No pictures, and not today but over the past weekend:

- thoroughly cleaned the outside
- fixed a kink in the water tank pressure relief line. Much better water fill now :-)
- filled fresh water tank
- hooked up LPG
- tested all systems

... ready to go on the first trip for 2012!

Is that a TDR emblem on the grill?

I talked to a truck service place about adding one main leaf spring to each side of my 2008 F-450. Have to use new spring bolts. Cost estimate around $500-$600. Think I will do that next week. No sag or sway or steering issues now but the back of the truck is still lower with the big Okan t/c with two slides. I have tried several things, best so far is the block-name?-between the springs and helper springs that gets more use out of the helper single spring, but as the back is still lower I want it level and I do not want air bags. Timbens did not do anything I can tell.

replaced the power converter,with one that will keep my batteries charged,replaceing the hood fan with something that will not make so much noise, replaced both valve to propane tank lines with old style not the plastic nut i need to use a wrench to tighten.More later as we are going to alaska and the yukon for two months starting in may.

Got my new light fixture installed [emoticon]

. It makes the old lights look extremely dim by comparison! [emoticon]
