Since it was so nice out yesterday I decided to get some work done to the camper. It all started with the general spring clean out of all of the "stuff" that didn't come out in the fall. That went well so I replaced the hooks on the bunk end bungee cords that needed changing last summer.
I figured why not get the water system flushed out in preparation for our North Carolina trip in two weeks. New anode rod for the water heater, flushed out the pink stuff and found out the water pump must not have sucked up enough of the antifreeze during winterizing- it developed a leak. Quick trip to the parts store and an easy swap out now we have a quiet pump again.
Feeling like I was really making progress I decided to finally swap out the thermostat with a digital one my sister in law gave me over a year ago. They upgraded to a fancy programable and had this nice basic digital looking for a home. Now I can actually see how warm it is and easily set it to where we like it.
To top off the weekend of pop up maintenance I recaulked the shower and toilet seams.
Cora and I will probably have dinner outside tonight and make a packing list for our week in NC.
Two weeks ago i ordered new bearings and seals for my pop up, this past weekend Jamie and i took the hubs off and pulled the old bearings and packed the new ones then installed the new ones and the seals. Of course I watch about 10 online videos and consulted the mayor several times to make this all happen. Thanks Joe for building up my confidence so I could accomplish this. Took about 40 minutes each side . Well worth the feeling knowing I will pulling a camper with fresh bearings and fresh grease.
