My latest MOD list to do this month

[Iggy]

Because I'm so bored and can't hit the road in my Georgetown for awhile I have decided to do a few things I've been wanting to try out.

Here is my short list:

1. Adjust windshield wiper arm tension & install new 28" wiper blades

2. Add new 30 amp circuit from engine battery to new 6 circuit fuse panel under dash

3. Wire in (2) double USB charging Stations. 5volt 3.1amps each. USB needed for GPS, Color Tire Pressure Monitor, Dash Camera and tablet and cell phone charging.

4. Sound Proof Dog House with DYNAMAT 11905 Hoodliner heat and sound reduction blocker

So what are you planning to do on your Georgetown in the next few months?

Want to cover over and help?

Here are a few pictures of what the items look like

Boy can't put much over on you.
#2 was deleted which was installing the 5 Star Tuning which I did a few weeks ago.

I have correct the list above.

What is this about a doghouse? I assume it’s for you if your wife decides to put you there.

LOL
Actually the whole motorhome is really my doghouse.

Can you post pics of the doghouse change and also let us know if/how much it helps with the noise? We have a 2017 36B5 and its pretty noisy. Usually that's good since it covers up most of the noise our son is making but I do occasionally need to hear what he's saying ;-)

Iggy,
How did/do you adjust the tension on the wipers?
Also have you had a chance to try out the five star tuning ? If so what is your take on it.

The doghouse insulation will reduce the engine noise a little bit but not totally.
I will try and add some pictures as well as the end result test as my wife will tell me if it did anything or not. I suspect it will help as little

1. Oh gosh it is difficult to describe as I haven't done it yet.
You usually have to remove the whole arm and release the spring and adjust the metal wedge and reinstall the spring.
Now, If I can't get the arm off easily I will try to do this adjustment while the arms are in place. The problem will be more difficult as the spring will be very tight and I may be unable to release it.
I know their are tools to remove the arm but I may just not spend the money on this.

2. I will not be able to test my 5 Star Tune until my long trip in Sept.
So keep watching.

OK, I was just wondering

I have tightened the spring before. A little movement on the bracket tightens it a lot. Move the bracket half way up the arm. Then reattach the wiper arm and check.
I had to take the whole arm off in order to remove the spring. I used a vise grip pliers to grab the spring, pull and remove. Then I pushed up the small metal bracket half way, then reattached the spring. Works great and no missed wipe.

How difficult was it to remove the arm?
Did it come off easily or difficult? Did you use any tool to remove?

Not hard at all
Remove the bolt, lift the arm fully out till it stays out, then wiggle it off. Popped right off for me.
Wish I had my ring here and I would take pictures.

We may have soak it a bit with WD40 as I tried once and it wouldn't budge.
Thanks

I believe they're secured with acorn nuts. Not bolts.

Yes. True

My latest mod. Table between the seats.

[wrapperman]

Nice mod.
How do you get out of the chairs?

[bubbles]

I would think the table is only there when the seats are turned around when camping.
