Some pictures

I've started doing some modification last week, so here's some pictures. : )

My first and hardest mod, the paper towel holder! lol


Camco handle/bar from Camping World


Lend A Hand handle


And the Maxxair II - I just installed it a few minutes ago and maybe took 20-30 minutes. I discovered I need to caulk around the outer edge of the slide too.


Tomorrow (hopefully, if the rain stays away) I'll be installing the Tornado tank flush.

Looks good Kristina!!!
I am thinking of adding the Maxxair Fan/Mate myself, as the dealer wants way too much for it.
As for the Tornado tank flush.....Sherdep (Matt) did that mod and uploaded pics of it somewhere on here.........

And I hear you about the rain =[ it's getting me depressed, it won't seem to stop.

How do you like the handle bar across the door?

I installed my tank flusher not exactly how the instructions say to but it is in a perfect spot for me and makes the tank cleaning alot smoother when I dump - you will be very happy withit once you have it installed.

We really like it, much easier to pull the door shut. And it wasn't outragously expensive. About 15.00.

I installed one of those also and I love it. It also made the entire screen door frame stiffer so it closes with a more solid feel.

Kristina, I just noticed the Vicars sticker in your trailer pic.
I am hoping to use them for any warranty work I might have, instead of driving 4 hours to my dealer; when I asked them, they told me they are a full service shop and would do it for me.
What experiences, if any, have you had in your dealings with them?

I installed the Tornado today. A little nerve wracking drilling into a tank!

Nice job!
I was worried about drilling a hole in my tank too but it was worth it. You will love the Tornado.

Congrats and as long as it is siliconed real good you shouldnt have any worries

though once done - you will never look back

I just hate going to a clean out station that I cant use the tornado to clean my tank out

I use a seperate hose with the black platic (back flow preventer) when I use my Tornado

What he said. It has an adhesive backing, but I caulked as well.
