Fronts were up 4 PSI and all 4 rears were up 5 PSI. Let air out and they are all sitting were they should be for now. I will monitor for the next few days to see if there are any significant changes.
Also started to clean the winter dirt and grimes inside the RV. It's amazing how much sand and gravel accumulated in the carpets and in the cracks and crevasses during the winter.
32,000 KM Maintenance Service tomorrow and then time to de-winterize before heading to the B-10 Rally.

Normally, by late March or certainly by early April we have had great weather stretches and good camping days. The operative word, I guess, is "normal". So, no camping but all serviced and ready to go when and if.............. In the meantime, cover up the flowers and 'maters!!

Don't postpone your trip. Cool wet weather is perfect for finding diamonds!
I just got back from camping at the Crater of Diamonds State park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. The campground is one of nicest I've ever camped in. $30 a night with full hookups.
And for $7.00 a person you can dig in the crater of diamonds and keep all that you find.
I didn't find a diamond on this trip but two other visitors found diamonds the day I was there. One was a 3/4 carat white diamond.

This is the drain receiver for the 3/4" flexible corrugated plastic drain hose. It is not a full 3/4" diameter and only protrudes 1/4" which did not provide enough bite to keep the hose attached.

I found this 38 cent PVC 3/4" male adapter at Home Depot and made modifications as you can see in this before and after photo. I cut off the screw thread and had to sand down the male end so the hose could slip over easier. With the threads cut off the adapters inside diameter slides loosely over the protrusion but close enough for the cement to make contact.

The drain pipe is ABS plastic and the adapter is PVC so I bought some Oatey ABS to PVC Transition Solvent Cement and liberally applied to all the contact surfaces. I was rather messy but it isn't suppose to be seen anyway. Solvent cement dissolves the plastic and essentially welds the pieces together rather than just act as a contact cement.

So far it seems to be holding and the corrugated plastic drain hose will definitely not slip off like before. I've looked at several Great West Van solutions for this before my van was built and after. They had seemed to have solved the problem after mine with more positive connections. If anyone has an older Legend with this problem, this is a fix without a lot of major re-work.
The reattached flexible hose installed today with positive attachments, tested and no leaks.

When not in use it folds up like this...

In case you are curious, the TV remote attaches to the wall with Velcro and the fly swatter is on a hook.
I also switched fasteners on my double bathroom doors today so the magnetic latch goes on the active door and the snap latch goes on the inactive door. Since the double doors was a previous remodel of a bifold door it is rather difficult to explain and probably isn't relevant to anyone else's GWVan Legend.
My latest project today was to modify our table. we started out with two tables as standard that came with the B but decided to only carry one since we seldom if ever had two tables out at the same time. The table is a rectangular table that centers over a removable post.
Here is the original setup at our front cab seats turned around. It worked fairly well for two people but had its drawbacks that I will explain.

This is the original setup with one table in place at the back sofa. The idea is we would each have a table in the back if desired and there would be room to squeeze in and sit down between the two.

With the unused table I offset the post receptor 4 inches. It is still stable in this unbalanced position and gives us some flexibility. In the front I can now slip into the driver's seat without first having to slide in from the passenger seat side. I can also open the armoire door now with the table in place. Finally, it actually is in a better position for using it as a computer desk for both seats as you can turn it centered to the seat with the edge closer to you..
Here is the unbalanced setup at the front.

In the back we can share the one table easier. It too brings the edge of the table closer for computer work when you twist it around.

I had tried putting a post receptor right in the center but found it interfered with putting and pulling stored stuff under the sofa, so I removed it. After that experiment I decided to try this unbalanced approach. If we decide to go back, the holes are still there in the original position or I can use the unused table.
