I
am waiting for parts I ordered.
- The two exhausts on
the roof are completely broken, so I guess when it rains some water goes
through it. They should come today. I found aluminum ones, probably to last
forever:

- Also will cover
the shower so I can open it when it
rains:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UUMM6K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
- I am thinking to
add a new axle, as one side I see like 5 degree angle in the tire at the
bottom, still after changing the bearings; and the spindle is fine, so probably
the torsion arm is getting old. I am in contact with Lipper for that matter.
- I will add solar,
and this is something I have done for years in a small off road trailer I have,
in a van I converted in the past, and in my own Silverado I have 3 solar panels
over a rack I built. It will be a challenge because it is round on the
top...but I will find the way.
- Added already a
box in the front with Camco gas tank cover.
- Added 2 x 200 AH Lithium
(I had them from another project), but I installed them under the passenger
seat inside the Rpod (Dinette); and the solar system will be there as well.
- I want to paint
the center-outside of the Rpod, the re-seal everything, so I can give
maintenance to the AC without worrying for leaks.
This week should
come all the seals for the slide. They are not super bad, but better than have surprises.
This pod all in it works but the guy that had it was not up to maintenance, as
you can see in the roof no cover for the exhausts. You can see the two black
pipes.
-Right now I am
ending a second hand painting inside the Rpod, except the kitchen. I will give
it three times, but these panels are not so friendly to the paint, they are
special ones against humidity with some vinyl over the lauan wood, but little
by little is sticking there. Already looks like there is more light inside.
- I will add Led
lights except the bathroom...we are getting old. We know it because at night
the light bothers a little bit when suddenly on.
-I may replace
the toilet with composting, in my experience from the past I think it is the
best; of course it is just my opinion, and we use it mostly just for my wife
and me. I understand that when you have a big family that could be an issue.
- I already painted
underneath the trailer half way to all metals...need more paint.
- I will be busy,
and my vacation ends next Thursday.
Busy... busy.
