Went out to the storage yard today and dewinterized the BH. Borrowed a 2.5KW generator from the FD and used it to run my 3-gallon air compressor. Pushed the anti-freeze out of the lines with 40 psi air and then used the water pump to draw fresh water from a 6-gallon jerry can to flush them out. Rinsed the inside of the water heater with a pump garden sprayer and reinstalled the anode rod (third season for it). Checked for leaks and found none.
I finally got around to mounting some additional broom handle clips on the ceiling of the baement. Now even my flagpole hangs up there, got a couple of other poles out the way, too.
Played with my Ground Control jacks again, just for fun. That and I wanted to adjust the retainer pins. Those puppies are sweet.
Based on an earlier post about sagging underbelly (the rig, not mine), I dropped part of the front Coroplast. It sags a bit, but is dry as a bone. Only thing I found in there was a large piece of scrap linoleum. Pulled it out for the trash. Other than a bit of wiring, it's a big empty space under the basement floor.
Since I don't have any more need for them, I pulled the two sets of Leveler Blocks out of the basement, along with some other stuff that was just taking up space the last two seasons. And I finally figured out that the collection of metal Shepherd hooks that the wife wants for hanging her hummingbird feeders, et.al., on would survive just fine if they laid on the basement floor and had stuff piled on top of them until we set up camp.
Last thing today was to check the torque on the spring hangers. All good at 65 ft-lbs. and the springs are still looking good. TST system says my tires are all holding 110 psi (I figured out how to turn it on/off without wiping out the memory).
Tomorrow, it's install and flush the new filters in my water filter system and take it out to the rig, along with some of the other stuff I pulled out to be able to install the jacks. And take the new LR telly out to finalize mounting the arm for it on the new panel I installed. Friday, I'll haul our clothes and kitchen stuff (spices, dry goods, etc.) out there and be ready to haul it north on Saturday.
