What did you do to your RV today?

Got the rear wall all buttoned up.

Also put on the roof vents and skylight. Hopefully this weekend I'll have help to put the rear cap on and get the AC's up there.
 
Got the rear cap back on.

Took a lot of shimmying around, sitting on the ground in the cold changed it shape enough to be a pain. Left it unscrewed, still needs to settle some. That butyl sealing tape is pretty hard at 40 deg. Might take a day or 2 to squash.
 
Definitely not ideal temps for that job.

Can you tarp the shop doors and torpedo heater it for a bit?
Doors close, it's the ridge vent and soffit venting that preclude heat. Hay barns weren't meant for heat, just ventilation.

But for this time of year it's actually really nice. The wrinkles mostly came out of the rubber on the back corner, so that's a win.
 
straight line laser?
It's not level and I'm not sure the trim was square to anything. I'm just trying to make a straight line between the endpoints.

Edit, my laser won't do slopes. At least I don't think it will.
 
Depending on how not straight it all is, probably best to forgo the chalk line and eyeball it about even instead or drawe it with a pencil

Eyeball can get a better fit overall

I bought a 16 way or some **** laser off temu for $16 and it's pretty ****ing awesome piece of chinesium.
Not sure if it can be locked out either though for slopes.
 
Testing out the new fridge to see hom long it will run on 1 of the new lifepo4 batteries. Rigged with spare inverter.

We'll see if those ching chong batteries are really 600AH.

Then I notice this.

Got it back home, nothing fell off so that's a win.

Now we'll see how good I did at making it waterproof.

It seems much quieter driving. That 8 gallons of glue and extra layer of plywood are doing something. Resealing the drivers window cut down on wind noise considerably.

Time to start on the interior now that there's not a 30min commute involved to work on it.

Awesome:grinpimp:
 
Working on our 1994 motorhome, Diesel pusher, Spartan chassis. Working on the brakes, They are air over hydraulic, One of the two master cylinders has been leaking for years and then last year it started to leak really bad. Hunted around all winter and found there is no parts to rebuild and no option for reman of the master cylinder. Only way is a new unit with air can and master with a ******ed high price. Bit the bullet and ordered it and swapped it out. Now need to bleed the system.
 
I finally got back to my toy hauler solar/charger/inverter project to wrap things up.

3x 165ahr Lifepo4 batteries with disconnect. Fuses are behind the near side. Victron smart shunt.

Victron Multiplus II, Cerbo GX and MPPT mounted behind the walls in my storage space. The black circle is a vent and there’s another one behind the Multiplus ii.

Storage area walls back in. Back one pushed back 4” and the side on pushed out 6” with a filler plate in the corner.

We always park in the shade, so no use hard mounting solar panels. Here’s the plug for the portable panels.
