I accomplished two of my planned "improvements" on the RV today. I spent from 07:00-9:00 on top of our 12'10'' rig installing two MaxxAire II vent covers. For the non-rv'ers out there.. this allows you to keep the powered air vents open, even in the rain or while driving. Not a difficult project but tedious and messy with the sealant that needs to be applied. The original sealant needs to be cut away to accept the metal brackets, then things resealed. Not fun on the roof for someone as mature as me.
This picture shows pine needles as well as the two covers, (one behind the round TV antenna,) and the front AC unit, fridge vent cover and bathroom skylight.
And, I spent from 2:30-4:00 underneath our rig installing a Steer-Safe system. For the non-rv'ers out there.. this device stabilizes the steering and keeps the rig from being blown around by cross-winds and semis. It also is a big assist in the event of a front tire blow-out from what the videos show. Info Here Again... not a difficult project but messy with the grease and wrenches and sockets and heavy parts. Not fun under the bus for someone as mature as me. (A complete description of what is involved is shown at THIS LINK when I installed one on our previous coach)
But.. I feel really good this is done. We will be ready for our next trip with Bob and Barb Diehl to Kerrville.
Two additional "improvements" yet to make... stay tuned.
