Camping calls, a one night spot booked w/full hookups at the local state park on the lake coming up. Time to wash the roof, and the pollen from the camper. I need a break, not from staying home, as I've worked a regular schedule through all of this, but been a regular slave to home projects. Last 2 weekends were removing asbestos from the rental property in preparation for demolition.
Last week I decided to do something with my large leveling blocks. They originally travelled in the front pass- through, but I hated putting them in there wet. Then they moved to the small aluminum box I put on the back of the camper, but they took up too much space in there. I decided to make a bracket to hang them under the camper . I made it to hang from the bolts that hold the steps onto the frame. I bought a short piece of 3/4" tube at the farm store, but the rest was made from scraps I had hanging around. I'm so happy with it, I think I will make one for the small leveling blocks.
We are up in the White Mountains for the long weekend. The blocks are visible in front of the steps @ our Wallyworld stop for supplies.
Finally got around to making a bracket to hang my small leveling blocks under the camper.
Parked under the carport since last November when last used, and what a mess. Mostly pollen, and some mildew over the roof seams. Well It's clean now.
The splotchy look actually has something to do with how it was glued down. It's otherwise as clean as it gets.
We finally camp this coming weekend WOOHOO!!!! So what if they are calling for rain!
I found a propane leak at the tank/regulator area, Amazon delivered replacement parts today, Aired tires with a new Via-air pump, even topped off the Ex's tires, got to 80 psi with ease. Loaded groceries in it, added water to tank. Only thing left are the clothes.
Planning a trip to the St Anthony sand dunes with my boys for a graduation present. I've got a couple of buddies that are letting me borrow their RZRs and I plan on bringing my ATV and dirtbike. None of the toys will have paddles, but this will be our first trip to the dunes and will mostly be sightseeing and general mischief. If we really like it, I've got a line on a rolling sand rail frame that I'd consider building into a nice little play buggy. I've got a couple of snowmobiles that can provide a donor engine setup. The little one is a (80hp) 530cc Arctic Cat with reverse chaincase and the other is a (125hp) 670 Skidoo with forward-only case. Could be a lot of fun!
Have assembled all the parts from the rear bumper hitch upgrade on my Jayco Baja, but doubt I'd have the time to get it finished before we leave in 3 days. Getting tired of not having all my toys in one location and the ability to double-tow would be a great benefit in this situation. In the meantime, I've reached out to a couple of RV owners on Outdoorsy to possibly rent while we're at the dunes. With Covid going on, the public restrooms are shut down and you need to rely on your RV bathroom, which my Jayco doesn't have. I use a porta-potty and outdoor shower when boondocking, but the campgrounds don't allow for that if it isn't fully self-contained. Oh well, should be fun no matter how it all turns out!
I've got a small supercharger sitting in the shop that I plan to add to my Samurai once my boy is done driving it (we're rebuilding the engine in his Samurai). If I don't end up using it for that purpose, I may just slap it onto the sand rail.....
Camper finally rolled, first time in 2020. As with everything else 2020 it is pouring rain. We are at Goose Creek State Park near the Pamlico Sound in Washington, NC. Will post pics later when the pouring rain lets up.
Ex did great, I did pump the bags some this time and with the rig level she seemed to tow a little better. I had to make a very hard stop, the Ex's antilock kicked in but she held it straight and the pedal felt good.
