Taking the motorhome to work on Thursday. I have the fan for the dash AC condenser, the slide out cover arrived today. The Jack tuner and mounting base will be in on Wednesday along with the new thermostat. That will hopefully be the last of things to do on the motorhome before the trip. If we can at least get the condenser fan installed and slide out cover on I can do the rest at home.

Picked up a little yesterday but not overwhelming.
The boss is OK with it because there is not a level spot in my yard. The fan is under the coach just behind the front wheels so he would rather me bring it into work than to get hurt trying to do it at home.

good boss. got the parts truck home, that was an all day fiseco. had to leave here drive to the land to get trailer 1.5 hrs drug trailer an hour to get truck. Since it is a 1 ton with the guide pins for wheels my 3/4 wheel sit on there crooked. We had floor jacks, chains and a comelong. we would winch a little bit take a break. we finally loaded out at 330. took a while to get home top speed was 45 since it loaded backwards and the front wheels were hitting fenders. had a little sway above 45.

Hugh it's sounds like you had an adventure I once had bringing home a 1953 Rambler American many years ago.
Good to hear from you Jacob!
The wife ground guided me and we got the motorhome moved around so I can drive it to work today. The Jack antenna, the mounting base and the new thermostat came in yesterday, got to love Amazon! Going to go ahead and fill up the LP and fuel tank today. I noticed I need to do some limb trimming in the yard to keep them from scraping the motorhome.

I drove over the new drainpipe with no issues. I then stopped at the corner store up the road to fill up with diesel. I popped open the fuel door and there was a nice huge wasp nest with about 30 wasp's clinging to it. A quick shot of starting fluid I had by the door and they were history. That stuff works better than wasp spray. $190.00 dollars worth of fuel and I was on my way. Made it to work just fine. I forgot how much power that thing has when I'm not pulling the Hummer behind it.
I'm not old. I'm seasoned!

The first time going over the pipe with that much weight, I figured it would be OK but I held my breath for a second.
67.4 gallons of fuel. That will get me to Orlando and probably back to Macon before I would have to stop again for fuel.
Stopping at the campground and filling the LP on the way home.
My motorhome is a haven for wasp nests for some reason. Starting fluid knocks them out instantly, better than any wasp spray. I have a fuel door on each side of the coach, the one I opened this morning was on the passenger side next to the coach entrance door where the spray was.

Hes getting better, just had a really bad spasm when he was doing something he shouldnt have been doing and I told him Id do it. But he did it anyway.
No i dont. It was for the house, he brought some tools, and I had some. Set up some body stands and made some tables, cut what we needed for everything. Im fairly happy the way it turned out. Now I need to go back and add details and give it a second good coat of paint.

All motorhome are wasp havens. I did not think you had starting problems that needed engine killer.
