So it's been a bit of a week trying to get her ready to leave town.
I noticed that my clutch master cylinder had a leak, so it was time to order parts!
@stevenlee was able to get me the new master cylinder in just a few days saving me the hassle of ordering the next closest part that was living in the UK.
While the van was in the shop, we went ahead and worked on a few things before I head south:
- Oil change
- Engine Air Filter
- Fuel Filter
- Wiper Blades
- Tightened the alternator and power steering belts
- Clutch Master Cylinder Change/ adjustment
One of my biggest "fears" (annoyances?) is people knocking on the door, so I installed a doorbell and cameras. I decided to use the Blink outdoor cameras because they claim to have 2 year battery life without hardwiring anything to the van. Running wires for everything has been such a pain so far that this was a no brainer for me. I did the 3 pack of outdoor cameras along with the door bell camera. I also picked up a wired camera for inside the rv. It may be a bit much, but it was easy to install it all. I used the dual lock 3m tape to mount it.
Small note, I did install some LED light strips that are powered by a battery instead of being plugged in. We will see how long the battery lasts before I decide to go through the hassle of installing hard wired leds.
Winter was also upon us and I did not think at all about winterizing the single pump water tank under the sink. My casualty was the faucet I had just installed a few weeks before.
I already ordered a new one though and installed it this week. I also painted the old knob black.
The final addition, were my arb/ tred pro traction boards. I plan to take this to places that will potentially need them, and having been stuck in sand on an adventure bike before warrants spending the money on these.
