(2) Got a 4-wheel alignment, for which the numbers look like this:

Gave it a good wash today after work. I should have taken a picture but it was close to rain. I embarrassingly had not washed it in two years.

Mocked up a dog screen so that I can leave the rear door open to let the air flow when I need to leave my k9 secured. With fans on .

Default What Did You Do To Your Class B Recently?

Removed the Manufacturer installed TV and sound system/DVD player that we haven’t used for some years to free up some space and reduce clutter. Will use the indash system for sound when needed and mobile devices for viewing.

@TC8 - your dog screen looks good

Now THAT is a neat idea. Is it a stock barrier?

I could use something like that at my boondocking property. I have two neighbors within a half a mile, and wouldn't you know it, one of them keeps a cat at their off-grid cabin. My danged K9 takes off through the woods because she wants to play with the cat, an aspiration that the cat emphatically does not share. So I have to tether my dog sometimes, but I'd rather leave her inside like that.

No it is not stock. I had bought a pen for my dog to keep him in my court yard. I stopped using it as a pen. When I bought my RT in Jan. I wanted to have my dog secured while I played Pickleball tournaments. I came up with the design when I saw that RT had option of the back board. I made my own and used one of the pens panels and attached the panel with 4 u bolts I bent the panel in the middle and I can attach my bug screen and close the doors.

Yesterday, I ran the rooftop air for about 2 hours as it had not ran for a year. It did great and cooled well.

Also took it to a mechanic down the road to have the driver side power window checked.

He is also investigating why the dash air is not cooling.

Fingers crossed!

I had the driver side power window and dash air conditioner repaired. $388

Drove it to work the day after. Window worked great - Dash AC worked great.

I bought this tire cover recently and I think this gives it a cleaner look. Just a simple cover for less than ten bucks.

Just a simple recharge. Fingers crossed. He suggested I run it once in awhile even during the winter.

When you switch the Hot/Cold to defrost, it activates the AC to dry the air.

Is that a routine I should do each time? If so, do I put it on Cool then AC after that?

This is not mine but has the same format to slide it over to cool etc.

Yours look different... I am not sure.

You can try to leave the AC off,
then slide the temp level to WARM,
then press the defrost button.
(not the rear defrost, but the button under the "WARM" label.)

Then check under the hoot to see if the AC compressor is engaged.
