I will get batteries and filters thru work. They stock a ton of cat and Donaldson filters and what they don't have they can get at cost. Cat has some good fuel conditioner and I get a heck of an employee discount on everything.
I want to change all the fluids and filters and belts on the coach and gen set before we go the the beach. I also want a set of spare fuel filters and belts for both. I also need to get a decent set of tools from Harbor freight for the motorhome. Good thing is I am not in a rush and have some time.

I will have to see and let you know.
Here is a pic of me and my little guy. I stopped at the flying J in Macon for fuel. I filled up and the wife went in to get us some lunch. He had a ball running up and down the motorhome while we ate lunch. He was super upset when we put him back in the hummer so we could go home.

I found all the original owners manuals last night while I was looking around the coach. It was in the only compartment that I didn't look in while we were looking at it at the dealer. The sewer drain stuff and water hose came in yesterday from amazon. I also got the few little things we had left over from the last motorhome out of the basement and into the coach.
I have a bunch of tree limb trimming down the driveway to keep them from hitting the RV. This thing is massive compared to the first one we owned.

I am glad I didn't go the trailer idea. Yes it has auto levelers but I forget the name brand. CW installed a new fire extinguisher and a new C02 monitor for free. I found my red reflective vest but I need to get some red warning triangles too. Trying to have all the bases covered just in case. I am going to HF on the first and get a set of tools to keep on board.
I want to get a dish receiver for the RV and get the in motion sat working. I also want to do a TV upgrade on both the TVs because they are all the old tube type.

You are not required to have them, but it is good. Also you dont stop weigh stations. You may have to stop for ag inspections

I got the starter pulled off the ford tractor and the starter drive switched over, just have to reinstall it. For some reason the battery in the Lightning was dead when I went to take the trash off. Winterized the water system on the RV. Being out in the cold and wind all day today I feel like poo poo.

Didn't start out that way.
The wife is going out today to get 2 turkeys she wants for her birthday present. I will finish up the starter on the tractor and see if I can get the DVD player to play on the TV in the RV. I need to cut down a bunch of limbs down my driveway that rubbed on the coach when I was bringing her home.
Other than wanting to get the starter back on the tractor and having to put a new igniter in the mom in-laws oven today nothing is pressing and can wait till we get a little bit warmer weather. We are a little over 100 days till the cruise and I can't wait!

Very successful day !
The motorhome monitor said the LP tank was full, the gauge on the tank said 1/2. It has an emergency shutoff valve that was not getting power. The LP leak detector did not have a lead to go down to turn on the valve. I went to home depot got some pipe and took the valve out of the LP system. The stove works, the front heater and the refrigerator all work on gas!! Can't tell about the rear heater yet because it needs a new thermostat, which I have but not installed. No water in the water heater so can't check that out either.
Fixed the stove at mom in-laws too so it was a good day!
