RV Cleaning

Well, it has started! This morning we emptied the motorhome of everything we could. This included all the cupboards, all the bins stored in the overhead area, all the maps and tour books and all the towels and bedding. This afternoon I removed all the Fantastic Fan and exhaust fan covers and Norma and Nancy, our cleaning lady, cleaned everything in the place! It took them about five hours but it is spotless. Tomorrow I will put the fan covers back on and maybe replace the noisy bathroom fan with a silent computer case fan that uses hardly any power and can be left on all night to move air through the bedroom. There is no ceiling fan in the bedrome and when the weather gets hot it can get very stuffy back there. This little fan can be left on even when boondocking.

We have a couple of things left to do here and should be ready to head south the first week of November. I am getting anxious! There was frost on the lawn this morning.

  1. You'd better hurry! Forecast is for 91F (almost 33C) today but only 82F (28C) next Saturday. It's cooling off fast.

  3. Don, your and Jonna's idea of "cool" is much different than ours. It is 2C (36F) right now hoping to get to 13C (55F) by afternoon. The rest of the week will be cooler!

  4. We are working same as you. However have decided to leave the fan cleaning till we get to Mazatlan as they are likely to get dustier as we travel. That's the excuse anyway. Several years ago we cut a hole in the roof in the bedroom and added a fantastic fan, best thing we ever did.
