Finally got around to mounting one of the battery voltage monitors. Now to find time to mount the one on the front by the front storage door.

What did you do to your camper today?
Looks professional, OldCoot. How did you get that in there?

Just marked out the hole size and cut the rectangle out with my pocket knife. Hooked the wires to the 12v outlet below.

The wife didn't like the hitch bars in the outside storage. "Too greasy." So I installed a hitch bar holder based on the fence post stinky slinky holder. 2" PVC pipe and end caps. Painted it black to disappear under the camper. Since it's empty running down the road, it doesn't have to be attached too robustly.

Also moved my FW tank drain. It was located exactly in between the two axles - a real pain to get to. Piped it out by the gray tank.

Very nice job on both mods.. Any photos on where you mounted them under the trailer. I am ready to add the fence post to mine in a few days but now I like this idea as well for the spring bar storage. I keep mine in a rear utility storage area so no grease on the nice stuff but I like this idea better.

Refresh my memory on the in-line volt meter. It shows the volts or amps being used or what is being put out by the battery?
And you just tie it into the hot/ground of an outlet?

Shows volts only-battery condition. Yes.

I re-purposed an old camp chair bag to hold the Equalizer bars in the front pass through storage.

Another good idea.
Today I washed the trailer, cleaned and UV treated the roof. I took apart the AC to install the hard start kit since it was showing up today... Got it and when I removed it from the box it rattles. A bunch of pieces fell out so back to Amazon and another ordered to be here on Tuesday.
Changed the oil in the duel Hondas, cleaned the filters and washed the rig for the next trip. After a the clogged potty thread I think I may add some Calgon to the black tank in the AM when I get home from work tomorrow morning. Might try the Geo Method again.

Had a new asphalt driveway installed the week before last and had a nice pad installed to park the 5er. Just pulled it home this morning and parked it. Feels good to have it home again.

Installed a 30 Amp RV outlet with 8/2 wiring in the house this weekend, now we can have A/C on when preparing for a trip.

I'm sure you have how to adjust it but I included that to. I think it's page #8 that you want. Her title is parts administrator her name is sherry.( that's who took care of me) She will get you what you need Don't give up yet, but it is a PIA It is probably the tilt adjustment that is causing your problem.

Got the ware strip from FR today, it came in a tube about 4' long and all wrapped up in bubble wrap. Going to install it the first chance I get, should be a done deal by the end on the week. I'll cut what I need and save the rest, should have plenty to replace when worn out on either slide.

Don't have a pic underneath. There's a cross member under the trailer that runs between the I beams of the frame. It's not as deep as the frame, it's about 1 3/4" short of the bottom flange of the I beam. Just enough to slide the end of a short piece of 2x4 above the flange and below the cross member on each end. There are 3 holes at each end of the cross member, so I tie wrapped it up against the 2x4 with 3 heavy duty tie wraps, one through each hole; so 3 on each end. Since it doesn't carry any weight going down the road, I figured this would be adequate.
