Cleaned the roof and reinstalled the Crossbars so we can load up the Kayaks for our vacation that starts friday evening ( 9 days on the road)

Nothing today, pulled the new 12 gauge awg correct color coded wire for the clearance lights on the front of the Amerigo and installed the new clearance lights.

Won't be too much longer and the cabover will be done [emoticon].

Our next project will be to replace the bottom panels on each side of our 2014 Travel Lite 770R. We started getting galvanic corrosion last year. It was slight, but we knew it would need to be dealt with. This year the bottom half of the TC siding looks like swiss cheese - it's just eaten away.


Dang! [emoticon]

You guys have certainly had a real headache with that camper. Hopefully your next one will be problem free.

Finally installed the temperature sensor so my solar controller can charge the batteries properly.

Also ran a test of my new Coleman Mach 8 Cub air conditioner. One of the hottest days of the year here so far, temperature topped out around 98* in the shade. The only shade the camper had was the 4 Renogy solar panels. I didn't quantify with a thermometer but I was MORE than comfortable while installing the temperature sensor. I left the AC running, fan on low, while I ran to the hardware store for parts for my front hitch mount generator box build (look for a write up of that maybe later this week). When I got back it was downright chilly in there. [emoticon] And that was with the sun shield open on the Heki hatch!

Ordered and installed a Fantastic vent and bug screen last night. You would think they would include the bug screen, kind of a necessity IMHO. Anyhoo, we're headed to Oregon in September and I like to keep the vent open. ??
