Mods to 377 RLBH?

[Cannon]

While camping 5 days everything worked with no issue's. Love the 377. After arriving home I found a wet spot under the kitchen slide right behind where the rear tire would have slung water up. I was driving in lots of rain. I also found tire rub on inside slide rails on both sides. It's not enough to make a mark on tires but leaves shinny spots on slide rails. Not sure if it's bouncing that much or axle twist when turning around in driveway. Next time I will try to remember to look when I get home before I turn it around. Just wondering if any other 377 owners had this happen.

I should clarify my last post. Wet spot was in kitchen floor in front of oven after I let slide out

I guess after Darin’s comments about the mod index not being updated I’ll need to get off my duff and get to work [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I’ll be working on it over the next few days post when it’s updated.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Sorry it sounds I’m putting you to work when it’s time to relax. I wish there was an easier way. Or every six months index? ��

[Magnolia Tom]

No worries Darin. It’s probably been six months since the last update

Working on changing all of the locks on my 2019. I wanted keyless and Jayco wouldn’t do it at the factory ( I asked because it was in Pinnacle. I was told it should have been pulled from Pinnacle for 2018 and will not be on 2019). So I went with RV Lock. I used them on my travel trailer.

Started with all hatch doors first because. Took 30 minutes to do all five. Then worked my way to the cam latches. I am locking all outside doors.

For hatches Remove old lock. Put new in place with four screws just hand tight so you can adjust lock. Test to make sure it closes and holds. Install four screws that keep it in position.

The cam locks were really easy as well. Take off
The catch, then the large nut holding the lock
In place. Complete the reverse with the new lock to install.

The entry door was slightly trickier. I had to notch the clear plastic on the screen door because it was hitting then lock handle on the inside. I’ll get a pic of that once I clean it up.

I sent the update before you posted so I’ll wait a bit to see if any other additions are needed before I ask a mod to make the changes.

No worries. I put my hard wired surge
protector in today and ran my fish tape to add additional light switches. Need to finish that up. I have to check the index to see if there already on the list.

Been a bit since I checked the forum, but Dan my wife says the same thing. She is like ask Tom if he did this to his rig or what we he do or how did he do it since he posted it in the forum. Thanks to Tom I have a whole list of things she wants done. Lucky for me Tom lives close enough for him to help me, right Tom!

Welcome to the club! Mine is getting repaired for the 3rd time now. I put tape over mine to help keep some stuff out.

As simple as this mod looks, it made me tired this evening. I added 4 Pieces at .93/ea at Lowe’s, so each rear cabinet door now has two roller catches. Not tested yet, hoping it does the job of keeping the doors more shut during towing. We’ve had one or both Blu-ray movie containers fall down last year on our trip out west to WY.

But before that mod, and after two years, I finally got around to this mod this afternoon:

Installing a thin metal screen over the exhaust and intake of the Truma AquaGo tankless water heater. A few snips with a scissor to cut around 4 clips of the black plastic insert, and press in til it snaps. Only once did a hornet began making a nest a couple months ago.

It got in through the intake vent, below the exhaust vent.

Something my DW has lamented about was the lack of an overhead light in the kitchen slide out. There’s one over the fireplace but not one over the cooktop. So I added one.


Drilled into ceiling


Found the existing wires to splice into


Mounted the light


Finished product


The wiring goes down thru the inside of the cabinet and is stapled onto the back of the cabinet style. For now it’s on the same switch as the under cabinet light. DW wanted it that way but I’ll probably get a switch and separate them.
