~ with the help of a friend, we modified a wheel well/engine compartment splash shield for the RT. Time for a wet cold weather camp out this weekend after I do a resupply.

We just got back from our trip to the Keys. This was the first trip with the Versahaul for our scooter. It worked flawlessly. It has a ramp to roll the scooter onto the carrier, 4 strap hitch points and the light system keeps you safe and seen by other motorists. cannot say enough about it. Worked great out of the box with no modifications just the optional light kit. I would suggest purchasing it from Versahaul for the custom fit and finish. We cleaned up the interior and now need to get ready for the next trip.....Jimmy Buffett concert here we come !!!!!!

Had a new set of Michelin LTX M/S2 installed, and I road tested at highway speeds, seems smooth. Like the tread pattern on the M/S2 better than the older M/S that I had. Should be a little better on ice,snow and rain.

Repaired the fantastic fan, wire came loose and I resoldered it and repaired 3 way speed switch. Imagine a loose wire already, after only 17 years of use.

Replaced my last LED bulb, so now am 100% LED. They have been working great...very easy on battery.

Can't wait to get on the road again.

Charged up house battery with Sprinter i-5 diesel running for 20 minutes. Aired out rv and checked for mice droppings.Hurray! None this winter--I put large sheets of h/d aluminum foil under each wheel so the field mice cannot get any traction and climb up the tires. Seems to work.

I'm intrigued by the foil. Can you show us a pic?

Crawled under to check the propane tank and see if the wires to the monitor panel inside were disconnected. (The inside monitor for propane is showing FULL even when the tank is empty) I was horrified to see the tank and surrounding area was rusting real bad. The winter ice and snow and sand and SALT has taken a toll on the tank. As soon as the weather clears enough I have to get it cleaned and then start sanding and repaint the affected areas.

It was too dirty and full of dirt, sand and salt to even see if the wires were damaged.

I HATE WINTER!!!!!

Replaced the gas cap with a locking one and ordered the last four LED replacements.

I had enough LEDs but decided to put brighter ones than I bought for the storage compartments and the cab over since we don't use those that much anyway. Everything is LED now inside and out. Before if I turned on one or two incandescent bulbs the fan in the converter would start up. Now I can turn on at least ten to twelve of the LEDs and the fan stays off.

"Replaced the gas cap with a locking one and ordered the last four LED replacements."

My used RT came with a non-working locking gas cap. I was going to replace it when my truck driver son said, "Dad, if they want your gas they just punch a hole in the gas tank, take what they want and let the rest drain on the ground." I would rather let them siphon what they need and leave my tank alone so I just put on a regular gas cap. So far, so good.

I have used locking gas caps on vehicles for 25 years. Less to keep people from sucking gas out, but to keep the local hooligans from trying to toss stuff in. This was back in the 1980s, after a family member in another part of town had to have a complete engine rebuild on a classic car (mid-60s Pontiac) after stuff that shouldn't be in the combustion chambers found its way there. Even though this is not likely going to happen, I like taking precautions anyway.

As for the foil underneath the tires, mind sharing a pic? That would very much come in handy here in TX where unless one has a thriving cat colony, the field mice would invade in a matter of days, and since the weather is generally warm, nothing really stops them from reproducing.
