Looks great! Very well done. That will come in handy on many trips. Does it say how much water each load uses?

Mods to 377 RLBH?
Today, I finally completed the project task of leveling the sloping outdoor kitchen counter. The far right side had sagged down half an inch in 4.5 years. I’ll admit I’ve carried some minor weight at times (10-15 lbs overall) above and below the pullout stove, which has an 1/8” thick panel bottom that can hold a few items, like my 4 lb large torque wrench/case. The last true kitchen support beam lies about 5” to right of the fridge. So about 22” or so out further really has no support.
Before, 12 days after delivery:
Then 4 years later, beer head in my mug tilts:
Compare this when new above.
After the changes I made:
1x2 floor panel frame support
2x3 back leg
2x2 front leg
partial 2x3 to attach frame support
1 5/8” deck screws used in corner of back leg, partial 2x3 and other areas.
9” 1x2 to connect frame support with front leg.
Re-attach wall stud at left. The upper screw was totally stripped and wallered out. Relocated a little higher.
Beer now is level.

Thanks!
7.5 to 16 gal per hr of use.
With the addition of this appliance, I think my RV has suddenly become more functionally superior to my house, since I can take my RV on the road, but I can’t do that with my house?
Wait, I still need to add a dishwasher...

So that's what the initials "DW" stand for?
Actually, I'm going to shut up now, too hot to touch that one, Tom!

I left the space open above where the generator would sit, so I just reach up through there.
Thinking I might close that area up, trim the wall down on the generator propane tank hold, and reach through that opening to store and retrieve stuff.
The propane hold is currently my tool closet, with shelving, so I might not be able to have both... have to look when I’m at the rig this weekend.

A little over halfway through our winter break Florida trip and one thing is unanimous: having a W/D in the camper is AWESOME! We should have done this long ago.
So easy just to throw in the dirty laundry in small batches as you need it cleaned.

One of the best additions we made! On weekend trips, you don’t get to fully appreciate it unless you’re at a beach or lake and need to clean towels and swimwear. But go on an extended trip and it really comes in handy.

Anybody install this on the rear of their 377? At our seasonal site, I’ll chock the rear frame with blocks, helps tremendously with rocking. I have the JT Strongarms on the front, but a bit of fabrication was required to fit them to the rear, so I skipped that.
Dimensionally, the Lippert power stabilizers would bolt right up, just would have to move the propane line a few inches and run some power back there. But seems like it would be quite effective when on the road, duplicating the blocks at my seasonal site.

The rear leveling jacks on the 377 are a little too forward to give good stability. That looks like a good solution and wouldn’t hang down too low when traveling.
Let us know when you add it so you can do a write up! Lol

Mods to 377 RLBH?
Did a mod to the master bed lift springs. I got another 4.5” height by moving the upper brackets back 1.75” on left side and 2” on right side. Awhile back, I attempted to move the springs closer to the hinge to get a 45 degree tilt angle, but the force was too much for the 100 lb springs to keep it up. So I returned them to the factory holes.
However, the factory springs weren’t fully compressed. I used a small magnet as a slide marker on the extend arm to find out these exact distances when the bed is laid down. Now it raises a little higher and stays up firm since it weighs less at a higher angle.
Left side: 1.75”
Right side: 2”
For the right side, the upper left and right screws are spaced exactly 2”. So I aligned the upper left bracket hole to the rightmost hole.
Left side before height 26 1/8”
Right side before height 25 7/8”
Used a 42 1/2” stick to prop up bed to remove springs. A small flat bit screw driver will pop out the upper retain clip. Only need to lift one end out to separate the ball stud.
Notice the before height angle:
After:
New height left:
New height right:
If you attempt this mod, Be very careful of the stick brace is in place well as the bed without the springs is quite heavy and would hurt you if it came down. A spotter is nice.
As a side note, I extended the plywood bed 3” back in 2016 for our 60”x80” sleep number bed.

I’m not height challenged, just lazy. Modified the bathroom vent fan to have a powered lid so it can be opened and closed with a switch on the wall.

Rear camera mod to work with trucks running lights OR a switch on the wall 2020 377.
First, hook the purple wire to the camera in the rear,you need to remove the camera, disconnect the green wire (marker lights) connect the camera to the purple wire, the remount the camera.
Behind the BMPro is the other end of the purple wire. You will also need to find the green marker wire I the basement, splice into it and run the spliced wire to behind the BMPro. Then install a switch and relay wired as follows.

???
A 2020 NorthPoint comes with a manual bath vent?
My 2016 opened with the switch on the wall from the factory. I modified it so it would have a rain sensor and speed control on the wall.

Yep, they’re manual lift. Doesn’t make sense at the price point. Im installing a 3rd AC and going to move the kitchen fan to the loft, that one should have been full powered too.
