Just replaced the gaskets and ball in my Thetford electric toilet...it no longer held water and I was tired of seeing it dry when I went to use it

Not a job for the totally faint at heart because there was some stuff down there that might have been there for 10 years! I cleaned everything and greased some moving parts. It sure is nice knowing I am good for another 10 years!

Just added a new 12V usb charge outlet in the bedroom. We boondock a lot, so the ability to charge usb devices on 12v was appealing. Ran a new 12v line directly to the 12v distribution panel with a 10A fuse.4 plugs each rated at 2A.

I also just fixed my Lippert Levelers. I thought I suffered from the dreaded seal issue that plagues these pumps, but it turned out to be a simple o-ring.

The ATF was water contaminated, but I was able to clean it out and purge the system. It works great now.

I ordered a new Onan fuel pump (Airtex E11009) and filter. My RV is now going on 13 years old, and last summer my Gen just stopped. Just as we arrived at our first destination (and about 4 hours of use) as we pulled up, jut stopped. Seemed to work ok for the rest of the trip. A few days ago, was exercising the gen, and running the rear air, and about 10 minutes in, same thing, just stopped. Gen has almost 350 hours on it. Getting into the range when they go.

After a bit of research, this is characteristic of a bad fuel pump/filter. Bought a replacement from Amazon, about 60 bucks for both, and plan on replacing next weekend. Only have about 30 ours on the oil from last use, so I think I am ok there. Maybe change plugs too.

Also did a trans service. Dropped the pan and replaced the filter and put in new. Didn't flush, but the fluid and pan looked really good, so I feel good about it.

Fixed my bathroom fart fan and skylight, and my fantastic vent (the switch was bad).

Been a busy summer so far.

Replaced kitchen sink faucets.
Replaced hose from kitchen sink drains to grey water tank. It had cracked open right under the bottom drawer. So that's what caused that wretched smell last season!
Put UV protestant on roof.

UV protectant, sorry. Darn auto-correct.

Good catch, and here I was wondering why you didn't put on a infra red Catholic!

Scoured the roof and picked up materials for a recoat. Pulled the generator to replace a bad front rotor bearing. Also replacing brushes, filters, plugs, and, unfortunately, the coil. Welded up the cross brace between the forward jacks. Just a couple more things and I’ll be ready for a road trip.

I started a new thread concerning my repair of our power steps, if anyone is having issues with yours "chattering" while in operation it would be worth checking it out:

Gavin this is how I upgraded my bedroom TV. Should be similar to yours. 36" TV on a Cherry wood door I made and attached with hinges creating a nice storage space behind the old TV location.

Replaced 3 parts on the Norcold fridge so it once again operates on lp. Lubed slide seals, and changed out my aging group 24 batteries for a new set of group 27's.
