Just a shower curtain tension rod. Very easy and removable quickly if needed..

Picture came out sideways, but my son was complaining that his feet hurt going up to the loft and I agreed. Solved by getting 3 pieces of wood, using countersink bit and adding them on top of existing round slats. Best upgrade yet! No more painful feet!! Lol

Hi Upstate, I did the exact same thing, over two months ago. I thought at first that's a picture of my ladder! I countersinked two screws each side the same as you. I too, didn't see a need for the top rung as not necessary. My feet hurt also climbing the round rungs on the ladder. I've not painted mine either. Great post and I'm sure a dozens of owners have already done the same thing.

Nice mod. But I have one question about the ball mount residential design. Won't the fan blades strike the ceiling during towing? Or did you modify the ball mt not to swing so much? I can only imagine how rough and bouncy the rear of the coach is while towing. After each trip in mine, the pull chain gets wrapped around a blade and we have to undo before turning on. Maybe plant a camera on the island to watch during your next trip?

For our stock fan, we keep our direction set in reverse to move the air better than the normal downdraft. There's no adequate space to allow for good downdraft.

I haven't had any issues with my ceiling fan hitting the ceiling. I installed it with no modifications to the mount.

It's a cold snowy Saturday morning here. Glad this thread popped up. I just went through all 47 pages while having my morning coffee. Some good ideas here. I like spying on everyone's mods. I plan on steeling a few ideas

2nd and 3rd Better pictures of my TV mod in living room

4th picture My mod which gave us ice! Best mod ever (Jayco neglected to hook up feed where it was supposed to be)

Hi Upstate, when we took delivery of our 2017 377RLBH on May 27, we had no water or ice from the residential Frigidaire reefer. Turned out, the factory forgot to turn on a valve on the floor in the island below the sink. You have to remove the wooden cover in the corner which hides the sink drain pipe. Two screws on the floor. I only thought there was just one valve to the left of the refer, which is on the floor behind the drawer under the stove. Did your model not have a water line valve at this sink floor location?

Now reach back there and flip the secret breaker switch on top of the furnace.

We purchased our 377 with the intent of converting the bunkhouse to an office/classroom. The first thing to go was the hide-a-bed and the bunk. I heard somewhere that everything in there can be taken out. We sure couldn't manage it without doing damage so some disassembly was required. This made it easier to put in storage so in the end it was a wash.

I then had to put in a desk for me. Our daughter uses the built in desk with no problem. Home depot, a table saw, some screws and brackets later here it is. Not the prettiest desk in the world, but I needed to make it as light as possible. Even with the shelving unit below it is less weight than the bed.

Not me. The dealer has had it now for 4 months.

Ouch Klassic. What are they trying to fix? Brakes?

No kidding. I couldn't go 4 months without our camper. As you know, living in Texas we can camp year round so we take ours out at least once a month.

They are still looking into the brakes.
Getting the floor supports done.
The dining slide roof is bellied down and pudding water in the middle against the the trailer.
Can see he droop in the facia board standing on the stairs looking across it.
Someone else on here posted about it too. Now I can't find it.
He said Jayco approved his repair and the slide roof needs to be replaced.
Two weeks ago my dealer just got the approval...after 3 and a half months!!
As of then, they still hadn't got approval on the floor supports.
The supports are so bad that I have to stop/start the slide about 15 times to get it to come in.

Both awnings make the awful noise that Carefree has taken ownership of (according to a post on this forum) and from what I read it was simply getting new lighter pressure struts to replace the old ones.
Apparently I am getting 4 new arm assemblies.

I made the actual appointment in July for October. Took it in then and there it sits. Good thing it is winter up here.
I am a little worried about the slide roof replacement. I let them know I am not opposed to taking it back to the factory for that job.
The dealer seems confident. They are a huge dealer with many bays. I've seen 1/2 million dollar MH's interiors and dashes stripped down in there.

There is also about 5 or 6 NorthPoints in the repair yard too. I know mine was sitting beside another forum members.
And on the other side was a another members Siesmic.
Sort of funny.

[Magnolia Tom]

Whoa, that's some list Klassic. Sorry you're having so many problems. Hope you get your rig back soon and all repairs are done to your satisfaction. Good luck!

I do have a mod planned for spring though.
I'm replacing my T-105's with these puppies
SURRETTE SOLAR BATTERY S-550, 6V, 550 AHR
I should have just got them in the first place.

I've been too busy modding my new truck.
I've hack satellites back in the day...hacked PlayStations ...hacked iPhones
Never thought I would be hacking my truck.
FORScan software and a computer hooked up to the OBD port can make the truck features do all sorts of things that it didn't come stock with.

[Bookemdanno]

Let us know when you get her back and how it all turns out klassic.

[Magnolia Tom]

I have forscan too. Only did the DPF % screen so far. Think I'll enable the DRL as well.

Ya..the DPF hasent been found yet on the '17. Some other stuff won't carry over either. Lots of stuff for the F150 won't carry over.

With the push button start and you get out with the fob, you will receive 2 full blast horn honks. Not no more. That was worth the money right there.

I've done...can't shift out of park with out the fob...windows up/down with the remote...fogs on with the highbeams...fog light goes out with blinker then back on....heated/cooled seat control and icons on the screen...

To carry this hijack back to a NorthPoint topic. The '17 has the optional trailer camera/TMPS option...which I never got because the whole setup is kind of dumb and you can't drive with the trailer cam on. But now I sort of wish I did get it. Just would have require more modding.

I just ordered a video interface for SYNC 3 that I can hook the composite out of my wireless receiver to and have trailer cam video all the time and still have full use of SYNC 3
Plus whatever other vid I want to plug into it.
