Looks like the "w" was missing.

I think I am going to get a ramp door mount from polesandholders.com , I can mount it near the roof on the "structurally sound" frame of the trailer, then with a 22ft pole, it would be nearly 35ft up. Also, walmart.com has a solar flagpole light with great reviews for only $35.

Surge protectors come in two flavors, pedestal and hard wired. Pedestal, plugs into the campground power pedestal and hard wired are installed in the camper between the incoming power and you disrtibution panel.

Most hardwired protectors have a display either included or optional, that you can monitor the incoming power, as well as see any error codes.

Wheel choke storage solutions, simple idea.

Found an easy storage location for my wheel chocks, easy to access ,new spot working great this year.Home depot velcro straps under three dollars each ,eye bolts 75 cents. I use the heavy rubber chocks seem fine.Store two chocks per side .

Jim,

After putting on some miles on Michigan roads, I am ready to call it an upgrade. Better ride for sure and the peace of mind that I can lube this setup as often as I care to with no ill effects.

Hoping to put in a new curved sound bar as well since we never received a new sub-woofer from our dealer after the original one almost caught fire.

Robot Check
Phil - I must have a much thicker TV than you as the door will not shut with the arm and TV in there - going to look for a thinner model this week for it.

Very cool! Aluminum, or???

I used .070 aluminum. I wanted to keep the material thin enough that I could bend the ends myself, and I went to my local sheet metal supplier and asked what they had available in "scrap" so I didn't have to order or purchase a full sheet. They had plenty of .070 and cut it to the overall size I needed, then I bent the ends up and installed it. It rests on the top side of the "skirt" and frame I used a few pop rivets from underneath to secure. It sure makes the chore and mess of storing wet hoses much more tolerable and they stay much nicer without the "science projects" that can grow when they are stored in tubs.

Garage AC plenum

Got a trip coming up in the heat - garage AC just does not cut it when the bunks are in the raised position. Saw another member done something similar awhile back. Took a plastic bin, cut two holes and mounted dryer vent flanges.

great idea Don...though in the past, I run with the bunk lowered from the ceiling to let air move. Have not had any problems yet.


What I may do now, since I removed the HappiJack benches, is move the bed to the lower bracket, thus when full up, there is always a place. I can also let the bed go all the way down, so the boy and dog can sleep in the bed. I have put the 70lb dog in the bunk before, not fun...

New NON- TriGlide installed. Very simple and easy. The clunking noises were making me nervous with a long trip next week. My brakes were adjusted, so should not have had that amount of noise. Comfort level high again!

That is what my new pin box looks like. Did you only change the jaw? If so, any concerns of the rest of the pin box being underrated? We figured that the original Tri-Glide was only rated for 18k, hence the reason the repair shop opted to replace the whole pin box vice only replacing the jaw.
