UltraPower Upgrade

We saw the Redlands Truck & RV Performance Shop while we were on vacation this last week.
They assigned Josh M to do the work. I can honestly say- he knows his shit and he is also a character!
From QZ
Here he is installing the UltraPower package.

Thank you for the work & the entertainment Josh!

The Diamond Has Been Shined Up

We were finally out where I could back up and take a few photos of  "the Diamond" in all it's glory.

She is sunning herself in the desert here.

She is trying to hide behind some orange trees in this photo..



We will probably paint it a bit later into the project-but this will work for now!

As Ready As It Can Be

I took a few photos of the interior last night as I was getting ready to leave on our maiden voyage in The Diamond today.
Here are a few of the pictures:

Here is a slideshow of all the pics that I have uploaded:

Floor Registers

The new floor registers showed up today but we have a small issue.
Here is the old register:

-And here is the old & new registers - side by side:

You will notice the 1/4 inch ridge on the right side of the new register. It is stopping it to just drop in.

You can see the difference of each register in this photo. It will be nice when we can shave that bit from the opening!

Bath Time!

I came home tonight  to find the slide in-


-I bet that means the Diamond got a bath!

More Small Things...

We decided to use throw rugs  on the sub-floor on this trip. Here was my way around the floor register in the middle of the hallway.

-And we also put up a nicer towel rack.  (We still have  plenty of holes to patch throughout the rig.)

Whew...That Was a Close Call!

My plan today was to help clean out the "Diamond" with all the tools and miscellaneous stuff so I could take a few decent pictures on the inside - but I found something that could have been a major problem if I had not found it early today.
I found what appeared to be a water leak. We had put the rig on city water pressure early today to test all the lines. This was a good thing because we found a problem with the tub water connections.

The Pex tubing must be old enough that it would not seal around a shark bite fitting so we went to a local Marine store and bought a better quality fitting and clamp. Today may not have gone as planned- but I would rather take care of this today than I would a week from now!
