That is a lot of batteries. Wow.

If we get a few nice days I plan to install an ARP device on my fridge, add a 20W solar battery maintainer, add two or three new 12v power outlets to my dashboard, install my steering stabilizer, do the front and rear CHF, add a quick connect propane fitting so I can easily connect my Blackstone grill and a couple of lesser projects!

Because we are staying at home, I have completed a lot of tasks on my "Honey Do" list. For the RV I will install the TPMS system purchased a couple of weeks ago, build some drawers to replace shelves in the extra deep pantry, wash and wax the coach, install the EMS, fix a pull down shade, install reflectix in cabinets, find and remove a dead mouse, check on the Cummins recall notice, and add draw strings and pulls to the shades around the coach.

This should b=keep me out of the bars and off the streets for a day or two.

I washed my RV. I like using ZipWax on my 5th wheel. I was it twice a year with good results. For months nothing sticks to it.

Next is to clean the roof. I already have the cleaner and soft brush.

We are supposed to depart for Florida April 2nd. We'll see. I am not very optimistic.

Getting itchy to do something!!!! But the way we have things set up we have too many moving parts.

Uncover MH
Move MH to get to the shed where the
boat is
Pull out the boat
Replace boat with snowmobile trailer
Move MH to where the snowmobile
trailer was (out from under the dirty
trees and to power hookup)
Put the boat in the lake, but wait, that’s
still a block of ice
Hate to leave the boat sitting outside til
ice is gone

So, dead in our tracks, we’ll just keep adding to the list of things to do.
Oh cry crocodile tears for us lol!!!!

Be safe and stay healthy!!!

Washed n waxed it. Bought a new 10" Sealy memory foam spring mattress that were absolutely loving. BTW, this mattress comes in a plastic clamshell case with wheels. It fits in the basement perfectly...bonus. Currently "stuck" here in Oregon, but I have a feeling the party will soon end.

Determined MAX capacity of my outdoor fridge. 78 12oz cans. The throughput has been extraordinary!

I have a MaxxAir fan with remote arriving later this week. When the weather allows, I'll install the fan along with a new tv antenna. And, since we didn't get to Florida this winter, it's time to give the motorhome a good wash and wax. I also need to check the roof, reseal as needed and give it a good cleaning.

Our Trek is still in the side driveway inside it's cover. I run the generator once a month and, during some warm spells, was able to remove & replace a leaky power brake hose. I saw gas at $1.72 yesterday but know this will be back up by the time we are able to travel .
