I for one have replaced a O2/LPG detector with the auto gas shutoff.
(would squeal all hours of the night, indicated lights showing malfunction)
Also a Dometic 310 Toilet (foot pedal broke, inside mechanism not servicable)
Front Electric Shade Motor (still in route)
(Motor wires twisted an tore to close to motor housing unrepairable)
Light bulb in Microwave (burt bulb)
All 3 weeks after Manufacture Warranty
I know the bulb wasnt covered, was surprised my Extended service plan doesnt cover the monitor.
When it rains it pours.

I'm still working on my unsual Norcold 1200 LRIM problem (it's been going on for over a year). Then, I have to get back to fixing the roof.

I've been laying under my OFF-ROAD 14RT trailer re-routing my PVC 3/4-conduit to a better location to keep the underbrush from trying to drag this section of PVC conduit off when I am back off the beaten path with my POPUP trailer. Thought I had the PVC conduit in a good spot but noticed underbrush found it again. Won't find it now as I have it buttoned down up against the POPUP underside flooring running next to the trailer frame getting from point A to point B...
As usual when you mess with something already installed the cables end up being TOO SHORT. I had to rip out the cable and make it about a foot longer to fit the new re-route. This particular PVC Conduit houses my battery bank DC VOLTAGE and DC CURRENT wiring to my meter panel inside the POPUP.
We had a couple of cooler days here so was fun doing some under the trailer maintenance things.
My next bigger project is mounting some take down antenna support tower sections for my emergency radio communications I play with for RACES-SKYWARN-MARS RADIO. I need to get up above the ground about 15-feet after I setup my trailer in the woods or on a mountain trail off a forest service road and just came up with some small lightweight 4-inch triangle aluminum tower sections that I can hopefully figure out a way to carry either under the trailer or across the bumper or even down the side of the trailer along the long frame section. Will need to mount on top of the bumper and snap in place to the side of the roof to get it up in the air about 15-feet. Being portable I will probably use web straps to go down to some 18-inch long earth augers anchors with a 3-inch blade. Then I can use this for the center fed HAM RADIO long wire dipole antenna I need to give me more local distance coverage for my HF radio. Always something to play with...

Our 96 Southwind is in the shop having the rubber pads between the tag axle and frame replaced. They rotted away.

Replaced an IOTA automatic transfer switch. Replaced 2 cables on the BAL Accu-Slide slide out; not an easy job. Installed a "stop" on the sliding bedroom door to prevent the second door (back door) from sliding too far if MH is not level.
I never had soooo much fun until I bought my RV's; always something to fix or modify. Just glad I am retired.

If I ever run out of things to do, I can always go around and check the cupboard doors. There always seems to be at least one that has come loose. Eventually the holes for every hinge will be "refilled" with toothpicks and wood glue. As a side job I change burned out light bulbs and clan A/c filters.
