I'm running on Onan power right now and my Norcold is running on propane. No, no issues with shore power, just my normal monthly routine. Switch the Norcold to propane for the day and run the Onan with a load on it for an hour.

20 minutes into the 1 hour run and all is good.

Norty I'm going to replace the awning on my '12 Eagle as well. Just wondering what you went with to replace yours.

The tank sensors were not working consistently. So I Filled the black and grey tanks half full with Dawn, ice and sensor cleaner and went for a drive. I bought the camper last fall and the PO said it had not been used in a couple years. Luckily that did the trick cleaned the sensors off and now everything works!
Opened the awning to make sure it worked and just doing overall inspection. Cleaned it up with a little simple green and then sprayed it with 303

Installed an observation camera on my 2020 Jay Flight. Hit it lucky as the screws for the top clearance lights screw into 2x2 studs that make up the framing for the rear if the trailer. My camera bracket is wide enough that I was able to screw it into the same studs.
The camera came with a 7 inch monitor that went into my '05 Ford Exploder. When I plugged the trailer in and turned on the parking lights, I got a sharp clear picture. It was after I took some pictures to send to my son that I realized that I didn't connect the antenna to the monitor! (Senior moment working overtime!)Click image for larger version

Upgraded Merlbourne horn

I hated the stock horn that came with our 2018 Merbourne. Bought a set of Hella Supertones and shoehorned those behind the grille. Used the bumper bolts (bought longer flanged metric bolts) to mount each side. Worked like a charm.

What thermostat did you have before? What is the advantage of the new one over the old one. That looks nicer then the one in my trailer.

I had the stock analog thermostat it worked but there were hash marks rather than temps on it so I was guessing what temperature I was setting it. The new one being digital eliminates guessing and can be programmed to heat the camper per a schedule I choose. I can also see what the air temperature is in the camper.

Finally finished replacing the drawer above the fireplace with a shelf that we'll use for the sound bar.

With some quality help from my SIL, we installed the stackable washer/ dryer! The thread with pics is in the Mods forum. After all done we realized I had a small leak under the shower, not related to the install. When they installed the drain under the shower, only one end of the 90° elbow was actually glued, go figure. I'm pretty sure we were able to fix it with a little drying out, and some pipe dope, no not dope pipe. Edit: nope not fixed, still dripping, will work on it tomorrow. Thank goodness they had the sense to put an access panel right at the drain.

Got up on the roof and gave it a good washing before the sun got too high this morning.

Pulled out all existing coax cable and rewired the entire camper for cable and satellite. I couldn't believe the absolute bizzare routing Jayco used. The configuration was confusing to say the least. I used all solid copper RG 6 cable and high quality barrel connectors. I decided to use the ceiling as my path to keep all cable inside instead of going underneath.

Washed it, loaded the fishin gear, took inventory, made the bed an put the new gadget I bought to the blank tank for a washin. Good news my anal tendencies have kept the blank tank clean.
Then I washed the truck.
I was lookin forward to waxing both with Rejex but I noticed the wax I put on both back in Feb. was still "there". Recommendations I read said for a lasting application don't apply over an existing wax so I guess I'll wait for another month or 2 to try out the Rejex.

I was able to get a good coat of the Turtle Wax Seal & Shine everywhere except the front cap before the weather started turning on me. Looks like a few iffy days during the week so will have to catch the front cap on the coming w/e....

Reinstalled the TPMS since I received a new TM77 monitor and 4 replacement sensors from Minder Research. The original 4 sensors were too far out of tolerance that I was not willing to install them and my monitor developed a brown burn line down the middle of the screen. All items were replaced under warranty.
