Hey friends,

I installed a Roadmaster 1209-140 sway bar. I also have MCU’s and Koni shocks that I installed last year. So can I feel a difference? You betcha. Not as dramatic as when I installed the MCU’s, but more noticeable than the Koni shocks. If I had it to do over I would skip the the Koni shocks. The factory Sacs shocks are pretty darn good.

Here’s a neat folding camp table I discovered at Harbor Freight for less than $30. Perfect for when you’re boon-docking or overnighting at a Harvest Hosts.

Our not-so-old Suburban water heater worked just fine with one exception. We had to wait for it to heat 10 gallons of water before we could use it. On mornings where we did not have hookups, we often skipped showers because it was a hassle.

The old AGM house batteries are kaput and need replacing. Like many others, I considered Lithium chemistry batteries but I found the cost to be 6 times the cost of AGMs at the time of this writing. Here’s the rundown.

Like many of you, I keep a manila file filled with receipts of service done on my RV. However, I like to keep backups of these important receipts. An easy way to do this is to take a picture of the receipt and store it in a cloud service like Google Photos.

I recently added SuperSteer Motion Control Units to my RV’s suspension system. SuperSteer Motion Control Units or MCU’s are inline air values that are installed just above the RV’s airbag suspension units. Their purpose is to restrict air passing in and out of the airbags. The net effect of this restriction is to reduce the side-to-side swaying motion of the RV, especially at low speeds. When entering/exiting driveways or going over railroad tracks, the rocking back and forth is reduced. In addition, MCU’s can reduce porpoising, which is the up and down motion when traveling over bumps in the road at speed.

Our first Newmar Kountry Klub rally! What a hoot. We met at the Pine Ridge RV park located near Frankenmuth, MI. Not familiar with Frankenmuth? It’s a tourist town with a Bavarian German theme.

Wisconsin roads are rough. How rough? Well, last week while on a 400 mile trip I had a drawer latch bust and a roller-shade fall off the wall. I keep replacement drawer latches on hand so no big deal. One of these days I’ll replace them all with magnetic catches but that’s for another day.

Leaves and other tree debris tend to collect on the windshield wipers when they rest against the glass. This not only deteriorates the wiper blades, but it also leaves a gooey mess on the windshield that has to be cleaned off.
