It took me a while to understand what you did with the Y connector and why you did. I get it now but wonder about how close to the ground it hangs while driving.

It’s about a foot off the ground (about the same height as rear power jacks).

Sounds great. It just looked a little low to me. Great ingenuity on your part.

Sunday, I winterized her and she is good for another long winters nap. I will still use it, but without using any water. We go out to eat for dinner and sandwiches for lunch, the shower house restrooms are open all year.

Got tired of getting whacked by the storage door all the time so I installed a magnetic door stop. Will paint it black at some point. Works great.

Winterized it since our season is over and the temps are hitting the 30's at night.

Obnoxious LED ceiling puck lights

Dimmed 4” LED puck lights by applying a coat of spray paint on the inside of each lens. Great results.

Pulled it out from under its cover, turned on the reefer and getting it ready for a Thu to Mon trip this weekend to Palmetto Island State Park.

I also fired up my PowerHorse gen and tried out the Neutral Bonding plug I made. It was an old unused male plug that I bonded the neutral and ground in.

Fired it up and connected the camper with the EMS on. It worked perfectly!


In addition I found some quick connects for my water hose I had forgotten I had. I hooked them up to my water supply to make it easier to store and connect at the campgrounds.

I'd be interested to see what you did there.

I tried using LA's Totally Awesome cleaner, then Dawn, but ended up with Mr. Clean liquid.
I used Laundry Detergent, Tide with Bleach. Worked out pretty nicely.

I used one of those for our bathroom door, it seemed with the slightest out of level it would not remain open, the DW likes it warm in there, in the cooler weather, if you know what i mean

I dropped my 2017 Sanibel at the paint shop to get the cap repainted. Clearcoat started peeling really bad this summer. At least it’s covered under the five year warranty.

Love that idea! I fight with mine all the time and always wonder why there is no magnetic hold for it! Thank you!

2014 Wildcat Maxx 282RK . Rather new to us.
Pulled mattress off the bed, opened it up and inspected the slide workings.
One side of the rails bolted to the deck had 4 nuts that were loose (one finger loose!)
Tightened all. Found the other side rail was only equipped with 2 nuts/bolts So much for quality control! Tightened those also.
Tighten one of the slide stops.
Lubed the in/out mechanism.
