I don't use antifreeze in potable lines - I carefully clear water out with compressed air.

Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
I am still working at cleaning out the water system in the new camper because both the previous owner and reselling dealer were sloppy in taking care of the system in the first place.
Cat pretty much hates the traveling to the camper part of the camper. I left her alone for a few hours. The car ride was pretty awful. I could hear her crying as I approached. The blinds in the Bedroom and Kitchen are pretty much destroyed.

camper is sitting out on the driveway with the tank drain open to empty any remaining junk before I do a final flush
Wouldn't say no, but I really would rather something with internal secure storage for four bikes.

well it took a few hours but I think I got 99.9% of the sludge out of the water system. little more Clorox and 3-4 flushes and I got to the point where no more visible sludge or particulate matter was coming out. Cleaned the filter screen between the fresh tank and the water pump. Ran water through the system and pulled the screen again and it was clean. What a pita.
Lent our camper to some really good friends. They broke the faucet, and basically were like ‘it was like that, bro’
no good deed goes unpunished.

Absolutely ludicrous offer on my spot. I get to keep my place and build and setup another trailer adjacent to mine.

I almost forgot about all the pain in the ass shit you have to do when you own a portable house. All the areas where I didn't replace the floor and foam insulation cannot handle below freezing temps.

New kitchen fan is in the camper roof. the only pisser was trimming the interior roof flange to fit and getting the inside corner roof brackets at the right angle to let the flange slide in place then not fucking up the alignment as you remoced the flange to tighten shit down. Took me 2 hour for the whole project but now I have a 900cfm exhaust fan above the oven. Win
@eric strt6 pull that roof tape and throw down some more beads of dicor, the tape will fail in no time with your sun exposure and cause some serious damage before you know it.
that dicor pic was before I tightened it down.. the bead extends from the inside roof cut to the outside of the flange It's 1 1/4 inches wide and it was a pencil thickness high. I put on over twice as much dicor as lance did

Why a fantastic instead of a maxxair? Given the choice, the latter being rainproof is preferable to me.
Made bacon in the camper as a test of the fan. Opening the side window next to the oven is not as effective in clearing cooking smoke with the new fan as is opening the roof hatch in the cabover above the bed . That said either way the smoke clearing ability of the new fan is far superior to the old one. Win
and to answer 6th I don't understand your question. It is a Maxxair Fan that I installed.

Maxxair, not your maxxfan.
The maxxair have the motorized shroud so the rain can't blow in.
This is purely an exhaust fan for when I'm cooking: no auto close, no temperature setting, no reverse I have another mutilspeed fan over by the dinette with all the fancy doodad features
Not sure who's big bitch this is, but it's usually parked by shipping. Someone in my office.
The Freakshow Camper of the Year Award Goes to This Custom Honda CRX Glamping Abomination
This project sought to create a mobile habitat using a Honda CRX and a wooden camper shell on the rear. If it works, it isn't stupid, seems to be its life motto

<edit> and I bet it still gets over 40 mpg.
Cooked up sausage, scrambled eggs and made espresso in the camper. Had the new fan going over the stove and Ruth was in the cabover bed and said she smelled no cooking odors. Win!!
Now do a fart test.
It passed the dog farther test too ( we have 4 Australian Shepperds in the camper with us).
