Agree. Nice job. Assume you don’t bathe in there?

After this past trip we decided that a shelf needed to be added to the upper pantry cabinet, this would help us from having to pile stuff up in such a tall space.

I happened to keep a spare shelf from a wardrobe cabinet that we disposed of last year, thinking it would come in handy someday, well it did. The stain color was pretty close so all I had to do is rip it on the table saw and add wall anchors and three L-brackets, I cut the factory vertical wood fastening strip for the rear pantry panel in the back left corner to the height I wanted and used it as one of the shelf supports.

What brand slide topper did you install?
I installed a volt read out. Hooked into my front panel wires. Tells me when my bolts are low.

I think I would have used a hummingbird on the paper towel holder instead of a dragonfly. That would have really been classy to top off that rig. Great mods all the way around and a beautiful organized shop! I just went back and read through all these post.

Finally got tired of knocking over cups while sitting on the sofa watching movies at night.

I researched foldable cup holders and found some inexpensive options but most were plastic. Ran across these oversized stainless steel holders on Amazon, they are a little pricey, but very heavy duty and large enough to hold a Yeti Rambler. I put one on each end of the sofa, they should serve us well.

Hey so going back to post #406 you mentioned increasing carrying capacity. Does this mean if I upgrade my tire it will up the CCC listed on my sticker?

No, the GVWR is set my the manufacture.

I was saying that the actual weight on the axle versus the max allowable load for the tires gave me excess load capacity on the tires themselves.

Ah ok cool! I didn't think it would be that easy lol!

This is what I did. I cleaned up all the wiring. Note. That's the propane feed going to the battery box as well. It's winter here. I tape up the end of it and store it in the battery box. Thdd battery is in the heated garage on trickle charge.

Yeah I worked some on that rat nest of factory wiring on the tongue myself....

Finally got tired of having to swap the drain hose between the black tank outlet and the grey tank. I'm not really sure why Jayco didn't combine these into one drain connection at the factory.

I bought a 3"x3"x1-1/2" sanitary tee, a 1-1/2" street 45 degree elbow, a 1-1/2" 90 degree elbow, 10 ft of 1-1/2" Sch. 40 ABS pipe, ABS glue and some 24 ga. metal hanging strap.

Both factory drain valves remained in their original positions, I just cut the grey tank drain hose connection off, routed the pipe over to the black tank drain and tied them together near the outlet.

Filled both empty tanks with clean water and both drained as well as they did separated.

Win!

I turned off my switch and left it all winter. When I picked it up, battery showed half charge on the idiot lite. After towing a couple hours, I spent 3 days camping wo AC, no problem.

I don't have the Baha addition, so mine sits a little lower. I am going the look when I get home to see if looks possible.
