I see the other types of RV's having this type of thread. I did a search and could not find one here. 🙂

Yesterday, I drove mine to work to "excercise" it. I have driven it to work twice in the two weeks I have owned it.

In the two years I owned my Class C, I drove it to work ZERO times. :E

Since I've gotten the new B I've done the following

1. Repalced the GPS system and stereo with a custom Pioneer install including new backup camera, amps, speakers, sat radio and everything needed to go from a piss poor system to outstanding one that rocks and rolls.

2. Had all the windows done with a custom heat reducing tinting
3. Had a custom windshield sun reflector made
4. Bought a custom light weight trailer color matched to the B

Things to Do this winter before the seasons begins
1. Rip out bogus home theater replace with a custom install with blue Ray and iPod integration.

2. Have granit counter tops sealed and polished
3. Have custom draws made for under the rear seat.
4. Have rear and from table remade into maple from formica
5. Install fog lights.
6. Have all plastic painted to match unit

Since August,
-I have rebuilt the entire front suspension. New Springs, bushings ball joints, tie rod ends, ect.
-Got an Alignment.
-I have replaced the entire cooling system. Radiator and cap, timing chain, water pump, hoses, thermostat, Coolant temp sensor and sender. -Flushed heater core. Changed Oil and Filter.
-I have replaced my master cylinder and some brake lines.
Yesterday I found the new plastic reservoir on the new MC was leaking and swapped in my old reservoir.
-I replaced 4 feet of rusted roof gutter with aluminum C channel.
-I fixed all the other roof gutter rust.
-I repainted my whole fiberglass roof, and waxed it.
-Lubed my U joints
-Tuned up my DIY TV antenna.
-Adjusted 18 month old re manufactured steering gear(POS).
-Cleaned up and consolidated underhood wiring. Made it so rainwater can not drip onto wires or down firewall.
-Added a convenient 120 volt hookup.
-Resealed the windows.
-Removed and cleaned watered the batteries and posts and connections.
-Fabricated alternator Heat shield
Oh yeah, and I drove it a bunch too, since others seem to classify that as doing something to a vehicle.

The only thing I paid to have done was the Alignment.

My 22 year old Van has basically had everything rebuilt now. It costs me 48 dollars to register and 162 for liability insurance per year.

Today I get the fun of finishing my water pump repair 😞 Just replacing the pump head on the sure-flo for the coach. Would have been an easy job if I were pretzel man!

We are enjoying staying in Quartzite too though, so repairs or not, life is good!

Last night, I ran the fridge on AC and plan on switching to gas while shopping in Columbus OHIO today Christmas shopping. I am bringing a small TV (with converter box)to try out the antenna for the first time.

If my babe wears me out shopping, off I go to have a beverage and hopefully can get a game on the TV. GO BUCKS !

I think ours would like a vacation away from us! Since we live in it full time, it gets tons of attention 🙂 Taj has had fun the last few days hanging out with a few other vanhomes in Truth or Consequences New Mexico. We are headed to St George Utah tomorrow for a few more days then off to Quartzite for a while.

While here in NM, there have been quite a few guests come through Taj on little tours. Always doing our best to be vanbassadors!

I drained my water heater of vinegar and it looks like all the lime is gone. Yay, it worked! Now I can wet-vac the last of the water out of it and put the new anode rod in to finish the winterizing.

Took mine to Denver over the weekend. Saturday it was 78 degrees and beautiful, came back home Sunday and hit 40+ mph South winds for about 250 miles.
Put it back in warehouse today, cold and rainy, but plan to get it back out this weekend.

Been so nice I decide to wax the roof just the sides that you can see. Well that looked so good I ended up doing the whole top. Three weeks and I hope we will be somewhere in Florida.


It is supposed to be nice this weekend. I hope to do this also. :C
