Today I got the Rockford Fosgate speakers installed inside the camper. Big Difference in sound!



Then I sat down on the couch, admiring the new sound. 2 1/2 hours later after I woke up I cleaned up the floor, put tools away and went back inside the house

I'm jealous, if I fell asleep in mine today, I'd turn into a popsicle.

LOL... it was cold today!! 22 in the camper when I started. Had a little 1500W "utility" heater, much like the old Titan milkhouse heaters if you are familiar with those... with the sun shining, the heater going, and me in there working on the speakers, it got up to 67 inside according to the accu-rite thermometer.



With a jacket on, it was quite comfortable!!

I got tired of messing with the paper towel cardboard rolls holding the microwave carousel so I cut some food saver cardboard rolls and glued foam on to the ends. Hopefully this will prove to be more useful as the paper towel rolls were not holding up well and I had to cut and replace too often.Click image for larger version

Looks like it will work well. I use a piece of pool noodle cut to size which does similar and works great too.

Just got back from our shakedown cruise after de-winterizing. Hung some more hooks for my ball caps. Hung a new Clothes hook for DW. Tested my bumper mod where I moved the spare tire, added a case for my Wastemaster System and moved the receiver I had mounted to store the hitch while camping. (It's no longer a shin buster. The 2X4 simply serves as a bumper or spacer as the arms of the brace for the box was about 2" too long. Best of all tried out my Anderson levelers. I think I'm in love.

We do nothing with no issues, sounds like i need to do something and we have a pool so it sounds like the pool noodle method is in my near future

I'm not sure, I could be wrong, but if you put the levers under the tire, I think they work better, I had them 1 time, and I use to drive the wheel on top of them. Are you using them for Chocks? Maybe I can't tell by the photo. Glad you had a good shake down...[emoji196]

Not to the rig, but we got to a campground yesterday.

After having the camper plugged into the pedestal for a while with a couple of air conditioners on, the pedestal was very warm. Maintenance came out and replaced the double-pole 50amp breaker. He said it was probably the 15th he's replaced today. Apparently it's hot here in Florida!

I think I'm wrong it looks like you might have drove up on them, maybe not much but it kinda looks like that. When a person uses them, they do the job, I never did like the bag of blocks.

Revbilly: I agree with Witch Doctor - you didn't use your levelers correctly. (Either that or you're simply using them as chocks and not levelers.) Here's a pic from their website:



You roll up on the larger ones until you're level, then put the smaller ones underneath. See this video:

Should have done it long ago -- after reading about the factory tires blowing.
Did ours blow -- no.
Bought 5 new Goodyear the other day from Discount Tire.


Off to Borrego Springs next week -- good year for flowers.

Rainy day

Listened to the rain on the roof....pulled the covers up a little higher and went back to sleep.

Ordered new Endurance tires for the long trip (Mesa- Waterloo Ontario) at end of month

Just got my rig back after lending it to a friend until their new house was completed. Went to re-winterize it and found the pump wouldn't run (all lines are clear they were on park water) I put an electric heater in the pump compartment for 18 hours and the pump now works and my rig is winterized again. Week or so more and I'm going camping.

This is the breaker. You can see the discoloration on the contact point.

Ignore the white nails... I let the neighbor kid have some fun!

I hope they did your toe nails to I think red would have been better for you myself, but we all make choices...

Thanks to everyone who commented about the correct way to use the Anderson Levelers. I did watch the video, I guess I didn't watch it close enough, or forgot. We didn't have to raise the one side very far, as you can see and almost didn't use them, but they were new tools right? And you've got to use new tools, it's a rule. Anyway, thanks for the clarification. I'll remember next time. Maybe I'll even look for a sight where I really have to use them. I've learned so much from this site. Thanks.

Hooked up my new Clearsource dual water filter setup on Saturday. This thing is a beast- sturdily made, big filters, and it hasn’t impacted water pressure/flow. I’m quite pleased with it!

Now, hopefully my pictures will be right-side up.

Wasn't today but was in January...been looking for this thread, I knew it existed as everyone has a What Did You Do thread...

Just figured I would add our starting point pic - upgrading from an '07 Sun Valley popup to our '18 21SS ROO.

I did buy a solar battery maintainer yesterday and plan to install it today before the rain comes.
Don't have room to store her at our house yet as we still have the pup there. We are gifting the pup to good friends of ours who lost theirs to mold 3 years ago. It's also where our ROO is being stored so maybe the pup is storage payment and now they can join us camping!
