Mauvelous List of things to do

I am formulating a list of all the repairs I need to make on our 'new' 1990 WB40, 'Mauvelous'. I will be creating a blog using Blogger to document my trials and tribulations.
 So far I have the following:

  • Roof leaking above driver head 


    • patched but still leaks in very strong storm bought self sealing Sikoflex 


  • Bath faucet dripping water incessantly 

  •  FRONT A/C not working cleaned and tested, seems to work OK now, waiting on warmer weather to check 

  • Rear A/C not cooling, cleaned and tested, still not working, need to check board 

  •  Heater fans making noise (replace fans) 

  • Gas heater in bedroom not working 

  • Electric heaters all work as designed 

  • ALL Flourescent Lighting inside needs replaced with LED fixtures 


    • using LED strips ($15 replaces two 18" flourescents) from LEDWholesalers on Amazon 


  • NEW Tires all around! 2 down, 6 to go! 

  • ENGINE: All hoses need to be changed out 

  • ENGINE: All belts need to be changed 

  • Cruise control not working - found loose wires in shift console, may be the problem 

  • Need to check brakes, seem to be working fine and emergency brake holding well 

  • Need to check lube in wheel bearings - checked 02/28/13 and was good in front hubs  

  • Generator not staying started, added fuel so should start, check fuel filters 

  • ENGINE: Check fuel filters on engine 


    • Raycor filter #:


  • Check air filters on engine 


    • Air filter #:
