Finished sanding the fiberglass bubble top and ordered decals to replace logos that will be painted over.

Busy fixing it. Our 96 Coachmen Saratoga on a Dodge chassis developed water in th ge oil. Did an intake manifold. Thought it was fixed . Then had trans.rebuilt drove it home last week. Was going to take it on a test drive but upon checking the oil found water in oil again. Took off water pump. Found corrosion. Took off timing chain cover which also had corrosion and found hole in cover. Parts should be in today. Will report back.

Handed my Roadtrek 190P (2015) over to Denver Spring and Suspension today for them to do a 2.25" lift on it. Front coil springs from Valley Spring Works in CA. They will also install Roadmaster Active Suspension system for sway control...if possible. This would eliminate need to move Onan generator to install Hellwig sway bar. Biting my nails waiting to see results and hoping all goes well.

Last month I had a 100W solar panel installed. Great success and now no longer have to worry about house batteries draining.

I drive my Roadtrek all the time as a second vehicle.

BTW, what's this "drive to work" business? I have a vague recollection of having done something like that in another life. [emoticon]

Just finished building a Generator swivel mounting bracket off the passenger side of the rear frame hitch. Swings out of the way when opening the rear door.Holds the Honda EU2000i very well. Only sticks out 5" past the spare tire...so still at the 20' overall length and will not be over length for the ferry so still same price as a car. Generator locks to the bracket and bracket locks to the frame hitch. Will try to post a picture if I can figure out how to do it???

Just finished work on the van. My tally including labor came to $3600 with transmission included. I also found out Budget Transmissions replaced the transmission cooler. So Transmission cost $2206 with 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. The intake manifold gasket job (unfortunately not necessary but most common problem), new water pump, new timing chain cover (the culprit ),new radiator,hoses,belt cost $1400 this included $700 labor. My bro-inlaw save me at least $1500,maybe more.

Retired yesterday! Loaded up the B today, leave tomorrow for parts unknown with no predetermined return date. I am looking forward to piling the miles on my Airstream Interstate over the next many years. Glad to be free from the corporate shackles!!! Happy travels.

Unfortunately, I sold my Roadtrek 19P last week. We decided that we should not travel alone anymore due to our age. Our daughter is retired now and is available to travel with us. We need a larger motor home to accommodate her.

On the hunt for a larger motor home now. A number of possibilities available. Just have to decide which one to purchase.
