Not for the Avion but for the DIY House Remodel, Kitchen and laundry room measurements:

 Measurements below are approximate.  Actual size is probably smaller as there was no one to hold the tape.

Kitchen:    12.5' x 13.5'

Laundry room:    9.5' x 8.75', or 9'0.'



In addition:


This  morning I installed a gate helper. Now I need to level the ground, take a measurement, dig the post hole and place the post. For some reason, when this fence was installed, a small post was placed here. It never worked correctly. Then, a neighbor's pony stallion damaged the fence in this area by jumping but failing to clear the fence. I came home to find him stuck in it. I found his owner, who came to get the horse but did not fix the damaged fence, even though I complained about it. Anyway, I will install the post I bought yesterday and try to get more some time next week.

All window rubber must be replaced.  There is body damage in several places, including but not limited to refrigerator vent area (fridge is ruined and must be replaced), black/grey water flange cover, and also there is a rip in the aluminum in the fresh water door area. 

The aforementioned flange does not fit, leaks, and must be replaced.

Bald after one trip!

One of my tires came back bald after only one trip!  I don't know if this is a camber issue, incorrect tire pressure, or a damaged axle. Yet another riddle to solve.

Lock Set Installed, Caulk Not My Friend

The lock set is changed out but I have since learned that rope caulk is not my friend.  That being said, it probably would have been helpful if someone had shown me how to use it.  The job I did is okay, though, in that it keeps the water and drafts out.  I'll try again with the caulk later--just to pretty it up.

Update:  July 28, 2019:  Calk gone.  Must be redone.

The Water Fill Compartment Door and What's Behind It.

Since starting obtaining the Owner's Manuel, I have learned that this locked compartment is the door to the water fill compartment.  I have to replace the components belonging to the water tank fill spout, because it is broken.  Below are some pictures of the parts that are broken off on the interior part of this componentry, which are underneath the bed.


I went to a local RV shop and was given a universal key to unlock the compartment door.  Sadly, it would not work so I am going to order this an-old style key for a water fill compartment.  If it works, it will surely be a lot less expensive than calling a locksmith out to get the lock open!

Found: The Fuse Box!

I would like to take credit for finding this but the fact is that my daughter found it!  The elusive fuse box is finally located and not in the bathroom!  It's in the hallway!
