Malco I will be picking up the tt tomorrow If the weather cooperates. Took it in to replace the outside kitchen door. Dealer said it was leaking, didn't notice it myself. I'm also going to add ss plates where the gas shocks attach to the door. I will get a list together and pic's soon after. One of these days the weather will break and get some camping done

Thanks We love the changes I have a few more to go if the snow ever stops. They are calling for 5-10" Sunday.
Yes, the it takes about 2 min to get the satellite to power up and tuen on the receiver then we have Dish.
LED from ebay. they are the 34 soft whites i think. I can check if you need me to no problem. The light are great I would not go back to the standard one's cost about $2.50 - $3.50. I bought about 6 at a time just easer on the wallet. I replaced all on the inside and 2 spairs.

Sweet

I may start with the outside lights and the main ones in the kitchen/living area

I'll check on ebay

Thanks!
We did the same thing in our closet with the hanging shelves and got bins at Walmart that "match" for the upper storage in the bedroom

Wow and I was worried about pulling my 30QBSS with my Ram 1500 Hemi I felt it was just a little too much trailer for a 1/2 ton chassis and went to a 2500 series Ram.

Yea. It's not "ideal" I know... but it works... The EXPY is my new company car. Had to take what I could get... Just set up the receiver and WD hitch today, set the brakes up and she tracks just fine.

Anyone out there with a 30KQBSS... Looking to de-winterize mine. Dealer says there are 3 valves I need to "flip"... 2 located under the sink and 1 on the water heater.... Can't find any ??
Any pics or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
