All from Amazon. Same cubes are on my tractor, mower and reverse lights on my RZR. Excellent lights for the price

Inside the trailer pigtail connector box, locate the wire that has continuity with the reverse connector on the TV plug. Most likely the only one not connected to a wire on the trailer. Run a wire from there into battery compartment and connect to a simple four connector automotive relay to apply battery power direct to the lights. Can get pics later if you need them

Front black and gray water tank electric valves installed. Pretty easy actually. On the 3950, if mounting the switches in same place as the cable handles were, there is enough wire supplied with the new valves. No need to add additional wire.


The other two valves Will wait till fall. Did these two because the great tank valve failed. Over 8' of cable for a 3' run between the handle and the valve. No small wonder it failed.

Or if you extend the wiring you can have all the valves controllers inside the wet bay.

The wiring will be extended for the two other valves. Not sure I could use the side like that as the water heater is right there. I am looking at the other two switches above, where the light currently resides.

Did you have to enlarge any holes? The one I added is very tight, because it is exactly 4 inches.

When I taped up the vents up last week, I rounded them out. Dutchmen made them either oblong, rough cut or oddly shaped. These fit great. Use minimal tape as these appear to be just a bit smaller than the OE ones.

Also, if you decide to get more, they are only $4 each:
Venting Products / AC Vents / "Spaceport" #8841 Fully Adjustable RV AC Ceiling Vent - DW Inc.[/QUOTE]

Curious if anyone else has good or bad experience with vent conversion to "Spaceports" from the original "Aireports"?

I just bought the Spaceport vents so I can swap mine. I pulled a few of the vents and damn what a crappy tape job. There were even wads of tape stuck up in the duct. I should have known because it was the same up top when I taped below the AC unit.

I'm hoping after taping all the supply vents, using the spaceports and possibly enlarging my returns (questions on that) I'll see improved airflow.

Flag mount moved

Found my flag and mount on ebay , figures they are offering a 28ft pole this year. Small mod to make the pole mount fit the shock bolts. I like the location, it's an eye catcher.

A few more things done. Still nothing too big. Haven't even taken it out yet. But going on our first trip this weekend! We added plexiglass dividers in the kitchen cabinets. They were open between all of them and I didn't want the dishes to end up with the food.
Before

Tracks to hold the plexiglass

Glass installed

Also added a paper towel holder under the cabinets and key hooks by the front door. As I said nothing too drastic but still very helpful little add-ons.

Nice dividers, I like it.

Have you got a link to the mount? I like where it mounts.
