Lightened the load by making new covers for my back storage bins. I honestly think I saved 70 lbs with this! My RV is a 2004 Fleetwood Fiesta 26Q. Continue reading
Category: My DIY RV Projects Some of the RV DIY projects I’ve done on my full time boondocking Class A motorhome.
P30 Workhorse Chassis Steering Yikes! Steer Safe Steering Stabilizer to the Rescue!
Those who have been following my videos have probably heard me complain about the handling of the RV; sometimes, it’s downright scary! Road wander, truck blow back, wind, any little rut or bump in the road, and you are veering off, constant steering. The solution? A steering stabilizer (or a track bar, air bags too) I picked this one, good reviews, easy, and affordable (for a steering stabilizer!) Continue reading
Fulltime RV Kitchen Made a Shelf No Counter Space
Nothing special, just making a little shelf to organize stuff on the counter a little.

Washing and Waxing the RV
People ask, how do you wash that thing? You get an RV washing brush, and just wash it, like a big car! I used some special fiberglass anti-oxidant and polish, and she is now gleaming in the sun! Continue reading
I Try the Dishwasher Soap & Ice RV Toilet Trick
I tried cleaning the sensors on my black tank with the often recommended “dishwasher detergent and ice” trick. In theory, the ice is supposed to swish and bang around, knocking crud off the sensors before melting… only problem, I have these twisty, turny toilet pipes that get clogged easily, and the ice would not go down! Oh well, it helped a little! Continue reading
I Replace the Water Pump in My RV
The water pump always went “chug, chug, chug” and it also started making weird electronic noises. It was still working, but I thought I had better get it replaced while I could. You know how these things are, you will be out in the middle of nowhere, and…. fail! While I was at it, I also got another DC cigarette lighter plug put in at the dinette, so I can plug in my 400W inverter for the laptop.
Changing the Oil In My RV Onan MicroQuiet 4000 Generator
Generator maintainence is important, and changing the oil is really easy! really, it is!

Rainwater Collection off my RV Roof
This is my system for collecting rainwater off the roof of my small Class A; the Fiesta 26Q only has a 30 gallon fresh tank. I had a similar set up on my travel trailer, and it worked like a champ! Continue reading
I Install Airtabs on my Class A RV
Airtabs are supposed to make an un-aerodynamic vehicle more aerodynamic. They are sold for big rig trucks, but also very good for RVs, they’re supposed to cut way down on the “whoosh” and push when a big truck roars by you on the interstate, making the RV easier to handle. They’re also supposed to improve gas mileage. There were a lot of good reviews on RV forums (not shills) so I decided to make the investment. We’ll see how they perform next time I hit the road! Continue reading
