What did you do to your SMB today?

just a heads up for ya... the design on your wheels wont be as defined as that pic. they show a small hub 5 lug pattern pic when you purchase, but the larger hub dilutes the pattern. not really a big deal, but it was kind of disappointing when I first opened the box to check mine out. yours will look more like these

Installed a new Norcold NR751BB refrigerator in the place of the old DC0051.

In the past 2 weeks: Discovered leaks at side window (due to poorly fitted aftermarket glass replacement) and pinhole in roof adjacent to rain gutter- so HellBetty had a ladder rack that was not at all apparent. Removed 2 rear seat brackets to inspect under carpet. Planning to address the leaks so I can replace the carpet with flooring, then on to build out.

Right after that was a road trip to Willimasburg/Yorktown VA, following which I cleaned carpet and seat due to grandson getting carsick twice on the way home through the snowstorm. The VA highway patrol officer that stopped to check on us looked in but he sure did not linger! Thinking of fitting a 50 gallon drum around that toddlers carseat to contain the barf next time.

In spite of the holdups to a build out (Me not having those skills AT ALL) she is happy addition to my 'fleet'- everyone enjoyed going out and about together over the holidays in her- hiking, etc. so totally worth it!

Will try hard to have sleeping/storage quarters built by the East Coast gathering at end of April. Another high incentive- I'm tired of having duffel bags and cook boxes shifting around back there on road trips.

Sanded and applied por15 all around the drip rails on the roof and finished a few minor things in final preparation for getting the new high top installed on Wednesday. The added 24" is such a huge improvement! Thanks to user MSD for the screaming deal and great service!

Adding a VSR for my aux batteries.

Checked my tire pressures and noticed the right front was at 40psi. Then I found this nice chunk of metal stuck in the tire. Now wishing I bought the tire insurance from Discount Tire. Hope it's patchable so I don't have to shell out $220 for a new one.

You should be good if it is in the main tread of the tire. The certs only cover the tire that can't be repaired. Usually on the edge of the tread or sidewall.

Went and looked again - it's almost right in the center of the tread. Tire shop across the street is closed today so I guess I'll take it over there tomorrow and see what they can do.

So today, I replaced a few cabinet latches with replacements from Amazon

I feel your pain, I had to buy two new tires in one year due to damage. I bought the insurance on the two new ones, but now I have two ready for replacement too, and I don't really want to buy any more Duratracks, so I'm looking at four new ones pretty soon. Good luck with the patch, it looks fixable to me..
