Ok then Tom, Jayco may have pulled a rabbit out of a hat on that one.

Where did you pick up the struts? One thing I never understand is why install a line of sight controller to something like the radio when you have to stand close and hold the door open?

I got mine from my dealer. You can also find them online at your favorite retailer. Amazon, Tweetys, CW, etc.

Finally got the steps done.
I am just about ready to cuss you guys out for it is getting very hard to keep up with the "Jones's".   Well I finally got my bunk steps done and I took a pic of the stain in case some of you want to follow suit. I used solid oak and applied 2 coats of stain.

Thanks Magnolia Tom! I did this mod and the airflow IS 100% better. I put one of the rings back into the hole flush with the ceiling and can barely fit the tip of my index finger in the airflow area. They do more harm than good. Thanks again.

Yeah, it's amazing how effective this cheap and easy mod works.
Maybe Jayco will take note and start doing this from the factory [emoji3]

That looks like an eagle instead of north point. I don't seem to have enough room on my screen door to mount my handle

Outdoor kitchen converted to litter box area and additional storage.
I removed the outdoor kitchen and converted it into a litter box area and additional storage. Created a tunnel above the first step inside for the cats to access the area.

Dishwasher Install - SPT 18 inch portable dishwasher
Installed a SPT 18 inch portable dishwasher.
Dishwasher was first modified by removing the roller wheels (was too high with the wheels) and installing adjustable height cork pad feet. This allows a gap underneath to not block airflow from the existing heat vent in the floor.
Next mod was cutting holes to route hoses through the side of the dishwasher along the bottom of the island. Then direct splicing additional hose to the sink hot water supply and drain pipe. It fits just right so the slides just barely squish the dishwasher. Electric cord simply plugs into existing outlet on end of island.
Finally, some 4 hole straps to keep it from moving around.

What is the best sealant to use on rear roof corners to seal it from top edge down to the rain gutter? Factory sealant seemed thicker and harder then normal silicone. They ran it from the self leveling edge down to the gutter but was coming loose after a year. I tried regular silicone but it didn't last long at all.

I ordered this too after seeing your post BUT mine arrived with the top bracket Pin drilled too close to the end of the pipe. Stromberg Carlson is supposed to send me a new one today. Pic below showing how pipe is not going into the inside saddle in the bracket. The bottom bracket pic is normal
