Are you ready for winter?

[adamh]

All three vans, tires rotated oil changed
I have purchased enough chemical, oil and oil filters to last thtu spring.
Christmas is paid for.
Half a beef in the freezer.
More money in savings then ever before.
However, winter always is a stressful time.
If I didn't have employees things wouldn't be near as stressful but it's not just my family we are feeding through the winter.

Adam, do you folks living in cold areas typically have your coolant/antifreeze checked and or changed prior to winter? It's not a huge issue in Phoenix, but I would think making sure of proper concentration would be important where it freezes hard.

Ready and no beer in fridge.

I have 15 or so days to make sure there is no more money in our spending accounts(wont be hard).

We will need to separate this thread as it will go sideways with this post.

Did RA really rip off the Sealadoor concept?

Anyone seen one?

We never add water only antifreeze so we never have a problem.

Antifreeze should be changed every 5 years. Radiator flushed too.
I never cared about it when I lived in SoCal.

i also agree 5 years is typically max before the coolant starts to seperate and create issues with sludge.

First year in a few that I have somebody to worry about other than myself to worry about, but we've saved pretty well plus just sold my old WM 1200 which helps cushion things some. We still suck at getting/keeping commercial work

We have been ready for winter for a month at least. Thankfully winter has been AWOL here and we are enjoying a very busy December!!
