Touched up the T/C inside, fairly clean already...changed the sheets and it is ready for our old friend to stay in next week. A studio apt.
How about that. What would an extra guest bedroom and bathroom cost to add to your house? Not to mention an extra kitchen and living room with a sofa. Cozy, eh.

Today I dug the Harley Hauler Trailer out of a snowbank. Moved it into the garage. Worked over the wheel bearings and then loaded the Harley in and secured. I think I'm getting awfully anxious to depart for the Oregon Coast Friday morning. I have had the Camper and Truck all ready to role since last week. Just have to fill with water, hook up Trailer and hit the road....
IF only the wife didn't have a city council meeting Thursday...she is so dedicated to her volunteer job and I am SO READY to head out on the road.

I added dually hinges. That wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I backed the DRW far enough to lower it mostly on the bed, and then cranked away. I'm not sure I have it folding quite right, so that is left to do. It seems really close to the plugs, and I'm not sure if that is ok or not.

I also used AMSOIL lubricant like WD-40 to lube the jack switch that has been intermittent. I picked up this hint here by searching, and it seems to work great.

In the past two weeks....replaced the upper and lower hinges on the door, they were very stiff and had started pulling the frame off the door. Took out the dinette table and made a "u" seat for more lounging room. Putting together a new detachable custom table in its place. If anyone is looking for a collapse-able table out of an arctic fox DM me. Looking at putting cork flooring in too, in the next two weeks.

One of the best mods I made to my TC. I installed mine over the bathroom vent, after I installed my Sureflo fan. I leave now the vent open, rain, wind, or whatever.
