I know where that is!!!

You are so lucky! I used to spend lotsa time there when I was in high school. I went back 4 years ago to check it out and reminisce, and there's a big campground there now! (there were a lot of people too)

I was shocked.

Still beautiful and very special

Installed warm white LED strips to replace my fluorescent tubes. I'm happy with the result but it was difficult to get a good connection between the strips and the connectors I ordered. Had to remove a lot of stickum from the ends to get good electrical contact so it turned out to be more labor intensive than I had envisioned. But, what the heck, I'd rather be working on my camper than most anything else.

Sanitized the water system, fired up the hot water heater and installed a seven inch LED light from Best Converter above the dinette. Ten more days and I'll be headed for the first time this season.

I added a motion/dusk light to the back of the camper so when I approach it after dark, it lights up the area. It has a solar panel too so I do not need to tie in to the batteries. Works great and I'll post photos tomorrow. I got it from Costco on sale for $29 for a single light, normally $89 for a 2-pack.

I had a mobile RV service come out to get specs for replacing my crappy worn out rubber roof. He's giving me a number of options, including just recoating the roof, a metal one and if I remove all the vents, rack and ladder, drip rails, etc. I'll know Thursday what the costs are and what I will do. I decided to NOT do it all myself.

Got it washed and 2/3rds of the camper re-caulked (before we ran out of caulk) and helped out a gentleman down on his luck.

I paid the husband of an co-worker who is out of work to do the caulking. Impressive work. Quality of work was near perfect.
