Haven't been doing much but did get a few things done, I have been busy fixing other things around the house and doing a lot of work for other people.
I dropped my camera and broke it so I don't have very many photo's of my work, I did recently buy a new one so have a few pictures of the work I have done.
Took the black tank out so I could get the dump valves and piping out, I had bought some rebuild kits for the dump valves on eBay and rebuilt them but the valve to the black tank still leaks so I will buy new valves and install them.
Took the rear inside panel off to check if the saggy rear end had been fixed and it has, the PO did a superb job of doing it, the PO used a piece of steel flat stock the length of the rear for reinforcement, I think I'll take that out and paint it just so I don't get any galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals.
I found when I took the rear panel off that mice had chewed up the wires for the tail lights where they go through the ribs also found when I took the center ceiling panel out that mice had tunnels in the insulation from the rear all the way to the front. I had set some traps out for them and hadn't caught any. One day I left a half eaten sandwich in the trailer just to see if there were mice still in the trailer and the next morning it was gone, I thought I don't have mice I have rats. I set out more traps and some sticky paper and the next morning I had caught one mouse, haven't caught any in the three weeks sense then.
Took the A/C unit and antenna off the roof, the antenna was leaking and it needs to be rebuilt, the A/C unit came off because it was caving in the roof. I beefed up the roof and brought the A/C unit to heating contractor just to give it a once over I covered the holes with some sheet aluminum and used waterproof tape to seal it up, I'll reinstall them when the weather warms up.
I found an airforums member who was redoing there trailer and getting rid of some bunk beds, the kind the fold in half and down to make a backrest for the bottom bed. They are in Kentucky, I drove down there and picked the beds up and a dinette they tore out.
Last Saturday the whole family scrubbed the entire interior, took about 5 hours but it looks much better now.
Hopefully if I don't get asked for more favors I shoud be able to get a lot more work done on the trailer in short order.
