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

Posted By: diepenj on 12/31/11 12:19pm

Over the past few days, I've done a little preventative maintenance and some things on my to-do list.

1. Like almost all RT's, my vehicle battery would rind down after sitting for little more than a week. I still have the original battery in a 2008 vehicle so I pulled it and took it to have it checked...it tested OK (NICE, saves $100). I added a battery disconnect while I was reinstalling it so I hope I've reduced the possibility of dead battery.

2. Replaced a circuit breaker that is located to the underside of the RT. The old one was corroded so I thought changing it in a nice warm garage was better than taking a chance that it might spoil a camping trip.

3. Later today, I want to replace the directional ring on my crank-up antennae.

4. I have two more items that I might work on before spring. One is a small scrap under the driver side outside storage. That's an easy fix. The other is a bit more work but the sliders on my house battery boxes are quite rusty (especially the rear ones) so I'm serious thinking of replacing them with stainless steel slides.

Installed a new plastic continuous hinge on the driver side storage box on my 99 RT 190 Versatile.

We went for a drive to Waycross for the heck of it. About 240 miles. Nice ride.

Bought Christmas presents for my PW. A Wing-man for its antenna; a Rhino stinky slinky replacement kit; bought a couple of struts for a new cabinet door I made to cover the gaping hole left when I removed the built-in coffee maker.

Then went to the ocean and hung out for a few of hours.

Drove from Jupiter, FL up to Vero Beach, FL and back after after a visit to the Vero Beach Outlet Mall and then hooked up a new Solar Charger from Battery Tender.....

I called the police on my Pleasure-Way first thing this morning.
It was parked on my street and someone t-boned it between last night and this morning. Ouch!! Driver side storage bay and exterior wall is destroyed.

I sorta like to think of it as getting the bulk of the bad behind me for 2012.
The driver of the other vehicle didn't even leave a gift tag, just hit and ran. Hopefully he's feeling hungover and whiplashed today. I sure wouldn't mind lashing and whipping him!

Thank you, goreds2, same here.

I am so sorry to hear what happened to your PW. I, too, hope the repair is better than new and certainly hope they find the driver. Their vehicle must have some serious damage, too.

Installed a back-up camera (wireless). Works nicely. $80 from Advance Auto Parts.
