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 made one minor error in my original post. I should have added the word "liquid" as in "liquid EPDM"

oops!

Took out the Queen size mattress and installed the custom made Split Queens. They can be easily slid out of position to make up and change sheets unlike the Queen size mattress that was much too heavy to even lift corners.

Cleaned off the peeling sealant from one of the roof vents and recoated same.

Added some Dicor on the screw heads holding the canoe/kayak racks on the top.

Replaced the LED bed side reading lights with a marine type LED lights. Warmer color light, less glare and more flexible directional control.

OK, maybe not all done today on our 10 month old TC. So much more on list...

My 9 year old fantastic fan was starting to die so I ordered a new one. The inside cowling in the Lance was a hair different so I had to dremel the inside panel of the new fan by notching the corners . No biggie. Start to finish the swap took two hours. New fan is dicored and screwed into place and is purring away.

I'm on a LED light kick and Superbright had a 15% off sale so I bought a few and a few more...lol Just installed a set of LED headlight bulbs in my truck. I like them. Very low power draw, 23 watts per lamp.

I washed the windows and packed the fridge in preparation to leave in a few hours for a little 3 day adventure! Yay!

I put down luxury vinyl plank flooring and recarpeted the ledge by the bed and the one under the table. I have updated material to recover the cushions, but haven't got to that yet.

Cut out the old plywood skirt board that was behind the fiberglass rear skirt to replace it with a 2x6 to act as a second overhang floor stiffener.
