Camping in it! Washed it before the trip. Always nice to have a clean camper at the campground.

I agree! I usually wash mine (truck too) before a trip.

Crawled all underneath and inside throughout to seal penetrations in the floor and frame. Used two full cans of Great Stuff expandable foam and copper mesh in all areas. Our TT is new and we've not had any rodent problems yet. But I'll sleep so much better tonight knowing I just completed what the factory should have done from the get go.

We installed a second 12v battery (6v, I know, but already had one new), had flip one around to reach cables. Used two equal-length 4ga cables (40"), running in parallel.
+to+ and -to-
Connect batteries together, then camper positive to one battery, ground to the other. Always connect positive first, disconnect negative first, to avoid arcing. I just learned this. 40 years of doing it backwards [emoji15] http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/595ad52ae7b7d/2x12Volt.gif

Is there a way to move those wires away from the cross member? Driving down the road you don't want a short or those creating a bad ground.

Installed EMS HW30C

Installed the Progressive Industries EMS HW30C that I purchased from Amazon. I installed the main unit under the bottom shelf of the entertainment center where the power cord enters the TT. I put the remote display in the control panel which is near the entry door. I wanted to be able to close the door on the unit so I wouldn't be able to see the lights flashing at night. I really wish the display had a button to disable the lights at night.

Some disassembly of the cabinet was required.


Unit mounted with cover removed.


Remote display in control panel.


The bottom shelf of the cabinet was stapled together (albeit poorly) and I removed all the staples. I installed some cleats on the back wall and reassembled everything with screws so I can gain easy access for servicing the EMS unit and when I install a quick disconnect power cord.

Sorry those photos uploaded sideways

You'll be pleased with it. I installed a black one last season and love it. Very accurate.

Picked her up from storage and towed her home this morning. She's all plugged in, running A/C to keep cool and getting the fridge/freezer down to proper temp so we can start to load up tonight and tomorrow!

Added two fold-able drink holders on the side of the sofa on my 23RB. The person on the left side of the sofa needed a place to put their drink. The second fold-able drink holder is for the over flow person who is sitting on my "liquor cabinet". It's a 5 gallon bucket decorated in Va Tech colors and a cushioned lid. This "cabinet" will hold 6 750 ml bottles of what ever spirits you might desire.

Also added a double remote control holder to the back of the dinette seat back. They will reside here when we're parked. On the road, they will have to be placed in a drawer.

Installed some cabinet rods in the medicine cabinet to keep stuff from spilling out after a road trip.

Also had the pleasure of going to the DMV in the Commonwealth. Got it titled, registered, and tagged. Got personalized permanent trailer plates. By the 3rd year of registration I'm ahead, money wise.

Still waiting on the big prize, a digital Coleman-Mach thermostat. Should get it by the end of the week. Plus, my son ordered a counter top extension for me. For what ever reason, only Prime members could buy it. He is, I am not.

I know this is a relay/capacitor for hard starts. Are you installing it so you can run on just one generator?

During our last trip the black water tank level sensors read Full the whole time, even after dumping. Today I bought a camco swivel stick and flushed the tank for about 10 minutes. Drove back to the dealer who I bought the tool from with the trailer to use their dump station, drained the tank and the gauges read empty! Not a bad day.

Ordered a bowed shower curtain rod to take the place of the curtain holder I currently have in the 23RB.

My brother and I changed out the TV over the cab in our 2006 Jayco Jayhawk Class C RV. We removed the old Sharp TV which still worked, screwed in a flat piece of plywood across the opening of the cabinet, installed the TV mounting brackets and a new 40 inch Sony smart television. Looks great and works great as I can watch all the Netflix movies I want. Next project is replacing the couch which I made an appointment with Camping World to do for me
