We're going up to Myakka tomorrow just for the night. Got a site next to Lenny and Judy in the new campground. They're up for a few days. Anybody in the area is welcome to stop by and say hi.

Had a nice afternoon - evening - morning visit at Myakka with Lenny and Judy. The new campgrounds are really state of the art for a State Park. Lenny had a nice pull-through.

I got moved to a back-in because of water, but it was nicer than our original site anyways.

The view this morning from our door.

Here's how nice the sites are.

Havin fun.

Nice looking park/sites! My Barth is comfortable in the side yard. We drove it to a reunion a few weeks ago but I forgot to take pictures.

I'm finally catching up on my list of "must do" and nearly to the list of "should do" projects. (as usual, a few new ones cropped up..Kwikee steps quit the other day..probably another ground issue.)

I replaced the fuel pump relay recently, also one of the flexible engine oil cooler lines developed a bulge and started to leak so I replaced them both. (These were both on the "should do" list but the bulge made it a "must do!")

I will be doing my driveshaft joints and bearings soon, also inspect differential gears/bearings. I will have pics to share that fun.

I have one windshield (pass side) and gasket strip, still chasing the driver side. Probably won't get to painting for a while, though.

Looking forward to meeting more Barthers (any members are welcome any time you're in Michigan!)

Steve, when I blew an oil line I had Morehose make up stainless braided hydraulic lines for replacement. Should last a while. My buddy called last week and asked what I was doing. "Working on the coach". "I thought you were done with that". WHAT???!! You're never done! ROTFLMAO

You are so right, never done. Best way to learn how the coach systems work, forces you to look around (for more work!) every so often. My "must do" list is down to a few leftover items, to be done before any long trips. A couple more items to check on the brakes, the driveline rebuild, and new power steering/hydroboost flex lines. Then I can get to the cosmetic stuff for even more fun!

I saw a classic post in the site archives. Showed a picture of two legs sticking out from under the coach, "Another day with the Barth" Another picture had four legs sticking out entitled "Barth GTG"

Stainless steel lines should be forever! I just used some 500 psi hydraulic hose I got locally. My oil pressure is rarely over 80 psi anyway.
