What Did You Do To Your RV TODAY?

[Magnolia Tom]

I added an aluminum cargo carrier on the back of the trailer so I can put my new generator on it. [emoji3]
Generator should be arriving Tuesday.

I guess the bikes are going in the bed. Either that or I'll end up getting a front mounted receiver to mount the bike rack up front. Heck, I may end up putting the genny in the bed and getting a 50' cord. I'm going to see how this works then adjust my plan if needed.

DW is 5' 0" so swapped out the little handle for this one.

I'm sure you'll get it sorted out...just make sure you share the outcome.
I blew my RV budget today...had to purchase a new garage door opener...and yes, Jasum, I installed it today myself after church...although I did have to pray about it! LOL!

I'm impressed! I don't think I would have installed my own garage door opener. Not that I couldn't, just don't think I would. I'd get my garage door guys to install it

Did you reinforce the bumper mounting? Most are light steel welded onto the frame and can barely hold the spare tire and bikes. You might check out these:

While your generator may weigh, say 75 pounds, you need to add the spare tire and mount and the weight of the bumper itself. The weight will cause the bumper to flex while driving (uneven road, potholes, etc) and can lead to failure of the weld(s) and the bumper breaking loose.

Just a suggestion.

I have a factory receiver hitch that is welded to the frame. Completely independent of the bumper. Also, my spare tire is under the trailer, not on the bumper. That's a great suggestion for someone with a bumper mounted hitch.

Upgraded the slide thermostat. Simple wire to wire swap. Can't believe I waited this long to do this one.

We picked up our trailer from storage today. It's been there since we moved to Pennsylvania from the Seattle area this past November. Opened all the windows to air it out and did a quick inspection for any obvious damage. Tomorrow it is getting a good cleaning and a closer inspection. It feels so good to have it home. We made an appointment for official PA inspection and wheel bearings lube. Now to find somewhere to camp.

Visited it in my driveway to check out the 12 volt for the TV and to. Heck for storm damage from the rains last Friday

Where did you get the blacksplash material? From a store/on line or from Jayco?

Haven't finished yet, but am in the middle of "fixing" a Jayco design/choice on combining the under bed storage and the pass through storage in my 23RB. I absolutely do not want one gigantic hole. The pass through is outside storage of outside things. The under bed storage is inside storage for inside stuff.

I build a frame to go between the existing pass through wall and screwed it in. Cut a finished luan 1/4 panel to cover the new frame work. Cut the 4/8 original plywood bed platform into 2 pieces. The larger piece is now screwed to cover the pass through storage area. The smaller left over piece is now separate support "beams" along with the 2nd part of the original bed platform. This part now serves as a shorten lift up to gain access to the new inside under bed storage area.

I still have to attach the hydraulic lift assists. They may be a bear to get installed correctly. Then lightly sand for any left over potential splinters. Then I'll be ready to put in my 10" memory foam mattress. That mattress does sleep good.

I'm taking progress pictures. I hope to be able to attach them here when I'm finished.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of lift assists for the bed in the bedroom in a Precept 31UL? I would like to make it easier to lift if to get to the storage area under the bed.

Thanks

A short ride west to Gettysburg will get you a bunch of campgrounds, and a lot of things to see and do. A history buffs dream.

So far they're holding up really well and it's been over 100* in the camper while in storage.

Just don't expect any support if you need it. I had to contact due to a bad strut out of the box (dealer a few hour drive one way). Called 4 times, leaving voice mail each time, 5 emails --- never got a response. Luckily the dealer said they would exchange when I had an opportunity to stop in. They swapped both when I got in about 6 weeks later.

Since getting our 2017 Jay Flight 21QB out of storage, I've done the following tweaks to her: Coleman Digital Thermostat, support wall beneath queen bed, Brentwood Home 11-inch memory foam mattress and added a spring to the screen door so it closes automatically.
