strong enough to do it. Got the entire MH washed inside, except for the carpeted ceiling. Man, I didn't know the walls, wood cabinets and leather furniture were so dirty. Tasks remaining; change oil N filter in drive engine and genset motor, wash coach, check coolant for strength of DCA additive. I'll think of more to-do items when I get bored again. I want everything shining and ready to hit the road when we put it up for sale. Edited July 21 by rayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayin Report post Posted July 24 1 hour ago, wildebill308 said: I thought you were going to take some shorter trips? Bill Yes that's our plan; I'm focusing on making sure everything works properly in advance of selling. I've read far too many horror stories of newbies buying a MH rife with problems. That 2½ years of sitting in a body shop parking lot was hard on everything. The short trips will substitute for shake-downs while having a bit of fun and relaxation away from the house and farm. I can't even keep up the farm now, my tractor is in the shop for head gasket replacement and who knows what else after the head is removed. I now wish I hadn't sold my other tractors. What was once pastures is now hay fields, but the man who harvests the hay can't because his baler is broken and all the farm equipment repair shops are behind so far he can't get his baler repaired. Every shop I have spoken with says they cannot hire good help, they are either on drugs or won't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
