About a week ago, I received an early Christmas present, the title to a 1995 Ford E-150 van, with a regency conversion package. I love it, I have been cleaning it, and working on the back, ever since. It has a few things that need tweaking, before I hit the road, so I am working on those now. I'll keep everyone posted.

My wife and I are traveling to the east coast and then over to the western states before returning to Alaska in April. This is our second trip in this 2004 Itasca Meridian IKP34H. We purchased it in 2009 with 17 thousand miles on it and now have a little over 32 thousand on it. Two trips up and down the Alcan highway and a circuit of the lower 48 states.

We were parked in a nice RV park in upstate North Carolina, about a hundred miles from our destination of Stanley N.C. As the temperature...

Wow....if anyone says this is easy to do then Bull. it was tough...but it looks really nice now..

Well the 1 inch trim package arrived today...looks like my Saturday will be very busy installing all new seam gasket on a 38Ft motorhome..

After that...new intake for the V10 air cleaner..

Figure I would post what I drive and Ride..I am very into my cars, bikes and my RV

Took the rear mud flap bracket which we are making a new set for each side in Stainless Steel and a new set of flaps..

Should be done this week..maybe install them this weekend..

New flaps...will be almost perfect..

Well, things are not going as planned here. We decided to take out a hill that blocks the view of incoming campers and makes the swing into the park a little tricky. It is nearly done, but it is taking longer than anticipated. Hopefully it will give campers a place to pull over to register allowing people already in the park to go around them and get in without waiting!
We had planned to go visit my familly for Thanksgiving (it's our annual tradition) but my husband is having some medical...

This is our first shot at doing a blog but I think you will find it funny and entertaining-RICH & AUD

Took a small section of the trim off today so that I could take it home to measure it. I have figured I think what I need...

Also bought a 6 ft fiberglass ladder today on Craigs List...$25 and its perfect...now under the motorhome in one of the pass thru compartments..

The off to the local Ace Hardware store for a black Friday weekend sale..got a Craftsman Tool box for half price...will keep flares, support materials I might need if I have any problems along the road......

Took and painted the front windshield wiper arms yesterday so that they look good. Many years had been hard on the arms so it was sand them...primer then and a nice coat of rust-0-leum and they look like new....took the drivers rear mud flap arm and flap off so I can make new ones for the missing passenger side...going to do it in stainless tubing..stronger and will never rust...will bolt them back on and will look great..

Cleaned up the compartments on the entry side...need a long...

Well today off before our Thanksgiving dinner to put some electric heaters in the MH...

Turn off the Propane unit to save fuel

Since day one after I purchased the TST Model 507 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TST) (TPMS), I have had to remove sensors to add air when required. On the rear duals this was not so much of a problem since the sensor was sitting on an open valve stem which is connected to a Crossfire...

Less than 60 days to departure. Jeep still needs tow brackets and tow wiring. Plan to install them over Thanksgiving weekend. Trying to get accurate informaton from Dish is painfull! Bought the Anser dish, now just figuring out the plan. Itinerary planned to early April. Lots of free time!
Counting the days....

Leaving Dallas around the 10th of December enroute to Belize....anyone interested in joining is welcome. Hope to be in Belize by 12/20/12

Have you ever had your tires balanced but were not totally satisfied with the outcome? It can become a frustrating experience at times if you have to return to the tire shop over and over trying to get a smooth ride especially if it is a new set of tires that seem out of balance.
Many times the cause is not that the tire(s) is out of balance but that it is out of round. When repeated attempts to balance fail, what the tire tech should be doing is checking run-out on the tire to see if it...
