Last day at Pomona.
We finally got to set in a ring and chat on the first truly warm day of the week!
Storms moved in the day we arrived 3/18 and stayed 3-4 days with considerable cold. I got to see very little of the show as I scheduled a huge number of repairs/upgrades that kept me waiting at the coach most of the rally.
-Motosat internet dish complete replacement of rooftop hardware. An upgrade from the early beta unit of 4 yrs ago. Royal, Ben, and one other arrived after 7 pm to do the swap and carried the dish up and down the ladder! Then the hard work began. The dish would not find the satellite. After 3 hrs, I sent them off to bed. The next day it took another 3 hrs of troubleshooting to find the bad coax cable at the base of the nount atop the roof. All is well, now.
Mototsat Nomad 24 in TV dish. A upgrade/sidegrade from a Tracstar dome. Instal went smooth and the installer didn't bat an eye at the rats nest of wires he had to untangle in my Tivo compartment. Now I have a chance of getting TV in Alaska...maybe.
Davis cabinet. They removed both CRT TVs and installed the latest Bose 28 system in a base cabinet behind the driver's seat.
Lifeline AGM batteries. installed 4 new ones...$$$$!
Charging is now so fast and gets into the green in a reasonable time. My old batteries were 6.5 yrs old and were very decrepit.
Country Coach installed a new air compressor pump for the air leveling system. My old one kept quitting after a short try and then leaving me off level.
On Thursday, Davis cab. finally returned to put the rear cabinet door hinges on. Now I have 2 new overhead storage bays.
By the way, I have removed the 30 in Sharp aquos TV as well, so now have no Tvs in the coach... I can still watch TV in a window on my new 30 in monitor.
Finally, at 9:30 PM Silverleaf arrived and installed autogen start, a module attached the the silverleaf VMS 240 computer that can automatically start the generator whenever voltage drops to a certain level. It recognizes quiet hours and can be set up to run for a period just before quiet time.
And to think I used to come to these rallys and only spend a hundred dollars!
