Airstream von Soich

The wife My wonderful, loving wife and I stopped by Lowe’s today to pick up some 1/2″ plywood for repairing the floor behind the streetside wheel well.

We stopped by the local Wal-Mart to get the whole set of RV sewage hoses and fittings, none of which was expensive on their own, but still added up to almost $100. Then we went to the Airstream dealer to pick up our AS (which we haven’t named yet… Hm. that’s not like us!) (more…)

After a few phone conversations with the Airstream people, this is what was broken, what was fixed, what needs to be fixed for inspection, and what would be nice to have fixed at some point. (more…)

…in hindsight, wasn’t the best of plans.I had checked the radar in the morning, and saw that there was one brief period of rain coming. Since the Airstream dealer was open until 3, I figured we could wait until after it passed. (and I could get a little practice in on the Rock Band drums!) (more…)

I stopped by Murray Auto Electric  on the way home from work today, to pick up some 20A buss fuses, since the 15A ones seem to be blowing with regularity. While I was talking to the guy about the problems I was having, with what I had assumed was a short, he said that no, if the ends of the fuses are heating up, it’s because I have a poor electrical connection on the end clips.

I stopped at the Airstream after work today to add some air to the flat tire on it.

Our plan was to go over early in the morning, hitch up the Airstream, tow it to the local Airstream dealer to have them see what needs to be done to get the brakes working, then head off to Idlewild, since I had taken the day off.
