Thanks Leeann

We'll see how close to the actual genset it is.

I'm glad you've figured out your fuel pump issue.

This is actually a bump to top so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle...

I think my Tioga has faired well with our weather of late! Wednesday evening we were pelted with a storm that had 80mph winds and 4" or rain per hour. Not to mention it's been raining non-stop since Aug 14.

I checked the rig out last night and other than a bit of water next to the stove, the interior was nice and dry! I think the water by stove came in through the window with all that wind and rain.

So, for 34 years old, the old girl did just fine!

She ain't purdy, but at least she's slow!

We had a break in our Rain Tuesday afternoon... so I did a bunch of caulking. Unfortunately... it all seems have washed away with the rain as it didn't have time to fully cure. I'll have to do it again once it dries up around here.

That's great, PW! Sorry, eyeteeth - but glad you're not too distressed.

Went into ours today and it smells a little damp, but I can't find any wet spots. Of course, it's 83% humidity today, so I don't think it'll be drying out any time soon...I might run the AC to facilitate drying.

Yeah, Leeann, mine smells musty too, but I don't expect anything other than that. The humidity is HIGH and so are dew points. I'll have her opened up this week-end (no A/C).

FINALLY got my new dually wheels also! Naturally, they sent me ones for a GM. I think instead of returning them, I'll simply take them to a machine shop and open up the center hole another 0.12".

Eye, the sun actually poked through for about 10 minutes and MAN did it get HOT out! I'm really looking forward to next week so we finally dry out a bit!

I should dry out from all the beer too! [emoticon]

I'm not too concerned, I plan on doing quite a bit of interior work over the winter, so it's coming out anyway... I was able to caulk most of the high seams and the windows the previous week, and it doesn't smell near as damp as it did when we picked it up. Of course we're probably close to, if not over 90% humidity... so turning on the air for awhile before we head out for the weekend might be a good idea.

Posted By: Leeann on 08/24/07 01:12pm

Oh, that's okay then. We need to replace a lot of interior paneling that was damaged by the leaks before we got ours. We've fixed the leaks, it seems, with butyl tape and seam sealer stuff.

I think we're just going to use luan for the paneling and stain it - of course, we'll see how bad everything is behind the damaged paneling, but ours is steel framed, not wood (fortunately). With luck, we'll just have to replace some wet / moldy insulation (fingers crossed).

I would think it'd be a great idea to run the AC a bit and dry it out. Make the weekend a bit more pleasant [emoticon]

Just went out and fired up the genny (have to run it under load for a while every month anyway) and turned on the AC. Already nicer in there - I'll let it run for an hour or so and hope it dries it out enough to remove the damp, slightly musty smell.

Sun's out here and it's HOT. Supposed to be almost 100º tomorrow, too. And then more t-storms/rain showers Sunday. Just what we need...

I need a genny.... [emoticon]
