What are You Doing During The Stay At Home?
Fred Brooks:
Just finished the annual oil and filter change on our Cat C-12. Thought she may Purr a little if I talk sweet to her. Just wanted to give a shout out to Mike Shumack for doing the research on the correct EZ DRAIN plug. It will be a LOT easier than monkeying around with a 1 1/2" drain plug that takes a few gorillas to break loose. For those interested the part# is EZ-205 which is 1 1/8" -12unf threads. Thanks Fred

Dang Fred,
Now there is something else I "need"! Do you know if that is the same plug for the 3126 Cat?
Thanks Carl
Joel Ashley:
George, the ARC HDMI cable should not involve the blue ray player, but be an optional connect of the TV to your receiver/amp. That said, our 2019 Sony OLED has an “advanced” H-ARC version (I think that’s how it’s marked), and I think the installer told us that not all new TV’s have even basic ARC, but Fred may know better. If you have it there should be a marked port on the TV and the amp.
If all else fails re the DVD unit I’d revert to reading the manual, even if it’s a PITA online one.

LaMonte Monnell:
We've been wintering at Macdill AFB in Tampa, Fl this year.
I have changed the oil and filter in the 3126 CAT.
I changed the oil, oil filter and air filter in the Onan 7500 genset.
I sanded the roof some, resealed all the seams, and repainted the roof with Rustoleum boat paint.
Then I sanded the radius sides by the roof, the front upper cap and the rear cap, and painted with Durabak truck bed paint that turned out amazingly well.
I also had to replace almost all the water fittings behind the on / off valve handles that were cracked and a few were dripping.
Washed/ waxed the coach.
Took all the mirrors out of the kitchen area and put tile in its place.
We also painted the entire wall surfaces inside of the coach.
Thats about it, even got the car done while here..all new rotors, pads, oil change and filters.
Joel Ashley:
LaMonte, you can now come and do my radius’. You’re a lot more ambitious than me, and both cap tops need it worse than the sides. If I can ever get beyond our medical (and this pandemic) hiatus at home, hopefully BCS or Bend RV Repair can do it, as after balance-affecting surgery I’ve little business topside. But I’ll bet you’d not charge as much 🤐. I can’t even seem to get around to polishing the rig. Thank goodness my stepson at least couldn’t handle it last summer and power-washed it.
Now if only he hadn’t got water up inside the entry door awning and put that out of commission 😵.
As to painting the interior, I’ll draw a line, as ours are just fine as is. Hopefully my contribution here will be replacing all my batteries and renovating the tray, if the weather ever cooperates long enough.
My current endeavors are confined to clearing my garage workbench of electronic fix-it projects, trying to keep ahead of the yard, and soon tilling in the winter vegetable garden cover crop... rains cooperating. And awaiting the arrival in early May of our 5th great grandchild(daughter).
