What did you do to your camper today?

John was the $950.00 a one time expense including sales tax on your truck or your yearly license fee?

I do believe it was a first-time expense including taxes . . . I'll let you know next November when I have to get my tabs for 2016!

New truck:

You need to check the new fee schedule. When renew my 11,500 gvw F350 in August I'll pay $438!!!! The dealer licensed it with a class 8 window sticker.

Added remote digital thermometers to both the living area and the basement so I can monitor the temperature in the unit from inside the house. Temperature was 12 degrees F last night and the high today will be 30 degrees F. Internal temperatures in the unit goes from 47 degrees F to 53 degrees F. I do have the furnace set at 55 degrees and have two electric heaters, one in the living area and one in the basement. Supposed to get into the 40s next week and at that time I will be installing a backup camera.

BTW, what have those of you that have had mice do to eradicate them?[/QUOTE]

I use the glue traps and check them regularly, they seem to work the best for the tiny field mice.

The Elkridge is in storage till end of March, but I did get a chance to work on TV this past weekend. Installed 7" touch screen NAV, GPS, Back up camera, stereo into the old RAM. While the dash was pulled, I installed a custom wire harness to hardwire TPMS monitor, additional power ports, USB chargers and tuner monitor. I had about 11 hrs in total but well worth it. Cleaned up the interior completely. No more wires running to power ports. Very clean. Love the Bluetooth.

Forgot the before pics but here are some after. Not as fancy as the new trucks but sue an upgrade for the 7 year old beast.

We have used peppermint oil in the past.. Soak some cotton balls in it - and the mice stay away. It seemed to work?

We are using ours right now, too!

We've been at the Grand Canyon the last two nights and on the road two nights before that.

We pull out this morning to head south to the Arizona HOC Rally west of Pheonix.

Found a few minor issues with the trailer since we last used it (September,2014), and the day before yesterday had to have the spare swapped in Flagstaff, AZ for one of the other tires as it was wearing out bad on the inside edge!

Apparently we need to have our trailer aligned.

I've looked into that system as well. Please do a review or write up if you make the switch
