Ever since we bought the RV, I noticed a clanking noise in the front end every time we were driving on a rough road. Most of the time, we’ve been parked and I don’t worry about it, but finally when we were in Colorado, I crawled underneath to see what I could see. Come to find …
Changing the Bathroom Faucet
Although we like our Alfa, after living in it for a while, we find ourselves wanting to do a few personal touches here and there. One thing that we’ve changed recently has been our bathroom faucet. There wasn’t anything wrong with the original one, except we didn’t care for the style. We had been on …
Too Many TVs
Robert and I aren’t huge TV watchers, especially when we moved into our Alfa. Our motor coach came with four TVs: one in the basement, one above the driver’s seat, one in the galley, and one in the bedroom. Since our Alfa is a 2003, all the TVs are the old, heavy tube models. The first …
Sealing things up
I was checking out the awnings today and found the sealant over the doorway awning was cracked and in need of replacement. I got my handy razor blade tool out and began the job of removing all the cracked sealant. Once removed, I found that there were a ton of leaves wedged in there. It …
Gotta Remove Those Graphics
I don’t know why most all RVs have such goofy graphics, but I knew shortly after we got our Alfa, that I wanted them removed. Last September, when we were still living in our rental house in FL, I started the daunting task. I thought that I’d use a pressure washer and soon found out that …
Keeping the Water Lines From Freezing
This is our first winter in cold weather in our RV and we keep doing little things here and there to improve our insulation and winterizing. For the past month, we split our time at two different Colorado State Parks. Each one would not allow continuous hook up to the city water. One asked that you simply use …
Rewired
When we bought the RV it had an extra set of brake lights/turn signals installed. They are a great addition as our tow vehicle blocks the regular tail lights and signals. On our maiden voyage in June one of the lenses fell off. It was just the amber lens that was against the RV. With …
Insulating the Water Lines
I’m sure our Florida neighbors think we are crazy, but we are preparing for winter. With weather in the mid to upper 70s during the day and upper 50s at night, why on earth think about insulating the water lines? While most RVers go to warmer climate during the winter, we are going north. We …
