1. Installed folding handrail
2. Installed screen door handle
3. Installed new light fixture

Also...
- the Go Power 3000w (6000w peak) Industrial Pure Sinewave Inverter came in.

- the 80A Progressive Dynamics Lithium Charger/Converter came in

- the second Battle Born Lithium battery came in

I just need to get cable and fuses/fuse holders, bus bars/shunts, etc.

I’ll be installing a 500w solar system with 200Ah lithium power bank, that will be powering the entire trailer trough a GoPower! ISC-3000 inverter through the 30A automatic transfer switch.

A Nice little project for me in the coming weeks. And there will be pictures!

Sad day today...we just finished packing it up near everything for our departure from FL tomorrow morning. Had a great beach day for our final day. Got to see some F-18’s, an Osprey, and a C130.

Edit: Sorry the pics are posting sideways for some reason from my phone.

I just finished hooking up for our trip to Ft. Wilderness. Leaving in the morning. Not looking forward to all that towing, but I can't wait to get there.

Replaced the factory shower head with a new one.
Topped off the air with my new VIAIR system which is awesome.
Put the two year renewal tags on.

Did some cosmetic work on our '12 Eagle. Replaced the outside door stopper and hinge, all the white storage door clips and the vinyl screw cover around both doors. All were getting quite moldy looking. Removed old caulk around most of the outdoor orifices and re caulked with Dicor. Looking brand new again.

Dropped the 377 North Point off at Jayco Service in Middlebury IN this morning for end of 2 yr warranty fixes. Excellent customer service.

Towed her from Vicksburg, MS to home today. Unloaded everything! Gave her a much deserved wash/wax (that was a beatdown!) and just got back from taking her to storage. No more trips until Labor Day

As a side note: I made the mistake of asking the DW what she was making for dinner...needless to say on the way back from storage I was beaten into submission to hit a drive thru!

Lol! Dan, haven’t you been married long enough to know that when you return from a long trip the DW isn’t interested in making dinner? I usually end up ordering pizza [emoji3]

Dskyward · 07-30-2018, 05:48 PM

Yep, that’s a given...I’ve been beaten thru that episode many a time; Exactly my DW thoughts also, hit the drive thru.

Woodworker · 07-30-2018, 05:51 PM

I'm feelin more am more fortunate with every post about DW'S an dinner. Mine helps unload truck and camper, starts laundry then will cook supper. Sometimes she'll even make my breakfast for the week if we have everything on hand. That's pushing it but it's happened

I’m pretty fortunate too...I was just pushing my luck. She and my 2 DD’s unloaded the entire interior on their own while I blew out all the lines, unloaded the bikes and washed/waxed the RV. Almost all the laundry is completely done. I’m about to start helping to fold and put away. The DD’s have been in the pool for the last 90 mins, which has been helpful!

Woodworker · 07-30-2018, 06:17 PM

Well that's nice of ya to help fold. My wife can be as picky about folding clothes like she is about loading the dishwater. I can't do either to her satisfactory so I don't even try.

Installed one of these on my propane regulator. Hope it helps in keeping the propane in the system when I change tanks.

Along with one of these as my regulator fitting wouldn't work as it was an internal flare fitting

Left rear tire had a slow leak. It was leaking at a weld on the rim. So I got a new rim, not a perfict match but close. While I had the jack out, I greased the axles. Tightened a lot of loose nuts on the under side of the trailer. Replaced the original bathroom exhaust fan with a Vortex-II. On a trip last month 2 of the side marker len's caps went missing. I assume they grew legs and walked away... Anyway, I replaced 4 of the incandescent ones with LED ones. Since I use Silicon RTV to seal the side marker bases to the trailer, I used the RTV to glue the lens cap's on too. The holes in the side walls for the marker wires where pretty ragged. Looked like someone just took a hammer and chisel and punched the holes.

I replace the USB ports in the Charge Center with one that has a higher capacity and a built in voltmeter. I am in to Astronomy and use the trailer a lot for camping at star parties. So I replaced several of the stock LED ceiling lights with new ones. These are a brighter white than the originals and they can be switched over to red (why I bought them).

bdreinv · 07-31-2018, 03:03 PM

Put clear glass in entry door!

Very nice Pauls72! Awesome, I like the red led switch! I too, am an amateur astronomer, along with my DW, but we full-time in our 42' Jayco North Point, attended the week long Texas Star Party(2017 onsite) and I ended up using 2 layers of red tissue paper cutouts that I placed inside 12 plastic lenses(living, bath,hall,bedroom) for pure red color. So very neat! Fortunately, my LEDs are not hot like some and had no issues. Just red light all week long.

Can you post the two links where you bought these items?

Pauls72 · 07-31-2018, 03:49 PM

We leave Friday for the Nebraska Star Party. This will be year 7 for me. The first 4 where in a tent and back of the SUV during storms. In the past we used red lanterns and red flashlights, kind of a pain. I only replaced 2 ceiling lamps in the living area of the trailer and one in the bathroom. That appears to be more than enough red light. With another 10 in the ceiling I could go poor replacing these things.
