Got some mods done on the RV. Had a small water leak when pressure filling last month and took the access panel off to investigate. That got fixed under warranty, but every RV I've had that dumb panel comes off at least twice a year, and saw more dead space than usual. Decided to kill two birds with one stone.
View into storage from factory.
The dead space.
Much more useful space (sorry... crappy pic)
Access panel is now hinged, used magnetic latches to keep closed.
Already has saved me unscrewing it once, since the clowns at the dealer screwed up a pex fitting fixing the faulty valve. Which we only discovered since they put two of the valves ***** on backwards.
Went out for a easy saturday that turned into a event. Snagged a stirrup in a bridge and the horse fell off the bridge with sudden stop. While I was trying to undo the saddle , the horse moved and knocked me into the river. It was snow melt water and the cold was shocking. but I got back up and got the horse free with the help of some friends. Wrung out my cloths and put them back on and finished the ride. Although I was pretty cold.
If any of you want a good laugh, you can watch my Youtube video of me getting dunked here.
Nope! I wasn't laughing either. Glad neither of you were hurt.
Just another rainy day in Georgia! Expected to get up to 3" from Monday through Wednesday, but they've just updated it and now we are supposed to get up to 4" today and tonight!! You would know I am working
Hope all is well guys. Just doing a little catching up.

Chad .........I like your hinged panel "fix". I will steal that Idea !!
It is a shame that most shop people can't think through and repair....and then don't ever test it.
Finally got the lawn tractor ready for the season.......
Change the oil and oil filter.....Air filters......spark plug.....blades sharpened......battery replaced.
Runs great ........got some back yard mowed....
5 eggs from the hens......
Water and food plus some bread for a treat.....
Then played ball with Heidi......she is happy.....
Serviced the genset on the camper and mounted up the G614s today.
Of course the boneheads at the dealer who ordered the wheel i needed were quite proud of themselves when they told me the wheel had some light scratches and sent it back. So I'm stuck using an ugly steel wheel this weekend.
Howdy Gang! After much reading, I have finally caught up.
Jodi and I enjoyed our weekend tent-camping trip, although the weather could have been more cooperative. We dodged a few storms while camped, and had to retreat to the truck a couple of times. It was also very hot and muggy. At least we had plenty of refreshing beverages on hand.
I ordered new wheels, tires and valves stems for my RV last week, and they arrived a few days ago. I will get them mounted up soon, then we have to plan when to go to OK to install the wheels, and drag the RV to our home and begin working on making it usable again. Our next camping trip ought to involve shelter from rain and cold a/c to fight the heat and humidity.
Glad everyone seems to be doing well for the most part - especially Jon and the horse! I am surprised at how little activity the forum has seen in the last 5 days, so I assume everyone is out recreating.
Chad, I ordered plain Jane white wheels for mine, and Maxxis tyres in the appropriate size in 10 ply, but have yet to open the shipping boxes to check for any damage. Regardless, they will be far better than what it on my rig currently.
Been pretty busy for the first few hours of each of the last two nights, but heading home in less than an hour to get some sleep. Other than that, enjoyed a little R&R in the woods last weekend.
