ID:	126160 here is the picture of the stools. I haven't found any yet.
I did purchase the 6 jacks that I intend to install in the spring to help with bounce. I still need to buy additional accessories but the jacks are the main pieces.

Nice to see we finally have a home. 😎 Meaning Vengeance owners.

Did you ever find any barstools?

I did come across some that might be the right height without me having to cut the legs. Wasn't a priority until I can get into the camper April time frame so I am just waiting.

I did buy the jacks but still need a few things before I install them this spring.

It's looking like our first trip will be the second week of March. My son is playing in a baseball tournament with his High school team down in Chattanooga. There's no telling how the weather will be here cause it's hit or miss in March.

Supposed to be 60 this weekend but I do not even know of any campgrounds open this time of year near me.

Probably a good fit in a fifth wheel V but not for my25V TT. My next project will be the six foot collapsing step ladder stored in a five inch fence post under the trailer.

Ladder and Modifications to my 320A

I have looked at the ladder myself but so far have not bought one. I have been busy doing some mods to my toy hauler. We love the back porch on our trailer but have found it very time consuming and inconvenient opening and closing the back door when it is cold at night or not being able to use it when it is so hot outside. If fixed the problem by enclosing the back of the garage with storm doors. I engineered the doors so they look like french doors but the 9" panel in between the doors is removable so I can still bet my toys in and out. I put a doggie door in the removable panel so my Maltese can go in an out. We now have a back porch that is useable all the time and a garage, guest bedroom, dining room combo that is climate controlled for day and night use.

How do you remove? Do they swing open to get the toys in/out? I really like it.

I noticed the television in the garage was looking lopsided. The screws for the mounting plate do not seem to be hitting any studs. I might get a large piece of oak and stain it. Mount that on the wall attached to studs then mount TV to that.Click image for larger version

I also upgraded the scissor jacks and I will be installing two additional jacks to hopefully cut down on bounce.Click image for larger version

I added two extra scissor jacks directly forward of the front axle. Made a world of difference. I have to try really hard to make it bounce now.

Also put slideout jacks under the rear deck. The cable is going to always allow bouncing. Adjust the jack screw up until I can barely feel the cable start to loosen.

I was going to put the jacks behind, towards rear of camper, now with what you have said maybe I should try in front instead. I had been looking at other campers that have the auto level or hydraulic jacks to try and determine where I should my two new ones. If you had good luck in front...

Not sure how your trailer is set up. Mine came with scissor jacks on the front and rear. If you only have front jacks it would probably be best to start with adding rear jacks then go to extra center ones if needed. Your fifth wheel has a sturdier frame than my TT so some experimenting would be needed.

Mine has the electric landing gear in the very front and just two scissor jacks in the rear. I was going to have six scissor jacks total but apparently I can't read the info on a box. I ended up with only three jacks and not six so now I need to go buy one more jack. I'll try four jacks and see how the bounce is after that. If it's not better I'll buy two more and install later.

DVD player

I have a vengeance 320a. It has the Sony deck for the radio. The dealer stated it could play dvds but that does not work. There are three av jacks behind the tv. Does anyone know how to get the tv to play dvds and what the av jacks are hooked up to?

My dealer told me the same thing. No clue what the av jacks actually do or where they go.
I bought a Sony dvd player with miracast so I could cast movies from my Note 3 to the dvd player and watch them that way.
