That thing is SWEET. Now. 
As for me, today I added some dye to the dash AC so hopefully tomorrow I can find the freon leak. While I was at that I hooked up a scope to the ignition to see what might be causing a misfire and loss of power. Lean firing line in #7 and #8. Well, I was meaning to do an injector service anyway. Already bought the o-rings. So second item on the to-do list tomorrow is to pull the injectors for a look-see I guess. Ford 7.5, so not a terribly big deal.

Air brakes
Had trouble with my brakes keeping the air pressure up. I replaced air dryer first then the governor with no results. So I thought must be compressor so I got the top end kit. I took it apart and found a piece broken and replaced it.
Started it up and pressure went up great so I thought I had fixed it, not so quick. After about twenty miles down the road air pressure dropped without even using the air Sooo back to work.
I pulled the top of the compressor back off and everything was fine😕. I figured out that while it was cooled off it would pump up but would not stay up. So I decided to get another governor this time I bought one from Bendix ( the mfg.) of the compressor and not an off brand. That was the problem. I was lucky because all this happened about twenty miles from home.
Just a heads up on this problem.

Did my injector service and cleaned the expected "mud" I found in the injector inlets. Went OK and it definitely runs better.
Added AC dye but haven't spotted the AC leak yet. Darnit.
Been dry for weeks and it finally rained, hard, and my freshly resealed bathroom skylight didn't leak a drop, so two out of three successes.

We purchased a 95 Gulfstream DP. The floor was rotted out. I finished the floor in the front and just finished putting the kitchen cabinets back in with a new sink. Attacking the bathroom next.

 Welcome to iRV2 Jbertram2
Replaced the push button on/off switches on the headboard sconces. Both were pretty much gone.

What have you fixed, repaired or maintained lately"
Replaced the front dometic a/c cover after it disintegrated in the heavy 25-30 mph winds with gust to 40 traveling across I80 in Iowa.
$175, but beggars can’t be pick choosy, and I wanted it now!

Replaced ice maker water hose with heating element. Replaced propane regulator account small leak.
Also replaced all my tires with same brand, Toyo M-154. Even though they all looked good at seven years. Replaced the two cranking batteries with Napa Industrial 12 volt. Same brand had been on for seven years and were starting to show weakness if the coach was not run in a month time.

Just noticed the fridge was at 45 deg and freezer at 21. No lights on the control panel.
Luckily, I had an older spare dinosaur board, swapped it in, and now it's working.
Found the 5v fuse blown on the old board. Tomorrow, I'll replace the fuse, put the board back in and see if the old board is actually good. It would be nice to know just why the fuse blew though. That board was new a year ago so maybe under warranty still.
As a backup, I could have removed all the water and beer from the outside 3.3cuft fridge and put the fridge stuff in that and the freezer stuff in the freezer in the shed. Beats using an ice chest and dry ice.

Replaced the motor and control board in the furnace. Fires off every time and is nice and quiet!
