The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXII

Rusty

The front of the bushing has to flush with the sub-frame where the diff stud goes into it.

The small hole in front, and the large hole in the rear.

Did you install the bushing from the rear?

On the front bushings. Remove everything. Nothing gets reused but for the 2 long bolts.

It started last night. The couple renting out the motorhome for the weekend. Called the campground and the office was close. So they spent the night in the motorhome next to the house.

This morning. We went through everything on the operation of the motorhome. They got a hold of the campground office and was on their way.

Started doing yard work. Leaf blowing, weedeating, picking up dead tree branches, cutting grass, started a fire to burn the dead tree branches.

Got a call from the couple around 5:30. They are locked out of the motorhome at the campground. The campground is about 45 minutes from me. So off I go with the other set of keys. Get there and tried my set of keys. NO worky. The door has 2 sets of locks. One dead bolt that works. The other works with either a key or a remote. You could hear the remote moving, but nothing was happening. And the key would only turn so far. Went to the campground office and see if I could borrow a hack saw blade. They gave me a hack saw. Went back and started to saw through the door lug on the door frame. Get about 2/3 through the lug and I hear a click. Grabbed the door handle and it opened open. So I got the couple in, and they are so happy.

I got home around 7. finished cutting grass, restart my fire, and ate. After eating. Was in my lazyboy reading the forum, and went out like a light.

Now I have to replace the door lug, and figure out why the remote lock wasn't working.

The reason the couple is renting the motorhome is that they are both retiring soon and want a motorhome to travel in. And wanted to see what a big Class A was like. They have already tried the smaller Class C's and B's. They really like mine. I told them it's for sell. I could see the wheels turning in their heads when I left the campground. Hopeful, they will buy it.

I thought you liked the Class A rig. You are selling it now?

Rusty

We love it. But we just don't use it like we should anymore. When we first got it. We would use it about 60 days in the summer. Now, we only have a couple of long weekends planned, and a elk hunting trip in the fall to NM if I get selected in the drawing. That's only about 20 days of use for the year. It's an expense that we could do without if it's just sitting. Just sitting, it eat money. With Chris's Parkinson's. If anything happened to me while we are out with it. She is no longer able to handle it by herself. That's another reason.

Call me a red neck. Got some sun on the back of my head and neck. I can feel it.

That probably contributed to the lock sticking; just not getting used enough....
Thought you were on the verge of buying a couple more for rentals & extra income

The solid one I helped install up North was also rough
Fubarred up a few things installing as well.
Hopefully when I get to the point of doing my next one; I’ll have things a little more disassembled prior
