Got a latex foam mattress for the B and put it in today. Starting to get things together for our summer trip (northern GA, NC, VA, OH (incliding the NDOG), IN and then back home) in a week. A bit early to pack, by we're anxious.
Our 2351D Phoenix Cruiser, Jack, has turned us from campers into RVers and loving it!

Yesterday undid the 14 screws to the outside refrigerator vent and removed the hornet's nest being built there. Put it back on this morning.
Yesterday thought I finally got all the latex around the new floor rug only to discover I missed about six bolt holes so took it out this morning and did those. That's what I get for having parents that always did things the best way they could - nobody would know but me if it wasn't perfect, alas it would haunt me.
Tried to put the painted medicine cabinet back in but have to find a board to mount behind it so I'll ask for hubby help in getting that board the right size and try to do this today
Yesterday I cut the new vinyl to lay on top of the newly painted floor area where the water tank goes. Also cut vinyl for the cargo bay. I also finished painting the "bedroom" walls white.
Cleaned and spray painted with high heat paint the stovetop. The paint was recommended by an RV dealer.
Washed the hanging wire racks throughout the camper - the ones that were removable. Today I'll steam clean the ones that are not removable.
I think that's about it.

Yesterday I made a "storm shield" for the outside of the van window. I used insulation which is like bubblewrap between two sheets of mylar (Reflex? forgot the name, something like that). I cut it custom to fit the window.
Then I sewed an apple green boarder on the edging all the way around and added two side flaps. The flaps go through the van's wing windows - those little ones next to the main window. When you put the flap through the window and close it this holds the storm shield on. I didn't have it finished the day before but had the cutout and USED IT when my house became the center of a Colorado storm that pelted a LOT of HAIL at my window. I used the wipers to hold it on (had to do this 3 times due to the wind). I figure it saved me about $300 or more for a new window. This storm was the worst I've ever personally seen. It was awesome.

Switched out our old Dometic 2353 fridge for the newer 2354 electronic version.
A few days ago I upgraded the little 13 inch tv and VHS player for a new 22 inch Skyworth TV with built in DVD player.

Resealed the three top windows yesterday. The rubber seal around the glass, that presses into frame dried out and was cracked resulting in leaks.(and after only 20 years in the hot sun) Dealer could not supply new rubber seals.....(the same one that wanted $384 for 1 glass from Roadtrek, that I got at a glass shop for $24). Also could not find proper seal at auto and RV supply shops. So, removed windows & frame, cleaned inside frame where seal and glass would sit, ran a bead of black silicon in frame, dropped the clean window glass in and then ran another bead of silicon around the edge of the glass and frame. Let it sit horizontally for 4 hours to set up, and then reinstalled the units.
Rained all last night and most of the morning.............but it was dry when checked a few minutes ago. Will see how this fix lasts after 8,000 to 10,000 miles of driving at highway speeds.

It has been plugged in all weekend. Ran the roof top air conditioner for about 4 hours. I do not use this as much as I used to since the girlfriend bought a Class C. I bought a pair of tire covers. This side gets the bulk of the sun daily.

I am one line of silicone away from finishing the new running boards. I painted them with silver metallic paint, used contact spray glue on the backside of P-80 wet/dry sandpaper stip and then used clear window sealant on all the edges of that to seal the paper edges. Looks great! Last week I put wax on the paint job that took me two springs and one and a half summers to finish on the outside. Painted it two shades of sage green. Looks beautiful!
