Power cycled DC so In-Command would link up again.

Exercised the generator for 2 hours.

Added fuel stabilizer to the fuel station tanks

Lubed folding steps

I added a little wooden box that matches the interior color of the trailer for small misc. stuff.....note pad, pens, small flashlight, and four small hooks on the bottom of it for hanging keys on. Then I installed a 12" fan on the bedroom wall to help with air circulation. The bedroom wall was prewired with a recpt. and cable tv outlet, so I just used the ceiling recpt for the fan since we don't have or want a TV in the bedroom. The fan can oscillate or not, depending on your preference. I also added some Command strip hooks for hanging a couple of coats/jackets, as well as a couple of robe hooks in the bedroom. Nothing major, just little items of convenience.

Last Weekend = Laid sand and paver blocks to park on (only have had them in the backyard for two years now).

Past Week = Wash and Wax (one step). Lubed steps. Talked to it.

Today = Exercise genny. Wipe level up tubes with silicon. Talk to it more.

This Week = HOPEFULLY take it for a ride to a CG for a few days.

Beautiful day here in East Tennessee and I gave mine a bath and made it all shiny by waxing it. Getting ready to head over near Myrtle Beach to Carrollwoods CG in Tabor City NC.

Started loading all or at least some of the things I had in my old toy haulers into my new one. Looking for places to put things.

Looked at it, and reminded myself of the great time we had in Oregon for the eclipse.

Cleaned all the summer stuff off the slide-out tray on the back end. Put the bikes and ladder golf and miscellaneous stuff in the barn for the winter. Slid the tray in and it's good until spring.

Pulled the south end of a black tank wand out of the toilet drain. It broke while in use a the beginning of the season, and I'm just getting around to fishing it out. Wasn't too messy a job, just a pair of nitrile gloves, and a few Clorox wipes and it's all done. I gotta make it make longer if I want to use it again in this rig. It's almost four feet from the toilet valve to the bottom of the black tank.

Still have some food items to pull back into the house.

The holding tanks all need to be filled and drained before I think about winterizing. When we left the campground, it was a mad rush as usual at the dump station so I never trust that the tanks are empty and clean. It's much easier to do it at home at a more leisurely pace. And, I've got full city water pressure to help with the cleaning.

Plenty yet to do before the frost gets serious.

Nice looking setup. How did you like the levelers?

I think they stole Andersen's idea... other than the smooth and shiny surface that goes on the ground , they worked great. I had to run some sandpaper over the ground side to rough it up. They come too slick on that part. I also picked up a pair of rubber step covers to put on the ground if it is slick.

I am not sure what to do if I need more height than they can provide.

Combined with the level up lite, they can't be beat. I put them behind the tires and backed up until the green light came on. Viola, perfectly level. Then I had the kid put in the chock sides.

Over the weekend I replaced the leaf springs, put in never fail bushing kit and new equilizers. Got almost two inches of lift out of it. Only about 2" nose high now and no more squeeky suspension.

Next week hitch on the back of the 5th wheel is getting moved up, completely get rid of having to worry about departure angles.
