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

The outside faucet in the side storage area of our 1996 RT Versatile leaked badly and no replacement parts were available. RT mounted this faucet inside a fiberglass enclosure and the only access was from a tiny opening behind the rear driver's side wheel. Unbelievable lack of planning/engineering! I cut out a section of the enclosure in order to gain access, and replaced the faucet with a stronger non-rv type. Soon I'll fabricate an L-shaped piece of aluminum to cover the opening that I cut out. RT should have realized that these parts don't last forever, and replacement should have been made much easier. Even a plumber with a basin wrench would've had extreme difficulty the way that RT originally configured this faucet. Grrrr! Thanks for reading my "rant".

Exercised the generator. Filled the propane tank. Ready for a road trip!

Put new rear tires Nexen Roadian AT II 's. Korean tire lots of good reviews online. Unfortunately I bought new tires for the front 5 months ago or I would have done tge front also. This past summer I did a bit of forest road driving and scared myself a few times losing traction in the boonies so the AT 's will help a lot. So far they feel good with little additional noise.

We have spent the last two months preparing a new home for our "Stanley"
Just returned from the Balloon Fest in Albuquerque and are using the Stanley Barn for the very first time.

I am busy using Murphy Oil on the Honey Maple cabinetry in our Pleasure-way Plateau TS. It takes time but works. We have tended to forget that this is real wood and after a while it gets dry. I am also cleaning off any marks on the wood. Looks a lot newer now so far.

Spent the day cleaning the outside of our RS. Made a curtain for back door to keep cold air from blowing in at the top of bed. Getting ready for a trip to Door County, WI, on Monday.

Have a great trip. We are debating the local weather and considering if we can squeeze in a trip before the frost arrives. Finishing RV wood conditioning.

Fastpaddler,
Just saw your great response to my questions about screens. Thank you so much! New 2014 PW Ascent, picked up last week, tho with only 280 miles, has some real issues. A recall the dealer didn't know about, major problems with furnace. Worrying it's a lemon....but maybe all the warranties will help get it in shape. Screens down the list right now....but your suggestions are great....and I will get to them! Thanks again!

We just returned from a 10 day trip to AR attending a bluegrass festival. Great musicians.
We spent the day vacuuming,mopping the floors, wiping down the wood work, laundry and making up the beds with clean linens. Now, we are ready for the next adventure on the road.
