Almost ready

We've just about got the mo-ho ready for our first trip.

Here's a pic for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

For pics of the inside, look here.

I spent Monday putting the bedding and towels back in.

Trickle charged the dump battery.

We use a Macerator pump to empty our holding tanks.

And to power it, it has 2 alligator clips we attach to a 12 volt battery.

Put fresh batteries in the Carbon Monoxide Detector and the Smoke Detector, and the TV, DVD, and VCR remotes.

Then it was time to check all the tires for proper inflation. Under inflated tires will blow quickly with all the weight they have to carry. So upon checking, they were all about 75-77 and should be between 83-85. So I got out our little air compressor, and started filling them. In no time the compressor quit. I blew a fuse. replaced the fuse and it blew again. So when all else fails, read the directions. ( I'm always putting things together before I read directions)

Apparently I can't use this on high pressure things like big tires.

Now I don't understand that because I used this same one all last year!

But it clearly wasn't working this year.

So off to TSC for a bigger one.

And here's a pic of the little beauty.

This baby has it all!

Besides being a powerful compressor,

it has a rechargeable battery,

And a 12volt DC output.

Next weekend we will un-winterize

the water system, (it's currently full of RV antifreeze)

and then we'll be ready for our first trip

to St Louis MO!
