You will like it.. I did the same thing from the same place last year..

So today I replaced 3 power receptacles. The new ones have usb outlets in them to plug in and charge phones, etc. I changed out the outlets on either side of the bed and beside one of the recliners.

I also changed out the toilet seat. In our house all toilets are "soft close", which means generally when we go to close the toilet seat in the 5th wheel we just let it fall and SLAM! Well no more.

Nice job on the outlets, that is on my list of mods. I just installed the Progressive Industries EMS.

My next project will be to replace the fan blades on all 3 ac's with the 3 blade fans. Currently, the rv is at the dealer having some very minor warranty work done and they are installing the Mor Ryde HD shackle kit and the front and rear "X" factor crossmembers. It came with the middle one from the factory. The 21st of this month will be 1 year of ownership. I will say that so far, we have been very happy with the Trilogy. IMO, it's a shame the Trilogy is no longer made. In fact, we're getting ready to put our house up for sale and live in the Trilogy for the next 2 years until we retire. Hope to be able to put away lots of money during these next 2 years.

Put a 10lb drawer latch on the cutting board drawer. Not sure if it was just missed, or what. But now it won't open up and run against the pantry door while we travel.

Also got my coat rack and shelving for shoes. Black obviously isn't the best choice for this location, but if it ends up annoying is it is easy to change. Also put small wireless lights on the underside to provide illumination should the dogs decide they need a bathroom break during the wee hours.

Lenny you inspired me so I went down to Home Depot and got a slow close toilet lid for our front bathroom as well since it is the most heavily used. What a world of difference! Now it feels like a real toilet and not the cheap plastic thing that was on there! :-)

Kwoodrg or Lenny, would either one of you mind posting the part # for the soft close seat. I would like to add one of those to our toilet. Thank you.

[-lenny-]

Sorry I don't have a part number. Just grabbed a round Delta slow close seat from my local hardware store.

[Thumper7]

OK Lenny, just knowing it's made by Delta will help. Thank you.

[kwoodrg]

Thumper, same here. I just bought a white slow close lid in white from Home Depot. I don't remember the brand. It says Beamis inside the lid so maybe that's the brand.

Added shelves to our bedroom cabinets on both sides of the TV. I installed the same kind of adjustable brackets found elsewhere in the camper and then cut an $8 peice of pine down and covered it with closely matching contact paper and i think it came out fairly well. Sure makes those cabinets more useful!

Installed my bathroom mirrors. There were a couple mistakes with the order, but we did not consider them to be too overwhelming so we accepted as is.



Full length mirror is perfect size wise. However we were expecting a bevelled edge.



Half mirror was again supposed to have a bevelled edge, but they also made it the same width as the other mirror. It should have been narrower, so as to fit nicely inside the design work on the door. However as mentioned these issues are not causing us any heartache so we will use them as is.

Today was new entry steps, courtesy of Hickory Springs. They manufacture the quad step for Lippert.

I had some cracking in the main structure, and quite a bit of movement. I felt it was only a matter of time until they failed and one of us took a nasty spill.

Old steps:






Swapped out, ready to return old step to HSM.

Hey John,

Those look great! Did you consider the aluminum 4 step as an option? And if so, why the steel?

Thanks,

[kwoodrg]

Lenny, my wife and I ended up getting a sunrise deck to make entering and exiting the camper a little less "wobbly." Best single investment yet. I am thankful for it every time I walk out and also when visitors come. I was always concerned built in steps might fail on someone and they'd get hurt. Mike is the guy that works there and he is super nice. Takes him about 3 weeks to custom build each one. It breaks down in about 15 mins and can store in your storage compartment or in the back of your truck up by the cab.

Like the landing and step set up, really nice. Can you give us a idea of cost?

Let’s try to resurrect this thread.

I installed a couple devices to help with cellular and wifi coverage.

Weboost Drive 4GX cell booster

Wifi Ranger EliteAC WIFI booster.

Next project golf club storage above generator (hopefully)

[mcnabbwr]

I’m curious how this will work. My generator box is pretty flimsy and the hydraulic pump is directly above. Please post pictures when done. Thanks

Yes the box is basically just tough enough to hold its shape, I have heard of people creasing the top travelling on rough roads. I will be building a shelf of some description.

Had to do a different project first though. Noticed water dripping out from the kitchen slide. Eventually traced it to the fridge. One of the solenoids on the water distribution valve was cracked! Easy fix, but the fridge is a real pain to get out by yourself!
