Began taking apart the electric jack (to troubleshoot why the lights aren't burning) and boogered the heads on some of the screws. Headed to get some replacements as I didn't have any that size laying around.

Recharged battery with solar panel. We do this every couple weeks.

Though a bit chilly out, I installed a Camco screen door cross bar and screen door opener. Came out good, probably could have made the opener after seeing what it was, but it was only $5 and it works.

What would you make it with? I've been contemplating an opener myself. The ones I've seen look like a toilet handle.

Unloaded the TH, washed it; and backed it under the RV cover, after returning home from our first camping trip of this year. Was a beautiful weekend, but ended way too quickly.

Well, here it is: http://www.amazon.com/Camco-43953-Sc...gy_auto_text_y
It is not much more than a grommet and a plastic stick with a handle. Coming up with something with the flat handle may be tricky, but you don't really need it. You could get a grommet and a wooden dowel that fits snugly and accomplish about the same thing. That's just my early morning, barely awake idea

I've seen someone make it with a toilet flush handle, but for $5 this look way nicer, and doesn't feel like your flushing the toilet every time you open the door.

Installed some LED Floor Lights in hallway / steps to bedroom, much easier to see when going downstairs at night without turning on bright overhead light

Mine is in storage for the winter, so all I did was dream about it.

Ed, they are hard wired, changed hallway light switch from single switch to dual switch, one switch for overhead lights, one switch for floor lights.
Thinking about adding the same floor lights in the bedroom for night lights on both ends of the dresser unit at the end of the bed.

Unplugged the shore power after a couple weeks of being hooked up, turned off battery disconnect switch.

I was just looking at tires again on Etrailer.
Don't want to buy any until I get it out of stoarge and measure for 14" or 13"
I'd oviously like the 14" if I have room.
Just waiting for April.
I did buy new brake pads for the TV. Just have to install them. Something to do lol
