Remodeled the interior

Or 2017 282 DBHS didn’t have the flow or comfort that we wanted. So we made a few changes. IKEA is a great store for RVers. The air flows A LOT better and the comfort and storage convenance is off...

Right, one drop won’t bust a pipe, but it could crack a joint or seal. I’m in PA and we sometimes go a month below freezing allowing ice to have all sorts of swelling time to crack PEX joints that...

I don’t know about the satan worshiping but I’m definitely a metal head. I went to one of those concerts once, not my idea of a good time.

No real reason. Just a few concerns with the flexing of the frame and mounting it solidly since the leveling system sometimes lifts a tire off the ground. The belly of mine isn’t really flat either,...

I do the same thing. I use my 24” breaker bar with the deep well socket turned straight as my measuring device.

That tool that comes with the hitch is just dangerous. They should be ashamed of...

I would if I were the one smart enough to come up with the idea. How they thought fence post + rain gutter= sewer hose storage is beyond me.

Custom tire cover

I’m fortunate to have a wife who is a ninja with her sewing skills. We attend a lot of concerts and festivals so she made this cover for me and embroidered some of our favorite bands we have seen. I...

Slid out sewer hose storage

I saw a few different ways to make these online, here’s mine. It’s long enough to hold both my hose and an extension. Works great and now I have more space in the basement for the wife’s shoes.

I agree. Jut a CYA thing. Wear basketball shoes and step on the bumps. I’m 210 and it didn’t even flex. I’m still considering putting a ladder on the back after attaching diamond plate mounting...

I was surprised to hear that too since I’ve been up there a few times without issue. But I was still conscious of stepping on the rafters. From my research I’ve discovered that the roofs aren’t as...

You can email your manufacturer with your VIN and they can tell you a lot about your rig. So far I’ve found out I can’t put a ladder on the back, my roof isn’t walkable and my front vent is braced...

Magnetic Sunshades

After a week at the beach in North Carolina last July we discovered that the sun is not a friend of the AC unit. Way too much was making it in and heating us up; until now.

I picked one up after the plastic grip slipped off mine. Came about an inch from the wrench slicing my jaw. 18” bar with a deep 1” 12 point socket. Unbelievable how much easier the process is.

Lav Faucet upgrade 282 DBHS

I did a remodel on a bathroom in my house and had a nice faucet leftover so I hooked it up in the camper.

I pull mine and hook it up to a tender in the garage. My theory is if it’s sensitive to the elements, why let it sit when there’s an easy opportunity to protect it. I do the same with my TV. It’s...

We tow it with a 2007 Lincoln Mark Lt (F-150) and average 10 mpg. For a hitch...
