A little RV maintenance

Quirt had a automatic step issue which needed fixing.  He discovered a broken linkage when he crawled underneath.  The snow and ice he was in up in Washington State must have wedged in the mechanisms and caused enough binding for the linakage to break.  He took it off, borrowed the welder from Ted next door and the pics below show some of the reinstallation of the repaired linkage.

 Marilyn, your steps are better than new!
One last job, Quirt washes the top of his House batteries.
Don't mess with Quirt!
Now a plumbing job at Jerry's mobile home.   The flexible copper supply line corroded through after 20 years.  Gari, Steve and Jerry worked together to figure out the fix and install.
This is the leak.
This is the finished fix with the water back on, no drips!  Two Sharkbite couplers and a length of 3/4" Pex pipe between the original copper supply lines coming into the home.
This is the Gecko that watched the repair proceedings.  Just glad his scorpion and rattlesnake friends were away for the day!
