Seems like I just go from one big job (repainting the front cap) to now a hand wax with Mother's Gold Carnauba wax..... Not really that hard but MAN I've realized that's a lot of surface that needs waxing..LOL !!!!

Also - I need to replace my AM/FM antenna on the roof.... Mine broke off.... Anyone done that and if so where did you get the replacement and what kind of connection in in the base of the existing antenna????

I now realize how load it must have been because now I have a squeak from the door I never hear before.
My Door chirps like a bird. I spray the latch and dead bolt on the door wit a multi purpose oil before travel. No more chirp.

My Berk has had kind of a rough start to the camping season. Already this year I have had to repair the ice maker (waterline came loose in between the wall and the icemaker), change out the windshield nightshade motor and replace front A/C, heat pump. Hoping I have everything done for this year now and can stand by for next year.

I use two extension rods under the microwave down to the counter and that takes away all the squeaks while driving.

Just had the motor on my bedroom slide replaced and secured so it doesn't drop again! Also put a new slide seal under wardrobe slide! Damn those motors are expensive!!!

My squeaks at the microwave are back, I'l try the extension rods. Can I assume 2 pieces of wood cut to length?

I have been following this thread but there has been zero activity since August.
Is anyone doing anything to their RV's these days?

We put up a Magne Shade windshield cover and boy does it work on cutting the heat inside the RV. Working on fixing my exhaust pipe. And we washed and waxed it.

Just recently changed the oil/filter on the engine and the air cleaner. In the process on figuring out the fuel filter(s) change.......

Have written up what I have so far on my blog, I welcome any comments.

Really thinking about biting the bullet the first time and putting the shutoff in the fuel line.

We got the shades and tire covers last year and I agree it is the best exterior mod out there if you stay in warm/hot/sunny climates!
