Here's what's happened since the last update. That picture I posted of the water tank in its pregnant pose was kind of prescient. It should not have looked like that, and was probably a consequence of my filling the freshwater tank the day before the Mega Storm of 2009. Dumb.
So I spent Thursday in snow-related duties, while Shelby also had a few snow-related dooties. I borrowed a ladder to clear the snow from the top of the unit and slideout. I kept the space heater under the tank all day until it was shut down by the GFI. Probably got some water in the plug where the heater was attached, as it was under a fairly prolific drip. Everything dried up pretty quickly once the snow was off the roof and the Sun did its job all afternoon. But it took until the next morning for the GFI to reset. By Thursday night I was able to drain the fresh tank using the water pump.
Another shakedown surprise occurred Thursday night when the four screws holding the closet hanger bar gave way under the load of clothes. Apparently, the lowest bidder who installed it never thought anyone would hang more than, say, a couple Hawaiian shirts and a pair of jeans.
On Friday, I dropped the camper at RV Services to fix it while we hit the stores and did some chores.
Mac did a super job on both the closet and securing the tank, shown in this post.
