This is a very simple update that I should have done a long time ago. I don’t know if this setup was unique to our coach or if its common.
Closet Switch
A/C Shroud
The plastic material that forms the AC cover / shroud tends to harden over time. They generally last 5 years, at which point they should probably be replaced, but who really tracks that.
Water Bay Plumbing
Our old “quiet” loop on the AquaJet water pump was getting tired with age, just like any of the other plastic/rubber parts in and around the coach. We ordered two new quiet loops as it was recommended that a “loop” be on both the inlet and outlet side of the pump. RV Water Filter Store
Dump Valve Replacement
Finally tackled this “job”. Overall not to difficult, took about 3.5 hours to do even with my broken big toe. I ordered the new valve bodies from Amazon.com: Valterra T1003PBC 3” Valve Body for about $26 each.
The replacement process is pretty straight forward, here is a short outline of what I did:
Blue Ox Towbar Maintenance
Time for some tow bar maintenance! Our Blue Ox Aventa LX has served us well, but was getting a bit stiff to move ball-in-socket and the arms, plus there were some creaks, squeaks and groans (Oh My) when any of them were moved.
Bathroom Faucet
We decided to replace our bathroom faucet with a new “bolder” one to freshen the look a bit. The old one a.k.a the “toad in the corner” design worked fine but there was not much room under it for you to wash you hands, etc.
Bay Door Actuators
One of our bay door lock actuators failed and needed to be replaced. The servo contains a small electric motor with worm gear to activate the lock. The original manufacturer, VPA, stopped production for this actuator many years ago and Foretravel parts, when they still had them in stock, wanted $79 each!
LED Puck Basics
I did some experimenting with some LED pucks that I have. In the background of the videos you can see the power supply where I range the input voltage to the pucks from about 6.5Vdc to 15Vdc. This is done in a constant voltage mode (green numbers) allowing it to pull the amps that it wanted (the red numbers)
