Hammered in the pin that fell out of the bottom of a hinge in one of the kitchen cabinets made by Jayco’s “Amish craftsman.” Luckily DW caught it before it went down the sink. Checked all the other hinges to make sure they weren’t working their way out too.

Installed Sumo Spring bump stop replacements in the front of the MH. Also installed a Hellwig front sway bar, but got to the last bolt and stripped it. 
And things were going SO well on this install. I guess I should've expected it; things NEVER go that smooth for me...
And of course, I didn't have the tools on hand to do anything about it, so now I get to spend ANOTHER day laying on the hot driveway working on this. Luckily it should only take a few minutes to fix it and button things up. Then I can go for a test run, and hook up my Grand Cherokee and go for test run with that in dinghy mode.

It was such a nice, albeit hot day, I gave it a bath. All the little black streaks are gone. Spotless!....Half an hour later, the sky opened up, and dumped 3" of rain.....spots! (Sigh)

Added LED light strips behind the control panel. The Jayco emblem doesn’t show very well, but the backing behind it is black vs. the white that’s behind all of the labels.

Installed a MaxxAir II on the main vent of my 174BH. I used the black one to help cut out the morning light which wakes up the kids. We'll give it it's trial run this weekend camping in Bellingham at The Cedars.
This is a temporary location as it will be moved to the bathroom vent and a MaxxAir Maxxfan installed in it's place

If this question was meant for me, it was actually very simple. You just bolt it to your existing 14x14 vent frame, no drilling into your roof or disturbing seals. One side is hinged so you can flip it up to clean anything out or check vent seals later on. Instructions come taped to the vent for easy reference.
It keeps the trailer dark in the mornings, but as my wife pointed out, it cuts a lot of light out in the daytime so when boondocking/dry camping, we may have to use the lights to brighten things up in there at times. If I can figure out how to add a ladder to the 174BH I could simply flip the hinge to allow daylight in.
Cheers

I put a matching dimmer switch in to control the awning light. A touch dimmer. $20 and about 15 minutes to do it.
