I tested all the appliances today and everything in the motorhome is working like it should!! I did find a coolant leak from the surge tank sight glass, I need a new flat washer to get it fixed. I sealed all around the roof vents so we should not have any leaks if it rains. I fixed the leak on the dodge. 4 weeks till vacation!!!!

I broke down and ordered the sensors for the tire pressure monitor system for the motorhome. The command center for the towed brake kit already has the program installed, I just needed the sensors. I would hate to have a blowout on that big rascal. If I do this should let me know and hopefully I can pull over before I have any major damage to the rig. Only thing left on the want list now is a new sat dish, I might do that next year or I may wait and do an in motion one later.

I had 2 blow out's on the old Winnebago, once driving it to Winder GA, and again on the way back. Left front on the way up, right front on the way down. Luckily I could change them out myself. No spare or way I could change out a tire on this big boy.
The new sight glass and o-ring is suppose to arrive today. UPS is saying 5 to 7 days on the pressure sensors. Going to wash the roof of the motorhome this weekend, going to be super easy now that I have it rubber coated like it suppose to be.
Rode the bike to work this morning, was a little nippy for my old bones. Should be nice for the ride home.

I not going to do the faster to fun the suite has most of the same bennies. I had a spare for both the bird and Monaco. Road service pays for a change but if you dont have a spare the pay for road service but not tire or mounting the new tire on your rim. if you have ti buy a tire on road just spread them cheeks

I thought about buying a rim and tire but don't know if I have a big enough space in the belly to hold it. The new sight glass and o-ring came in for the surge tank yesterday, I just screwed it in the hole last night to make sure it fit correctly. I will finish installing it and making sure it doesn't leak tonight. I got the replacement tag for our trailer during lunch yesterday. It was a fairly simple process and only took 45 minutes. It shows the tire pressure sending units of for delivery but then it also says estimated delivery is Oct 2nd. Seems kinda strange. Everything is coming together!!

you should have on bay wide enough. easy to check measure diameter of tire . maybe the center bay or the pass thru bay. the mail tracking system all depends on a post office employee doing their job and scanning the package

I got the new sight glass installed and no more coolant leak!! I am charging the tablet and command hub for the tire pressure monitoring system and get the stuff paired up and working this weekend. I am also going to wash the rig this weekend. Our magic bands should be delivered on Saturday!
I reserved a camping for the Saturday on the way down, not at Disney but about 2 hours away. With military discount less than 50 bucks a night.

HA HA
It always has a way of getting longer all by itself.
The new sockets for the dodge tag lights should be in today, neither one work and both are trashed. Next month a new rear bumper and hopefully it will be good for a while and I won't have to do anything to it over the winter.
Wife's 4 wheeler is at the bike shop so I don't have to mess with that
Next thing is getting the 79 to run again!
