Was figger'in on that anyway. I think it may not even be rust. Just looks brownish gnarly.

Cut the stock switch down on the bandsaw and glued in the square opening.

Bought several universal outdoor covers at Menards in Goshen.

Next rear stabilizers switch.

This is one mod we WILL do. I've not found a lockable style yet near us. I figured just covering it would keep young'uns with curious fingers away from it.

A nefarious minded person could REALLY do some damage in short time playing with that landing gear (or stab jack) switch.

What did you do to your camper today?

After a week long trip to Portland area then onto Cannon State Beach and after that a few days in Salem, Oregon for total 2090 miles round trip. It was time to wash and waxed trailer and wife cleaned the interior and put trailer back in storage. As the DS will be heading back to school. That is what we did today

Yesterday was the first day since June 20 that we didn't camp in her. I took her to a parking lot to open the slides and get my in-laws stuff out from their visit back in June/July. Parked it back in front of their house and didn't do anything with 'er after that.

Today, she'll get drug home from the in-laws to my house where we start unloading our stuff to take her to storage in the next day or two. Kind of weird to be back in a stick and brick house since we've been gone for almost 2 months. :|

Going to get some 1-1/2" angle and build a new roll out drawer for my basement. My present one was originally a hanging rack, then a rack on rollers suspended in the ceiling and now a floor mounted rack that was extended and has no floor in it. New one will be longer with a floor and sides similar to Weezer's and HSVbamaBob's.

Fixed the electric side of the WH. Just because the element looks fines doesn't mean it is. Zero resistance .....

Called to check on it's progress in warranty. They can't seem to find a leak in the window I showed them. There's a dirt trail, plus a big spot of dirt in the bottom of the sill where it puddled, and you can push the glass out of the frame with one finger, but there's nothing wrong with it.

I spent too much time in the dealer service world to tolerate this.

Well, just about got it finished. Being the cheap skate I am, I made my own swinging handles (4) out of 5/16" dia rod and 3/8" nuts. Trying to decide whether to make the door side end a 2 pc with the top 6" on a piano hinge to make it easier to load. Have to make a trip to Lowes for the hinge. After I get the end made, it will be dis-assembly time so TOWTA can work her magic with a paint brush/roller.

Our ceiling light for the bathroom came in today. Sneak has to get that replaced before the trip.

I have a whole sack of inside lights that I removed from ours that I will give Sneak when you get here. They are all incandescent.

My basement has new lights that interfere with TV signals! I don't usually watch TV and and unload stuff from the basement at the same time. They were pre-dumpster diving product left behind after changing them out. Next year we need to plan the dumpster location so it is well lit for night time use!

Ours are LED, OC. I just checked this one...it's LED as well. Should be an easy change out...just wire in the base and snap the cover on. 2 wires

If you hook it up backwards it blows the fuse and the little module inside. A newer tech did so at Goshen by mistake..
