Sounds like a fine adventure! Bon voyage.

Quick easy project I’ve wanted to do for awhile. Insulate the rock guard.

Good Idea!

Did you cut it just to fit snug or did add a holder of some sort?

[brroberts]

Cut it fairly snug and added a little (not full coverage) contact cement.

Today I shortened the backstabbing shade tensioners. It’s something else I’ve been wanting to do.

[brroberts]

Checked the A/C heat strip today. Easily went from 24 to 70. Outlets all blow fine, and the filters are clean.

Built a quick shelf to hold glasses, phone, etc by bed. It just hooks on the valance. I’ll have to figure out a stain concoction to get close to maple. It’s poplar, and I don’t have any maple stain anyway.

Pulled the two empty propane tanks to fill tomorrow. Just like last time, it looks like you can fill them instead of buying a whole new trailer.

Hahaha. That’s very funny! (YMMV, though, right cpaharley2008?)

P.S. I like the shelf too.

[cpaharley2008]

What

[brroberts]

Yep, it turns out you really can fill ‘em. Took the propane tanks in and they filled them. I only saved about 2 years and $40,000.00 though, so I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Gee, I wish I knew this 5 years ago.....

Picture of shelf installed now that the varnish is dry.

I need to grease wheel bearings and I want to install some fans and then roll. The truck is already checked and loaded. Probably leaving Thursday; the weather looks good.

[brroberts]

ETI installed 2 reading lights we did not order. Both are falling and damaging the paneling. I took them down and am working on installing fans in their place.

[brroberts]

Here’s images of the other 2 fans. The one for the PS dinette is a Hella with closed blades so the blades aren’t bumped getting in and out of the dinette. It’s by the cabinet that’s an occasional head knocker.

For the one that is at what we use for the foot of the bed, I had to run wires in the cabinet. There is an internal wood support between the fan and my closest wiring.

It’s 20F for a high today, but I need to grease wheel bearings. Then I can pack.

All 3 fans are on T nuts in the cabinets because they weigh more than lights.

[brroberts]

Lagun table follow up. I have, like others, tightened the arm too much causing the plastic bushing to crack and the table to sag. We are travelling, so I rotated the bushing so the crack is not at the aft end anymore. I tighten gently now, and the rotated bushing works as good as new.

[brroberts]

Came home last night to a MaxcFan that would look not shut off. I have coating, but haven’t gotten to that job yet. Maybe it will dry and save itself, or maybe the dehydrator when I get home will do it. If not, it’s a new board, which of course, I will spray before putting it back in.

[brroberts]

New shoes, Goodyear Endurance and metal valve stems.

[brroberts]

Auto door edge guard on the top of the door frame. I’ve hit it and scraped my head 2 or 3 times. This should be better.

The corner protectors fell off the bath mirror after all of the showers. I put the edge guard on it also, but I’m not convinced it will stay.

The edge guard was left over from what I bought for a vehicle.

[oldwave]

I put a small blinking light at each stop up at the edge
After a while I learned to duck

Pavlov was right

[brroberts]

I mostly duck. This is for the few times I get in too big a hurry and then bang!, I really slow down.

Hats are the deadly deal. Whenever I wore a hat I’d smack my head.
