Sprucing Up the Rig

Since we bought the RV last month, we've done a few things. First, took it into the shop to get fixed up. 

 

They did a few things in the shop, including replacing a dilapidated ceiling fixture, and a cracked fan. Also replaced a component which allows the fridge to run on both gas and electric. But the rig was in mostly good shape, and they told us we got a great deal on it!!

Got some useful information in the shop. Apparently the trailer has two waste holding tanks - one "gray," which exclusively holds the dirty soap/runoff sink water, the other is "black," which exclusively holds the output from the toilet. Each holds 22 gallons. Then, there is a fresh water tank which holds 28 gallons. Last is the hot water tank, which holds 6 gallons. Six. And it takes about 40 minutes to heat up those 6 gallons. Guess I won't be taking any 20-minute showers this summer.

A couple weeks later we took the rig out for a wash.

Who's that in the truck bed?

Amazingly, the high water pressure took off all of the grime! The rig looked practically brand new afterwards.

Nick cleaned the exterior, while I spent a day cleaning the interior. I think it looks decent!

is in the back left corner. The bathroom door is swung open.

 We are still working on the route, but I'm about done with the supplies list and will be posting that shortly!
