I've got the x chocks and have no problems with them fitting. They make a huge difference. I believe ependydad has the RotoChocks and can probably speak to them with his QBOK.

Alright, picked the camper back up Thursday and then it rained most of the day yesterday. Looks like they got most of my warranty stuff taken care of. Think they could have tightened the main slide topper a bit more though and they used one tank of propane. Glad i took the second bottle out.
.....anyway, slow start but I'm getting everything out for "mod day". Heres my pile of materials so now i just have to start building stuff!!

Made some last summer. Used 2"square with one side cut open and had some salvaged tie down brackets out of some truck bed, i think a tacoma or tundra. I didnt make lower brackets but i just un pin and throw on my bumper after the weekend, since we're seasonal/pernanent.

I guess i dont have a pic of it all setup though and tied down

Looks good MillerTime! Went and checked on mine today. Hopefully will move it out sometime in the next week or so. Weather has definitely made a change for the better around here. Might even be able to take the snow blade off the tractor

Thanks QcCowboy!!

Well, started on the tv mount for the basement. The grill mount was easy compared to this. I took some of the basement apart to find the reinforcements or "studs" and had to measure like crazy to figure it out. I got the mount bracket for the tv (that was a pain) all milled and made, and got the basement mount made. It will connect to the upright braces as well as the floor and the upper floor joists. I figure it needed as much strength as posible, with a, roughly 46" swing arm design for the 32" tv we had from our puma.
- i got the first swing arm attached, and cut out the others. I guess I'll try to finish it tomorrow. The garage is a mess!

What's the two long "drawers" in the pic? Maybe you mentioned previously in this thread, but like OC, I'm lazy so thought I'd just ask.

They are 72" long heavy plastic drawers. My buddy cleaned up a widows place and her husband had designed and had these built. For what i don't know. My buddy had a bunch stacked up in his shop so i got a couple from him. They are about 1/4" think on the outside and the drawer is about 1/8" thick. I had one in my basement last year with my fishing poles and little tackle trays in it. So im gonna move them and the old pvc post slinky holder off my puma, underneath. I think I'll use the second one for plumbing and electrical misc. stuff and cords, maybe the flag pole too.

I didn't read the whole thread but I just ordered this digital thermostat that you can program how many cycles per hour it will do. I think that's just awesome.

Got my pvc post off my puma mounted. Also made the brackets and got my storage boxes mounted. One slides curb side for my fishing poles, the other side slides out drivers side for water and set up equipment

Oh and here's my mod helper, he's learning how to put screws in and is trying to run off with some of my snap on & craftsman tools.

Finally got the washer/dryer put in today. Not an easy task. Definitely a two person (with plenty of strength) job. Had to remove doors from closet, and remove some of the trim just to get it in. Very tight fit through bedroom and into resting spot.

Finally got my rail mate put on for the rear door. Works great and I now finally have a rail for the kids to grab on to. Will probably use that door a little more now. Took a little work and I had to remove some of the trim to drill the holes through the step frame, but got it all back together again.
