Lol!
I made some last week while we were camping. Made some regular Neapolitan crust, gluten free crust, and even some cauliflower crust for the guest that was on a paleo diet. Probably going to make some more this weekend

We bought the Maxxair vent cover, and then read the instructions: "Do NOT use with Fantastic vent fan." Have you had any problems?

I use a Maxxair cover with out Fantastic fan without issue, it's just that the Maxxair is low profile and the Fantastic fan motorized lid won't open all of the way.(about 90%) But... it has a pressure switch that stops it when it hits the underside of the cover, 3 years and no problems. Your mileage may differ

Bought and am getting ready to install MaxxAir vent covers for the roof fans, maybe a job for this weekend.
I would like to know more about your shore power meter located in the power control module.

Thanks, Don

Curious, can we see a picture of the shoe rack?

Ours second is a shoe rack that I built under the steps. When ever we fish, hike through mud, dust, etc. shoes go under the steps for drying/aerating. Keeps them out of the way, we haven't tripped on them once.

We did the screen door push bar thing, also. Then there was the three hook coat rack just inside the door, shutoff valves on the FW tank overflow tubes, the Progressive EMS, bug screens on the furnace outlet, water heater vent, and outside fridge access door, added more rail to the side, for a homebuilt table alongside the outside stove, a made-from-scraps fixture to hold the truck hitch off the ground (attached to the tongue frame), multiple puck lights in cupboards, pantry, and front compartment, sealed up the electrical junction box on the frame, new residential faucets, additional amber marker light on the frame next to the gas quick connect, and the biggy was the memory foam mattress. Whew! I think I got most of 'em.

Lots of mods

Did a lot of mods to our Redhawk 29XK.
The biggest one has to be the conversion of the over the cab bunk bed to a cabinet/closet.
That was a tricky one because nothing is level, straight or plum.
And that big nose thing flexes so much that I had to use gas struts to keep the doors shut.
The (never used) mattress made a great headboard for the guest bedroom.

This is a good thread, but it could be amazing if most of these changes had really happened.

There must be pics, or it didn't happen!

Has anyone made a mod of installing an adjustable bed in their 5th wheel ? I’m wondering if the extra weight made a big difference in towing and also if you can keep the under the bed storage without taking all the framing out
