We have been on the road for 5 months now. We just arrived in Bellingham, WA. We spent a month in Alaska. It's their rainy season now. We picked up the pace a little to get out of the rain and cold. You get updates on our blog adventuresinskyhorse.com.
I have had to replace the u joints on the front axle, the wiper motor, a coolant hose, and the starter. Other than that it's been routine maintenance. The air lines have a burning smell which I have yet to figure out.
The cabin should have been better sealed. We get dust inside after being on dirt roads and in Mosquitos have made their way inside. The condensation in the plane has been heavy in the cold weather. I should have put something as a barrier for the condensation so it doesn't come through the panels. I didn't install a heater so we use the stove which works fine. There is an occasional leak that I find when it rains. The max fan quite working, the company sent me a new motor at no cost. The rear back up camera quite working, who cares. The horizontal propane tank valve wouldn't allow us to fill it. No one in Fairbanks had the part to fix it. I bought a standard 20lbs tank and now use it. In the furure i will use non custom components so that can be serviced or replaced in many locations. Anyway there is always little projects going on to keep me busy.
It's awesome not working and seeing new things with my wife and two dogs. I feel very fortunate and I am glad I stuck with the build to completion. I love the bright smiles and amazement skyhorse brings to people. People have lots of questions unfortunately they are redundant. Here's to many more memories.
