After a couple days of single digit cold, I took the coach batteries back out to Sunny, started the engine and the generator. Everything cranked off without a hitch. Sat in the coach wishing I was enjoying the kite festival camper70 wrote about.

suspension upgrade
While waiting for spring,researching changing the suspension to the MORryde SRE4000. When we had disc brakes added last year, was advised to upgrade the suspension on the 2014 33CKTS.

Installed a Blue Ox baseplate to the toad and mated it up to the MH with a ReadyBrute towbar system. More work than I expected, but that’s the way things usually work out.

When I had the blue ox baseplate installed the whole front end had to come off my Spark. So I understand your point.

I only had to remove the Wrangler JK front bumper and a piece of trim for the Blue Ox. The obstacles to getting to the firewall in order to drill access points for the ReadyBrake cables were everywhere. Solved the issue by removing the left front wheel and bumper. That opened up lots of room. Total job was about seven hours (working alone).

That's not promising considering this is on my spring to do list.

I guess you’re talking about the fender removal. It’s easy...five 10mm bolts and four plastic “upholstery” pins. Then, just pop it off like you remove an interior door panel. It’s on YouTube.

I got up on the roof to clean off all of the snow before the big melt down. Look what my foot found under the snow.

Don't feel alone. Many of the "I got on the roof to clean off the snow" threads denote something getting broken.
Honestly, I'm not sure why people do.
They sit on lots and at storage with feet of snow on them.

Went to storage to check on the TT. Taking her out Friday to do the wheel bearings. Tires were good and battery at 3/4. Noticed some rubber along the roof drain channel was buckled.

It was snowing here today so I had to work inside. The Class B Sprinter camper conversion is near complete. It was pretty low cost because I had most of the parts on hand. However, it features:
- Right hand drive
- Sleeping for 2 in the rear
- A flip down table
- Single burner stove
- Fresh water sink
- A side entry door, swinging side and a pop top for easy access.
In the following week, I'll be adding a towing package.

I've stepped on a few vent caps & that was just doing regular maintenance/washing!
