Installed a new vent lid for the bathroom vent. High wind gusts in our last camp had broken it.

Also fixed the plastic door "hold open" on the outside. The wind had ripped the "dog bone" part right out of it's mount. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole in it and used a left-over piece of air line from the air bag install to replace the plastic ears that broke off. (pardon all the technical terms [emoticon]

)

Now for the noisy jack...

Spent the afternoon scraping out around windows and edge strips to caulk and reseal. Also did a couple areas on the roof.
Very excited about the Rancho 4 for 3 sale. Need shocks soon.
Also need to inspect disk pads before the next trip.
Instrument panel gauges stopped working again. Wish I could figure out what the reason for the intermittent on again off again love affair with my gauges is.

Is the sale on now? I need shocks too.

The *&@^ propane and Carbon Monoxide detector keep going off today. I don't know what that's all about. The camper is sitting in my driveway, on the truck, with fully charged batteries, but they do need replaced.

I reset the propane detector 3 times, then got aggravated and turn off the battery kill switch under the sink. (AF811)

Been there done that. It will not get any better and it will not go away. Replace the aggravating %^&*&^%$ and your problem will likely be solved,especially if it is 3 years old or older.

Oh, and the propane bottles are turned OFF, which is my normal practice when returning from a trip. I turned them off almost two weeks ago.

Thanks Jeff. I am going to get a set for my truck! Are these easy to self-install?
