Let's see 'em!! They have to look better than the dull aluminum fender skirts.

I installed my window yesterday and I have to say it is a vast improvement over the opaque glass that came in mine. It is nice to be able to see outdoors and have ventilation without having the door open.

It is definitely worth the investment!!

Just moved my vacuum to inside the basement just as you open the door. I'm redoing the wall which will add another foot of storage area. Easy to get to the bag now just open the door and it's right there.

While I was behind my basement wall the other day I removed four foot of extra vacuum cleaner hose. I figured the longer the hose the harder the machine has to work.
Now the problem is, the bag is full and I can't find where I put the new bags!!

I am on my second bag. I changed the first one a couple weeks ago. Was going to buy some extras on Amazon and even though I have the part number that is on the bag on spares I wasn't sure what to order. Something to so with the shape I think.

I have the part number out in the trailer if you need it.

Thanks Arlan, I still have the original if I can't find the spares. How can one lose something in such a small space?

Hey, do you have a pic by chance? I've got my basement taken apart right now and would love to see where you mounted the vac? I removed a bunch of excess hose already so I might have to leave it where it is. I'm rebuilding the walls too, getting rid of the crappy framing they used. I found almost all of the plumbing connections to be way less tight than I would prefer, and I also found a Schwintek control box hanging by one screw.

I'll take a picture this weekend. I mounted it just to the left as you open the basement door on the right side. It's about where the 110 plug is came mounted.
That is its right under the stairs by where the inside vacuum sweep & connection is.
Other thing to check is pull the filter from the h2o pump. We found plastic shavings in it. Cleaned those out & have way better pump pressure now.

Good call, didn't think about that. I had a ton of PEX shavings in every faucet aerator, so that just makes sense.

There is all that room under the propane tanks so added a wire shelf for some of those light items I use every time out.

V3605 didn't come with the large rear door grab handle. I removed the small stock one & mounted in on the inside. Added this one to match the front door one.

Door between garage & living area wants to blow shut when side or rear door is down so this was a easy fix.

MY wife didn't care for the comforter that came with the rig, Here is one that came into the thrift store my wife manages. Couldn't have been a better match if we tried.
