I think I have to replace my city water intake valve. After using it and then disconnecting, my pump will not prime.

I tested this out and it works. I didn't realize I had my line drain open [emoticon]

Added a drawer under front closet. Didn’t increase room but makes loose things in closet bottom easier to get. [image]

you can also go up! The blank at the top has storage. Thought I recognized the valance. I ordered blank cherry cabinet doors and matched the hardware. Reversed the swing of each side. Took some work but way more organized storage than a pole for hanging cloths.

Chiseled out the original shower drain (It broke when I put the drain wrench in to back it out), and swore heavily at the design of the old Thetford Toilet I need to remove which apparently obfuscates the bolts holding it to the flange.

Looks nice. I like your doors, I had to make my drawer face. I suggested shelves but was told by the boss she needed hanging storage. Doesn’t like to fold things up. Personally I think it takes less room that way. Most of my stuff is folded in the rear cabinets above the jackknife couch.

Scrubbed the bejeezers out of the roof this morning. Going to apply EPDM tomorrow morning.

That sounds like big project. Did it have EPDM before? How do you plan to cut the openings? Did you take all existing items off the roof?

I resealed the roof vents and seams yesterday and put one coat of snow roof on the whole roof today.For kicks I put our 5k window AC we bought for the travel trailer bedroom in the slider by the dinette in the truck camper yesterday..It was 94 degree's outside and 72 on the stove,where we put the indoor/outdoor thermometer.Not bad for an AC that only puts out 4.8 amps..I could run that with my Honda 2k all day long in the hills.

Made a preliminary inspection as to where to install a pancake subwoofer for the stereo system.
Inspected the caulking along the sides and front of the camper (needs a little work).
