New to us 1997 Thor Residency

last month we Bought a 1997 MH 30k on the clock.33' with 2 slides.
I knew it needed some minor fixes I could do and we like the one payment and done Idea.
we have had it on 3 short trips and I have been fixing things I find and that pop up
the belts and hoses are original, the vent for the stove didn't work and the flapper on the vent was broke .all little stuff. the biggest problem is My body dosen't like doing that work anymore. I was forced to do the belts when it tossed the alternator belt 100 miles from home. we made it 65 miles on the drive battery then I hooked the house batteries to the coach and got home .
got the belts changed. a 1 hour job 30 yrs ago now it took 2 days. now im working on the hoses its been a week so far mostly trying to get the right upper and lower radiator. sorry for the length of the post..I will go back to lurking..

Congrats on the MH. As I've gotten older it takes me twice as long to get half as much done as when I was younger. Fortunately, I'm in no rush.
