Anxiously awaiting a break in all the busy..ness here, Have to hold off on next trip until I find out if I get called in on Jury Duty this next week.....Grrr

In the mean time today I added a Charge Wizard remote pendant to my Progressive Dynamics 9245 Converter Charger. Kinda neat to have control over the Charging Cycle as well as be able to tell by the blinking LED which mode the Charger is in. $10.95 gizmo...mounted it right at the Solar Panel Charge Controller.

Removed both rear entry door windows and frame from my 2008 Arctic Fox 1140.
Switched the clear glass to the upper window opening.
And the frosted glass to the lower window opening.

Both exterior window frames badly yellowed.
Removed them to shop.
Clean and spray painted (Krylon rattle can) to a new white color.

Noted moisture intrusion through the lower window frame to the door interior structure due to dried out polyurethane caulking.
Applied new caulking to both frames.

Assembled as needed.
Looks like new.

Just did a job I've been putting off for some time now. Replaced both the black and gray water dump valves in our Lance SquireLite 165 camper and installed a new flush valve in the Thetford Aqua IV commode. Got 16 years of service from all of the original valves so can't really complain. The commode had a small leak from the valve when connected to city water (even with a water pressure regulator).

With the commode out it was a simple job to flush the black water tank and successfully remove "deposits" and TP from the sensors so the gauge now reports correctly (at least for now). Thank goodness for stubby wrenches and lots of patience, because at 6 FT and 225 # there's not much room in the restroom. Rubber gloves, face mask, and eye protection were also critical to a safe job.
