Got my wireless rear view camera installed today. Tapped into my center marker light for power to the camera so the running lights have to be on for it to work. 46' from camera to front seat of truck and a crystal clear picture.

Used wire wheel on my Pro Pride hitch and painted it. Lubed it up. Torqued all the bolts and nuts. Added grease and worked it into my power jack. Registered my two new tires

Yesterday, we replaced the ball valve seal, along with the other two part kits on our Thetford Aqua Magic II toilet. Its almost five yrs old and we fulltime. It started leaking water off and on almost 2 yrs ago. Took forever to get all three part kits together as inventory was scarce. Altogether, the kits have two green ball seals and three floor seals-one in each bag. So we have used lots of silicone and plumber’s grease during the interim which worked for about a week at a time. Now I’m frustrated even more so as the new seal held water overnight, but it all leaked out on first morning use. I greased everything including that ball seal properly.

Yesterday I installed Steadyfast system. I got in the camper and shook around, felt solid. I meant to get in again after I raised the jacks before I left, but I forgot.

Wife heard a mouse in the island this morning. Opened the drawers and saw a couple of droppings as well as some of her plastic utensils being chewed on. First one we have heard in the 6+ months since we have been living in it while our house is being built.
It had to be coming in from the hole for the drain, hot/cold hoses and wiring. So I pulled the bottom drawer out and saw a huge hole for it to get in. The hole must have been 5" and the drain pipe around 3" with no seal of any kind. So I went to the hardware store and got some expanding foam and loaded it up around the hole. Hopefully that is the end of mouse issues.

Gave the roof the spring cleaning. Will inspect seams tomorrow as well as apply the UV protection. Also washed the rest of it as it was quite filthy from the late March trip to southern Utah.
Inside I trimmed to fit a 3" memory foam mattress topper for the lower bunk - the DD will appreciate that next time we see her. Got started on the install of the RV Air Flow device in the A/C and found that my A/C sits a little higher up than expected so I need to get something to fill the gap between the bottom of the device and the metal mounting plate so there is some upward pressure on it when I torque the mounting plate up again.

I just finished my A/C mod and it works great. The airflow improvement is impressive, and the cooling throughout the rig is much improved.

I installed three MorRyde X-Factor suspension hanger braces yesterday as a precaution since others have reported frame cracks possibly from making tight turns as I need to when backing into our driveway.

Did a mod to the dining table. Posted in the 377 mod thread.
Made a video of it in case anyone wants to see it.

I finished mine up today as well though I ended up having to make a couple minor modifications to ensure that the vent inserts were firmly seated due to the width of the plenum box being on the outside of the allowed tolerances. I had the same issue with the height of the plenum box. Both were fixed by adding about 1/2" thick firm rubber door trim to the back of one of the vent inserts and the bottom edges of the main insert. With that in place I concur with you that the improvement is impressive. I especially like the noticeable noise reduction which is going to be really nice on nights we need to run the A/C.

Brought my TT home from winter storage yesterday. I will be cleaning it up and getting it ready for the season over the next few weekends. I also have to install my new Husky Brute tongue jack and JT's Strong Arms.

I just finished up installing the steady fast system. I can't wait to try it out on a camping trip!
This morning I installed Cyclone toilet vent and replaced my refrigerator roof plastic vent cover that was cracked. It turned out to be a lot easier job because the plastic. That would have been involved a ton of Dicor. The Cyclone vent was easy but I had to do a bunch of Dicor work on it.
