What did you do with your RV this weekend?
Getting this weekend’s thread started and hope you’re having a great one!

Put 3.4 hours on it yesterday then changed the oil, as well as installed a Real Gasket on the oil dipstick tube. I managed to successfully use a form-a-funnel to drain the filter before removing, I had to take a picture so I’d remember how to do it next time!

It's not an RV, but "close enough."

I flew the Rocket up to Steamboat (KSBS) on Friday to hang out with my brother and his family at my condo. Came home this morning in time to get a few things done before I sit down to watch the Super Bowl and eat a bunch of junk food!

Gotta love the utility of these planes. Turned a hair-raising 3 hour (each way), 350 mile round trip driving into a 35 minute flight... and no bad drivers or road construction to deal with!
