This was a fun project while DW out shopping
Electric Awning breeze/light wind tie down.
Tip get the aluminum CamJam not the plastic
There are about 40lbs of ezeup hold down weights in the bag
Or attach to picnic table
Here is the S-hook
All put away for travel the baggie idea is to keep the 2 from tangling like Christmas lights
Off to the next one

The under stove door would pop open sometimes during travel not often so we just thought we did not get it latched closed good, well that is not the case the pin was riding on-top of the rollers
I lowered the pin some
Pin lines up perfect in the middle of both rollers
I hope you enjoy the post
Off to the next one

Someone had posted something similar a few years back I finally got a round to checking mine out. Front AC vents does not blow air out like rear vents
Step 1
Step 2 remove filter door to expose screws
Step 3 remove little covers to expose back screws
Step 4 I found the big hole not taped at the factor. Guess what my AC vent tape is at home. We have one night left on our trip but i can not leave it disassembled DW due back from shopping soon. I do not need to explain anything with it put back together
Step 4 the good vent taped correctly
Step 5 My quick fix. The dividers from my organizer seems like a good idea since AC and Duct tape at home.
I needed to trim some
I did have some clear tape to help hold in place, the divider is tapered like a wedge
It did help allot. When i get home I will use AC vent tape for tight seal.
Not a bad little project. It is disappointing the quality of travel trailers. Our trailer is on its 3rd season i should have done this sooner.
I can not think of anymore projects so I guess it is time for lunch with beer’thirty in a few more hours
I hope you enjoyed the post

Did similar last year. Also filled in the ends of each vent run at the front and rear with some styrofoam and tape to make the last vents the terminal point. Made a huge difference back in the bunk house section.

Did some old fashioned holding tank flushing. Also discovered a feature that somehow I never noticed before. The water access panel has a slide door to allow the city water connection to be attached while the door is closed. Could make a difference with climate control in hot and cold weather.

They will snap off. I broke a louver pin on a couple of them trying to figure it out. Seems like there’s a clip in the front a back of each duct (going in the air flow direction).

I did find a couple more items on my list
Before
After DW did not want me to use screws and I agreed so I went command hooks
We use to leave TV in trailer while not in use at home and while we traveled down the road, last few trips we had issues with TV coming on. The old un plug and plug back in was getting to be multiple times. So Wally World I went early while DW and dog slept in and bought a new TV for $128. I decided I will take off the wall and lay it on the bed while traveling then take it in the house while in driveway. I replace the Phillips hold screw with a thumb screw on the swivel wall mount
Before
After
A close up of thumb screw with washer glued on
Beer’Thirty is here
I hope you find my posts useful & entertaining

Ok, I’ll bite... How do you convert to run both? I’ve already converted for quick connect. Would love to see or hear how you leave the 1 pounders as an option.

I bought the Revert-a-Q kit from Torklift.
Basically it’s a regulator with a quick connect on the output end and a small bottle connection on the input side.

Changed the oil in the generator today while my wife’s cousin babysat me.
I learned that I need a good way to catch oil, a way to extend the oil output hose on the generator, a short extension for my oil filter wrench, and a good long neck funnel. Glad he had everything I needed that I didn’t have.

A piece of 3/4" hardwood that has had the edges run through a shaper/router for a nice contoured finished edge, attached to the wall where the studs are located, then attach the hangar to the now decorative piece of wood that is mounted on the wall. Home Depot often has pieces like this that are used as mounting plates for lighting fixtures, etc, where old holes are being covered or you want to reinforce a wall surface by just gluing the stronger piece of wood to the thin wall.

I didn't do anything to it today but will be doing something soon. I have to go to the local CW to spend the gift cards that I got for Fathers Day first.

Ran a designated coax satellite cable from the outer connection port to the bunkhouse. I was told, when I bought the TT, it was already wired. Cable, yes. SAT, no.

I added some Morryde Step Above steps to our main entry door, MUCH better than the diving board like steps that come factory

Be warned, when you do this, prepare for a small amount of "stuff" to spray out! So, do not leave your mouth open, while doing it (as in this picture)! Yuck!! However, once you get the hole drilled and the lubrication in it, they work very well!
