Most everyone on here a pro. But for us newbies I try to write down my adventures to give others encouragement to try projects.
Today I tackled changing window felts. This was something I wanted to do since day one of ownership but just got to do it today.
Its about as easy as opening the window removing the old felt and replacing it with the new felt. Sometimes getting it under the "opened" part of the window is a little tough, but all in all if your windows aren't opening well, replacing the felt is a great beginner job! My local window guy wanted a fortune to do this job, but I'm glad to have done it myself.
Also finally got my EZ101 fired up today. On winter setting, max flame, max temp, holy cow the waters hot! If anyone is looking to add a instant on water heater this project is more challenging. I opted to have a friend who is a plumber help me do the plumbing. I would of tacked it, but it had a few leaks, and copper lines needed to be replaced in a section...etc. I installed the unit however. I took ideas from the forum, and added it to the back of my frig and ran a flu up to the roof. I put the controls in a way that is easy to access. I look forward to trying it out in the real world. Hearing it fire up for the first time today was nice. Mine had a bad on/off switch from the box however. A little troubleshooting however figured it out. I ran a on/off switch to the interior of the coach so I can turn it off at night when not in use. I had to shim my frig about 2" as well. I used wood and painted the trim black. Looks nice. The EZ101 doesn't fit behind the frig in my 23ft without doing that. I'd have to give this one a "better get some help project for the beginner"
For anyone that wants a SUPER GOOD LOOKING stove top, that Spinflo is AWESOME. It added a ton of class to the galley. I'm not sure how other GMCs are but mine didn't need much. I had to cut the counter top a bit to get it in place. I also took my jig saw and had to cut the metal on the spinflo a bit around the lip. I'd have to give that Spinflo two thumbs up! Another great idea I got from the forum.
Its really nice to see my coach starting to get some where. Some of the ideas have really helped out. If your a beginner like me or to shy to ask the experts don't be!
