In the last few days, we re-sanitized the water system to get rid of a gosh-awful smell that made you wretch when using the hot water at a couple of faucets (but not all).
And, I hung a paper towel holder from the inside of the outdoor kitchen door above the sink.

Started prepping the TT for the trip to Lake George, Colorado.
Replaced the TV in the bedroom. Replaced the water filter, and fixed the water filter holder where the screws stripped out from the aluminum bar it was screwed into (used rivets so it won't come off again when I have to change it!).
A bunch of things to do but it's going to be worth it on the trip.

We left the camper in Wisconsin 2 weeks ago and came back to the CO2 beeping so I finally added my battery cut off switch.

Anode rod, still has life left:
Proved my theory that I can fill my fresh water tank using my antifreeze bypass/pump and the outdoor shower hose.

Made a couple PVC projects for the wife. A foot wash station and a towel/swimsuit drying rack the wife saw on Pinterest. Also installed a ubiquity wifi booster and my own router so I can run cameras at my year round spot.

First time to need air conditioner. Main unit not cooling properly. Two week wait at dealer to check it. Thanks to FRF and Utube discussions and videos, I concluded the problem was shoddy installation. Sure enough two fist sized holes into "attic" area for wiring. Sealed with aluminum tape. Job done, cold air blowing. Thanks to all who post.

To make it really work good, pull outside cover and insulate the cover on the inside

Removed 2 of the valances on the kids bunks. Having them there made the screens hard to get off. Being an emergency exit, the kids need to be able to easily remove them.

This "Teeter Totter" type I used on a 21" Manual Awning,in order to remove the "Bow" from the center of the Tube I had to "HELP" when retracting the Awning! On the Longer Power awning I wonder if the Motors have enough "Power" to overcome this Hurdle?  Youroo!!

Good question. It should have the torque to wind itself in position but I don't know since I'm hanging on to my ol' trusty manual awning.

I just put new Carefree fabric on and I believe it is 19'. It had enough bow it was noticeable. We travel the east coast to Florida and as far west so far as Tennessee. The roads are bad and it seamed to be taking its toll on that tube because I never noticed bowing it until recent. I didn't actually measure the deflection but my camping buddy said his wife could see it bounce when he was following me.

Just installed a BAL hide a spare on my 26rr. Now it's out of the way. Besides having to buy self tapping screws it's a great product easy to install

Finally got some LED lights that I am happy with!
The one one the left is LED and the one on the right is incandescent.
Installed lights in the bedroom clothes closets.
Actually completed this a while back but never posted it. I replaced the white two bulb wart light on the ceiling and removed the white wart reading lamps that were in the wrong place and installed these swivel lights in the right place for reading in bed.

Where did you get your bulbs from? I'm always hesitant about LED's because of them being white instead of yellow.
