You read my mind. I'll be posting pictures of everything I've done these past 2 weeks on Thursday when I get home. I've been a busy beaver!!

 

Be advised that if you painted the grill and screen frame with a spray can, it might not survive a hard rain. Learned that by painting a roof-air cover on a motorhome using Krylon, won't waste my time on that again.

 

Actually I did. I sanded both, primed and painted with high gloss Rustoleum. I've had really good luck doing this. I'll let you know how it holds up.

 

What are the pros and cons of those washers? What do they cost? Are there different kinds?
Anybody?

 

The washer I bought was $35. It cost me another $80 to get my truck steam cleaned to get all the grease off the 5th wheel and surrounding areas. I can't tell you the pro's and con's except there are no more globs of grease anywhere on my truck or trailer...clean as a whistle.

I got my 24x24x60" box installed on my trailer yesterday and my side box was removed from the truck to make room for the Rigmaster. I leave in a few hours for Vermont to get it installed. They are supplying me with a car and hotel room. They also called yesterday and said Rigmaster just announced a $500 discount on there unit or an extended warranty. They said it was going to take 14 hours to install the unit but I think it will take much less time since everything is open where they are installing the unit. Should be straight forward and clean.

I went online to Bed Bath and Beyond and found that you can mail order twin extra long sheets in a 600 thread count material so those came in yesterday. Finally, some nice sheets to go with my new mattress.

I think I'm all set for the winter. I've done everything I wanted to do. I should be back home on Wed and may go through a dry run with my new chains. They have the cam's on them to tighten up making it easier than my last ones to get on. I've already lost count how many times I've had to chain up. I tell ya, there's nothing like driving in the snow chained up. Your like a freaking Sherman Tank. I LOVE IT

I leave on Friday for Kentucky to move my mother to Florida which will take 4 days of my time for the total ordeal. Back home for a few days to move everything around into my new storage unit on the trailer, clean the truck, stock it then hit the road for a good amount of time and hopefully no more interuptions for a while.

 

Please post links or search words for washer.
Thanks.

Made it up to the dealer here in Vermont right before 7 and they were waiting for me. This place has 10 bays and all were full with a mechanic in each one working. Biggest WORKING garage I've ever seen.

I've never seen so many inframe rebuilds going on at the same time. The owner has 3 sons and each one is a manager. Sales, service and parts.

The Rigmaster is really big. You look at the pictures on the web and it looks small but it's not. The condenser and blower unit was able to go into one of my side storage units instead of taking up the open space right under my bunk which I would really miss.

 

Steve, This curious old nosey mind would like to know???
1. Which engine did you get. Perkins or Cat???
2. Get any options? Auto-start etc.
Must feel like Christmas... New toys are always fun... 8)

 

this is why companies have o/o's. there i just no way a company could take care of and maintain a truck like this.
