Lucky YOU! Wish I could get on the road - for an extended period that is.

I bought my A/S last year and have found plenty of things needing some attention. First order was a thorough cleaning - not that it wasn't clean - but I just wanted to wipe down all the surfaces! Then I replaced the window screens as the rubber splines were worn. The axles were, by far, my largest item. Since then, I found that the univolt charger/converter was missing (replaced by an auto charger) and I would like to replace it with a new one. Right now I'm focusing on making Ophelia water-tight. I am removing a lot of the old sealants and replacing with correct ones (lots of scraping and expletives) and also replacing all the old window, door, compartment and vent gaskets. It's slow work! I also painted the interior - more work than I anticipated. The fun stuff was new drapes and upholstery. Hope you all have fun getting her ready for your trip!
