The first full day after getting the trailer out of storage is normally one of fixing little problems. At the end of last year there was a small problem with the two water drain valves under the trailer leaking slowly. It was time to remove them and put new valves in, at first I thought I would have to drain the whole system, but I got lucky and managed to cut the old ones off and clamp two new ones on. End of leaks.
Next was the satellite setup, again I was lucky because the dish was still locked at the right elevation and skew from last years trip, all I had to do was put the mast up vertically and point the dish in the right direction. With the new meter I got last year we had TV in a few minutes.
The chores continued, when I turned the Air Conditioner on to test it, the fan shook so much the whole trailer vibrated with it. A quick search on the web suggested that there may be a wasps nest, or something similar, on one of the fan blades, so it was up to the roof to strip down the A/C unit. There was a large hornets nest in the outer casing, but this was not causing the problem. All the fan blades were clear, so a little more investigation was required. Finally I discovered there was an old dried out nest buried in the hub of the fan, this nest was solid and certainly weighed enough to throw the blade out of balance. A few minutes digging with a screwdriver removed the problem. Once everything was back together the fan was turned on and it ran as smooth as it used to.
While I was on the roof, I checked out other places where wasps may have set up home, but no more were found.
Last chore for today was to get the BBQ setup, unfortunately a lot of stuff had to be removed from the storage compartment before I could get the BBQ out, this led to a whole slew of other little minor jobs before the BBQ came out.
Ah, the joys of relaxing RV living.
