I had a productive weekend. Small modification.....

Before:

After:

Before is a 2006 Northstar 850SC that I've had for 3 or 4 years and it was truly loved. After is a 2005 Lance 820 which I drove 700 miles to buy. The reasons I loved the 850 was the whole "Tent" like camping experience which is also why I've gone hard side. Quieter, better insulated, stealthier. Stealthier??? It's 5" longer and a foot wider but looks the same all the time. Excited for a new era in camping.

I checked the batteries, closed up the water heater from winter, closed the drain valves, cleaned the inside, measured for a solar charge controller location (yay!) washed the windows on the truck/camper and got it ready to drive to the city house in Burbank tomorrow; then to Metro RV to have the fragile Midi Heiki vent replaced. It came in 2 weeks early!!

climbed in it this morning to empty the dessicant,didn't need to.it was toasty warm.no rodents or bugs.next friday it goes back on the truck to go in for toilet and cupboard door repair before the warranty is up.c'mon springtime.kjenckes,you have my condolences.personally,i'll be resisting the hardside as long as humanly possible,or until the wife says otherwise,which won't be anytime soon,she loves the northstar more than i do.
