Preventative Maintenance

Today we spent a good share of our time working on preventative maintenance for Auntie Violet. One of the most important items for RVers are our batteries. We have six batteries altogether. They sit towards the back in a compartment all their own. Every once in a while, they need to have water added. We buy gallon jugs of distilled water for them.

Today was battery day. Due to Forry's back surgery, adding water was way overdue. While Forry put on his knee pads and worked on uncapping the batteries and adding water, I emptied both the black and grey water tanks. I also flushed both tanks out. When we both got finished, we also washed down the battery compartment.

While we were outside, we did some reorganizing of a couple of the bays on the passenger side of the RV. I swept out some of the gravel and crap that had gotten in on the floor under the hydraulic slides We were able to stash the extra laminate from the new floors along with some of Forry's electronic gear.

It was another chilly overcast day. There is definitely a feel of fall in the air.
