I like having the window open when I drive. I like to have the doors open when I camp. That lets a lot of dust in. And it collects everywhere. So I started with cleaning the windows and mirrors, then moved on to the dashboard and door panels. Then the fridge exterior and cabinets. And the floor. I changed the fitted sheet and pillow cases. I rearranged some things in the cupboard. Yay, clean.
Then it was onto repairs and maintenance. I spray painted over the spots on the hood where the factory paint tends to peel off. I sprayed some scratches in the rain gutters where the original ladder rack had scratched the paint. I checked the oil and transmission fluid (which had been changed a few weeks ago). Yay, fixed.
Finally, since the radio had done that thing again where it stops working, I pulled the perfectly good fuse and replaced it. Yay, music.
All this before lunch. Yay, me.
Congrats. for the efficient work & the tasks accomplished !

DeleteI'm more of a clean-as-you-go kind of guy (My father drilled it into us!) but I also drive with windows down and park with doors open so I too am constantly fighting the dust (That corian counter-top always seems to be gritty again just as soon as I've wiped it down!!) and keep a supply of those Swiffer duster pads on hand for touch-ups. (No handle, just the pads.)
ReplyDeleteYou've reminded me that the radio in my 2010 Sprinter based Sportsmobile quit working once and the fix was pulling and reinstalling the fuse. I just figured it was a lot like a hard reboot.
Yeah, a car stereo guy told me something is causing an occasional overload. Pulling and reinserting the fuse is like a reboot. He said I might have get a momentary power interrupt switch wired in so I wouldn't need to mess with the fuse panel, which is a beast to open up.
DeleteVanholio's pretty much a pig. But two things I love about living in a van are: 1. I gotta keep fairly organized, so it don't get too messy, and 2. When I finally get to scraping the funk off, it don't take long.
