looking forlornly at it. My wife had knee replacement surgery on Wednesday and is coming home from the hospital tonight. It's not going anywhere until my first horse show of 2013 in January as I will be staying around to assist with her rehab.

Spent the past week installing all kinds of Camper hauling related items to the truck, Timbrens, Torque Lift Tie Downs, Rear Sway bar, Camper wiring harness, and last but not least HAM VHF , UHF and HF antennas plus the ICOM IC-7000......Looking to depart for a Pre-Christmas trip to southern Utah, and Lake Mead either tomorrow or Monday....Snowed here all night.

Added, TEMPORARY, insulation under drivers side cabinets, stopped the draft across the floor. Also used the same pink insulation to make plugs for some of the windows and added a layer of it under the bed.

Got the Christmas Decorations up on the camper and the surrounding docking station.

Still cleaning and putting things away from the big trip and slowly working on the very very long trip report. [emoticon]

More Temporary Pink insulation walls. I spent last night in the camper, we had cold winds gusting up to 28mph, discovered I have air coming in around the water tank and blowing in to the camper....I have 3 options (1) to pull the camper off the truck and look for damage, (2)try to pull the tank up inside and seal the space that way then re-install the tank(3) empty the tank and seal it up on the inside then fix it right when the weather is warmer.

Scrubbed unbelievable amount of road-tar / oil off the back of my rig from weekend in the snow? Where in the world did this come from? Ran camper up to Adventurer dealer --Had a Hapijak stuck--dealer un froze for me.

After cleaning from weekend in the snow, got cover back on.

Made a gawdawful mess when I opened up the motor for my Shurflo comfortbreeze. It had stopped running again, so I decided to see what was going on, inspect the carbon brushes and what not.

When I pulled it open, about three pounds of worn carbon brush dust poured out all over everything. It wouldn't have been so bad, if I could have gotten the motor unplugged, but as it was, I had to do it while the motor was still in place, so it rained down all over me, the table and the floor.

That stuff is not something you can simply vacuum up, either, it embeds itself and stains any surface, so it took alot of scrubbing to get it cleaned up and the socks I had on are likely a lost cause, but, the upside is the fan is working again, for how long, I have no clue, but it's work like it did before [emoticon]
