Recently returned from RT Michigan to BBNP. Great trip, but came back in a snow storm.

Didn't actually do it myself, accept to take the B in to have it done. I had the 20 year old rotted out speakers replaced with nice new ones. Even an upgrade from the originals. Wish I would have done it sooner, radio sounds great now. You could actually see daylight through the speaker cones where they were falling apart. The back speakers would have been easy to do but I didn't want to mess taking the doors apart for the front so I let the pros do it all and they made short order of the swap. Since the back was so easy they cut their flat installation charge.

Had a really, really, nice day yesterday. Took the B for a ride, did a little cleaning. Picked up some lunch and went to a lookout to check on the volcanoes. Drove home and decided to sit a while and listen to radio. We were pretending to be on the road again.

Used my Harvest Hosts membership to go to Uwharrie Vineyards for the weekend with my girlfriend and my dog. Nice weather and awesome weekend getaway for us both with my Roadtrek!

Had a 10 speed MaxxFan installed in my B on Tuesday, in place of the original. I had one in our last camper and loved being able to keep air moving without using a lot of battery, using the lower speeds and being able to keep it going in the rain. This B is the first camper we have had with AC but I still like the quiet so hope to use the AC as little as possible. I put the last MaxxFan in myself but that was over 10 years ago so I decided to forgo the aerial work this time.

This week I also removed the mount for the back bucket seat since I decided to make the cabinet I installed to be removable, permanente. Filled in the gap and put a piece of carpet across in front of the side doors to hide the patch.

Oh I used the B to haul 40 bags of mulch home this week, not in one trip. You know how you always underestimate how much your going to need.

Last weekend I did a test fit of my new flag pole.

Well,
Sold our Newmar Kountry Aire 5th wheel and bought a Midwest. It's parked under the carport and we have been putting things in it and taking things out of it!! [emoticon]

A few days ago drove from the Spokane area with the Phoenix Cruiser to the railroad museum near Reardon, WA. Stopped at a state park too, Discover Pass needed. Looked out over a reservoir. It's just east of Reardon. Nice drive in the spring since it's green yet and no fires. All is working well with the rv.

Time to bump this thread to the top again. This isn't just todays work but a few projects the last week or so. We came back from the May trip with a list of things we wanted to do to the B.

I added a fold down counter extension to the counter behind the driver seat. If I move the seat all the way forward I can now pull up the extension and add 18" to the counter beside the sink. I used a white plastic cutting board for the top. Wife loves it.

Bought a short folding step so the wife's bad knees don't have to work so hard getting in the side door. Wife made a sleeve for it out of some scrap fake leather/naugahyde stuff and I added some mounts to the inside of the second side door to hold the step when not in use.

Converted the last 3 tungsten bulbs in the van to LED and wired in a spare switch so I could turn on the lights between the seats when the doors are closed. Since the switch is powered from the cabin battery I added a diode so the chassis battery would not try and charge the cabin battery if someone opened a door when the switch was on.

Added two magnetic rechargeable strip LED lights, one in the range hood and one above the sunvisor on the passenger side.

Resealed the seam between the fiberglass top and steel body.

Helped the wife make some magnetic blackout curtains for the front side windows.

We bought a pair of Skreenz that slide over the front doors so we can leave them part way down without getting skeeters.

Cleaned the carpets getting ready for next trip in a week or so.

Been a good couple of week, looking forward to our next outing.
