Posted By: Brad820 on 03/14/12 07:55pm

Repaired broken outside shower hot water line connection with a PEX connector.

Cleaned off sealant, etc. of the outside shower door, etc.

Put an electrical extension into the dinette for my laptop. Replaced the wide swinging door with a vinyl bi-fold door, fixed the awning of the door that the DEALER was too lazy to do when I bought the unit. Next is replacing the bath overhead window with one that opens. Fun, fun, fun!

Checked the two Big Interstate batteries. All cells needed about 1/2 or so of distilled water. So I was worried. But when I checked the voltmeter both batteries were 12.85 vts. so 100% charged. My rig has been plugged in to 110 for 6 weeks.

Just a reminder we need to check our battery water more often. I feel I was lucky all was ok. The Batteries were new in Nov.

De-winterized the water system and cleaned a bit. Ready to take a short trip this weekend.

My batteries needed about 1/2 cup of distilled water to each cell!
They were not 1/2 empty, ugh.

Replaced the rear door lock. The old one was starting to give me a hassel with the key lock portion.

Got the bathroom overhead window replaced with one that opens. Also trimmed the folding door to fir inside the opening. Now I think I am almost done adding to and modding my TC. Time to go RVing.

Still seem to be getting a little water accumulation in the bottom left rear corner side wall at the bottom of the compartment door. Tried scraping out the old caulk and recaulking the edge trim but that only lessened the problem. It's is entering from more than one location. I scraped out and recaulked the vertical trim on the corner wall where the back and left side meet. There were a couple spots where the putty was not sealing. Going to scrape and recaulk the bottom edge trim on the back of the camper and a couple other trim meets Filon locations that may be suspect. I will check in the morning to see if the affected area shows whether it has dried out a bit or not.

Removed the bedliner from the truck and test fitted the TC into the truck.. It does fit in better. Ran my jacks up and down and cleaned the inner legs. Filled the TC back up with all our junk for the camping season.

I made an aluminum panel to mount my new Trimetric and the controls/switches for the solar charge controller, water heater(s) & inverter display inside the camper...
