What did you do to your camper today?

Adding pressure to the tire is harmless, it just makes the leak worse. Correct your pressure before towing and you'll be fine.

I'll take a look. I doubt that I can get it up to 150 psi, though. I'll definitely be soapy mix spraying it.

Oh, I didn't know you had 130psi tires. That pressure should show it fine.

Yep, 125 psi. That one was down to something like 118 psi. I normally wouldn't be too worried about 7 psi in the grand scheme of things, it's just the second time (first stop was 2 weeks, this stop was 3 weeks) that it was lower than the others.

Installing Sirius satellite radio docking stations for my coach radio and cab radio. I'll post pics when I'm finished.

OK with the new separate coach radio comes the dilemma if you get Sirius radio for the cab radio you can't play it in the coach. Now the coach radio is a huge improvement over the cab radio doing everything. So I got a portable Sirius radio with two docking stations and connected one to the cab radio and the other to the coach radio. Ran the output to the rear inputs of both radios. Works great.

First pic is the cab install in front of the useless open slot. The second pic is the coach install inside the little cabinet next to coach radio.

Lmao yea I went for all the glitz when ordering my rigs options

Installed a 1,000 W semi sine-wave inverter. It was on sale for $119 at Canadian Tire. Placed it behind the panel where the fuse panel etc resides on my 2014 Work n Play18EC. Instead of putting it on the floor, I screwed it to the underside of the plywood panel that is just under the fridge. That leaves me space on the floor to put in a Progressive EMS. I didn't have time to wire up a plug, so just ran an extension cord out the panel which is hanging there for now. Ran a TV & DVD player. The semi sine-wave invertor worked fine. Idling, the inverter used 0.3 amps (as shown on my Trimetric 2030RV. Handy feature is a simple, wired remote on-off switch. It powered the TV & DVD player fine. Some guys have commented that you need a pure sine-wave invertor. I figured I'd just try this... no flutter or snow appeared on the TV. Happy with it!

THEN! de-winterized the trailer and spent 2 nights at the best provincial park in British Columbia; Rathtrevor Beach near Parksville.

Had a tire go low during storage the first year. Since it was under warranty, I had them check it when I brought it in for some other work. They found a "pin hole" in the wheel casting. Ordered and replaced the wheel.

Pretty amazing work, OC!

Thanks Doug, they still don't slide back and forth real easy, but they really don't move much anyway or at least mine haven't in the 4 yrs we've had them and have been on some pretty un-level ground. As old as OCW is and his failing eyesight, he won't know any difference anyway.

Should get the motor tomorrow and the new leg stuts installed and will post pictures of the finished project.

Yeah...good enough for who's it for!! lol......Must be all that paint..

You said it, I didn't.

If you stand at the end of the driveway and look at them sitting in the garage, they look "Brand new".

Thanks for the tip of somewhere to look. It's under my slide, so I don't know when I'll actually take a look...

[bob caldwell]

Doug...when you get to it, check around the spoke areas

I love my Sirius radio in the new truck, listen to it over Dish network when we are in the trailer. I also just copied over a 100 of my music CD's onto a flash drive and have them available on the truck radio also.

[sgtlm17]

I've had Sirius radio for years when it first came out 15 years ago. Love it!

[TURBS]

Eh Sirius is old school when you can stream it for free. [emoji12][emoji106]
