It sure is hard trying to get used to writing 2010!!  This year is already into the second month----flying by so quickly.  But,.....you know what that means don't you??  It's almost time to get the ol' RV out of storage,  clean it up, de-winterize it, and get ready to enjoy this fast approaching spring.  I am tired of cold, rainy weather---(doesn't snow much here in the Atlanta area), however, it doesn't make for a very condusive work environment.  I am ready for some sunny 70 degree weather with green grass and mild breezes---no tornados, please!

Along with that weather comes the usual suspects which can cause issues with your RV.  I am only going to talk about a couple little things today, however, the lack of RVers heeding these suggestions provided me with a lot of work this past year.  Simply put----mud daubers, wasps, and mice!!  It will behoove you to make a minor investment in a couple of simple screens that are custom produced to fit over the vents of your propane water heater and your furnace.  I can not tell you how many mud dauber nests I cleaned out this year along with wasp nests and mice nests!  It is a whole lot cheaper to install these screens than to pay me or another tech to pull your furnace or clean out your water heater---let alone repair damage caused by mice chewing wires or water lines.  I have included below, a few pictures of these screens.  They can be purchased at CampingWorld.com or at any of their stores.  Most RV dealers will stock them or your Personal Mobile Technician can get them for you.
