Topic: What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?

We just finished up the list of winter projects on our 07 C190P Roadtrek (pretty early this year to be done), DW did a cleaning of the generated mess, closed the doors and will let it sit till spring. The list was pretty long this year.

Built and installed a Nascar style rear sway bar. Moved the generator exhaust. Changed from Firestone air bags to Airlift so the bar would fit.

Computer stand for front, with speaker, gps, power. New laptop and portable printer.

Put in wiring to run the compressor frig off the starting battery, if wanted, so we can shut off the 12 power when we are away from the van, and save the parasitic drains from the detectors, etc.

Put in a group 27 deep cycle battery to replace the starting battery. Easy swap, can now get a 115 amp battery for it which will increase our capacity by 30%, now that we can run the frig off it.

Rewired the frig setup by adding a selector switch for the coach or starting batteries, and made a control panel to hold the switch and the frig compressor speed selector switch. Remade the maple trim for the frig.

Made 3 rollout bins for the cabinet under the sink.

Made shelves and a rollout bin for the factory armoire.

Made a few wood trays to fit various shelves, to hold things that move around too much.

Made a new, slightly larger, fold down "shoe changing" seat for the add-on armoire.

Cleaned up the fabricating on the air powered spare tire lifter that I made last summer and tested. Painted and reinstalled.

Now, if it would just stop snowing for a while, .......

Drove from Fredricksberg TX to Deming N.M. just over 600 miles in 10 hours , those 80 mph west Texas speed limits sure help. Didn't do much for mileage just under 17 but then I had a good head wind too. Now to slow down and enjoy the winter.

We just returned from a 3 week trip to Florida and in the last few days, we re-winterized [emoticon]

, drove 13+ hours straight to avoid big snow storm, came back to -15 degree weather, froze our hands getting everything out of Roada (our 2004 RT 190P), and now sit in our "big to us" house wishing we were in "cold" Florida.... [emoticon]

What were we thinking!!!!!!!

I put fuel stable in the gas tank and ran for five minutes like the instructions stated. It had been sitting for two months. Was it too late to do this? [emoticon]

If it started, and ran smooth, you should be OK.

For a week now we have an empty spot in our driveway. It looks strange because we have never been home to see our driveway empty since we expanded and paved it to accommodate our B. The problem will be rectified tomorrow when we pick up our new B. [emoticon]

Sitting in the RV shop waiting for a new black tank to arrive. Current one has a broke neck where it exits the tank and attached to the drain pipe.

I peeled all of the chrome off of the grille. It was starting to bubble in the very center. I've purchased some paint and supplies to re-new it with a switch to satin black. All of the trim is either black or chrome, so we'll see how that works out. I've also soldered all of the connections and built the harness for my tachometer and transmission temp gauge install. I have paint-matched a gauge pod for the dashtop and all that is left is to mount it and wire the gauges up. I just wish the ground would dry up so I could get back to work!
