If the couch slide also holds the outside TV or if the couch is heated, there should be an outlet box.

My 3905 doesn't have any 110 volt power in the big slide. I am going to try to put a plug outlet in the stair riser next to the slide and try to run extension cords from there instead of out across the living room floor. We also need 110 to run the pump for the air bed occasionally and this would be a great place to have it. It should be easy to run power from the 110 outlet inside the basement just across from the stairs.

How then are your lights under the couch & the heated seat powered?

[macman83]

Ours is a 2013 model. It didn't come with any of those lights. We just have the regular one piece couch lounge dinette on ours. The lights above in the slide are all 12 volt.

The 3950 folks have a power outlet in the stair riser. It is tapped into the socket behind the basement wall that the central vac is plugged into. You can get a box from Home Depot for existing construction...will go in nicely.

Yea I guess why have power for something you don't have.
Didn't know the lights & heated seat were a 2014 thing.

Great......where will you be on the east coast????

I added two screen door handles.

[xhogboss]

Added four more tail/brake/turn lights to the rear; 6" ovals inboard on the existing lights and a strip light near each ramp handle. All from/through Amazon...

[CDMEY3600]

Nice Fred.... can you provide the link for the lights / hardware from Amazon?
Also do the ovals and strips function as turn signals as well or just running lights?

[xhogboss]

Yes, they function as tail light, stop light and turn signals. Here are the links and descriptions:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITYA0O0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#
2 Red Oval Oblong 6" SURFACE MOUNT LED Brake Stop Turn Tail Light Trailer Truck RV SEALED

http://www.amazon.com/PAIR-SEALED-TRAILER-LIGHT-WATERPROOF/dp/B0069TND14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424122046&sr=8-1
PAIR 17" RED LED SEALED TRAILER STOP, TAIL, AND TURN RED LIGHT BAR (WATERPROOF)

Wiring the oval lights in is pretty straight-forward. The rear frame member is a piece of C-channel and you can easily access the wiring for the existing lights there.

You'll need to drill a hole in the top of the C-channel into the void in the vertical door frame on each side, and one in the rear surface of the vertical door frame to pull your wires for the strip lights.

I soldered and shrink-wrapped mine, as I don't trust the little 3M squeeze splices.

With everyone using LED light strips, I decided to use an "all weather" blue LED strip in the step-wells. The picture looks purple, but they are really blue (which matches the blue on the nose of the coach!).

Our 3905 is a 2014...heated seats? Not that I am aware of. Maybe I'm missing something? Don't think so, but maybe????

[ewacowboy]

Our 3305 has heated recliners. The switch is in the cup holder. Lights and heat....

Here is the outcome of our weekend! Also installed a backsplash in the Master bath that I will post later. Waiting on the new sink.

[donzinger]

Very nice!

[Moto4play]

Here is the bathroom with the tile backsplash and new sink!

Did the backsplash bend with the contour of the wall? Looks nice.

Yea, that was the hard part, wife wanted the longer glass tile. It created some ledges where the stone tile followed the contour better. The smaller tile patterns would have worked better and easier to grout but this works, just harder to clean and finalize.

If I did it over, I would have used a smaller tile.

[WASABI]

That looks AMAZING!!!
