Installed my Load Equalizing Hitch with some VERY interesting findings using a tape measure and a trailer tongue scale. I wrote an article about it on my web page.

Pressure washed the exterior, started replacing all non-SS bolts with SS bolts (200 down, 160 to go). Re-Sealing all exterior side, front and back Seals. Scraped and redid the whole roof with dicor sealant. Sanitized the water tanks. Ice cleaned the Black tank, cleaned the whole interior. Topped off the battery. Still have plenty to finish up before first camping trip next weekend. Feels good to get all this maintenance done, except in the wallet.

Doubled up my solar power and added a 2nd 100 watt panel. Now I just need 2 6v deep cycles and I will have very solid power capabilities.

Loaded up the camper for the first time this year, even got the DW to help and learn. Took the winter cover off, put away all of the underneath support pallets and timbers, and got her loaded up (after about 8 back under/pull out attempts to get square and centered). Then it was time to drain the water system of the antifreeze, and then run some bleach through everything, and rinse the system out. No surprises popped up thank god! Just need to reload everything up that was removed before storage and ready to go!!!

Replaced the stock thermostat with a digital model from Honeywell. Installed my Fantastic Fan vent cover. Set our air purifier up inside the TC, then opened all of the drawers, closets, etc., to get the VOC's out of the air.

Once again, I did nothing to it today, although I found the caulking gun which is needed for the project I keep delaying.
