3 days till we take off

Well it is now just 3 days till we take off. Lots done and of course still lots to do. Lets see if I can put what we have done in just a short list, lol.
1 - Replaced just one air bellows ($100)
2 - Replaced backup camara and monitor (about $220)
3 - Added a brake controler (about $130)
4 - Got a 20ft Big Tex trailer to tow the 4Runner, bike and smaller trailer (yes used but still alot of money but since it has double brakes and lots of features you really should have if you are doing cross country towing it was worth it)
5 - Packing up the apartment and unpacking and putting things away in the MH
Doing the camara, monitor and the brake controler wiring took about 7 hours total. The longest was figuring out where to run the wires from the front to the back. You don't want them just hanging down under the MH and then you also don't want them too near the hottest part of the engine so better to spend a few hrs figuring that out BEFORE you start running the wires. Thom had to go under the MH several times to get it right. No we did not take pictures as we were running around trying to get it done, and done as right as possible, before the rain came in the next morning.
Last week when we were doing some little stuff and started the MH. The drivers side air bellows decided to really let us know it was leaking - ALOT. So ..... it was either deal with the leak and alarm which is not good to do or replace. Luckily we found not only a direct replacement for it but it was on sale and no shipping cost. Some of the air bellows things are anywhere from $30 to you name it so you need to make sure you get the correct one for your MH. That job took Thom about 1 1/2 hrs and part of that was to make sure that things were tightened and reattached correctly. We are taking off on a long trip and want to make sure we don't have to refix what should have been done right the first time.
Now there are those that are asking where we are going on the trip and while family does have an idea I will let you know that we are going from California to Michigan by way of Florida in about 3 weeks. We are stopping off at a few places to see family and friends along the way and as soon as we figure out the timing of things we will let the next set know when we will be there :)
Lots of packing still left to do but it will get done since we will be leaving here either Friday night or Saturday morning. It depends all on how long they keep Thom at work on Friday. There will be more posts coming up when we start on the trip in a few days. I will also be posting more pictures and videos of where and what we do on this venture. Thom will also work on doing more of the lights and we will do a video of it and I will post that. We do have a few more to do so that will taken care of in the next few weeks. We will also keep track of the money things for various reasons in case someone else can use the info.
