Best Toyhome Day Ever

[paulnptld]

I spent the weekend with my wife working on various projects to improve our 1990 Dolphin before our road trip. Some learnings:

1) Barkeepers Friend is brilliant. I scrubbed the exterior thoroughly, applied a mild bleach mixture after, and was able to remove a lot of the yellowing from the fiberglass.

2) Zep High Gloss Floor Finish really works! I did three coats, and all I can say is wow! Amazing shine. The RV looks 15 years newer.

3) Painted wheels make a huge difference.

4) A 2,100 watt generator can indeed power a 20 year old rooftop air conditioner...with some help. I installed the Supco SPP6e hard start capacitor. It didn't work at first. Then I removed the old capacitor entirely and voila! Works like a charm. $20 spent instead of buying a second generator or new AC unit. http://www.amazon.com/Supco-SPP6E-Series-Electronic-Potential/dp/B0071OXD8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378222602&sr=8-1&keywords=spp6e

So it was a good weekend!
