2) our bedroom door has a hook & latch to hold the door open when the wardrobe slide is in (and when we hang towels on the over-the-door rack because it falls closed). I replaced it with a magnetic door catch.
Attachment 165469
My exterior doors have struts that hold them open at 90-degrees and I find that annoying. I’m going to take them off and add these magnetic door catches to the exterior doors also.
3) added door locks to the master bedroom and both bathrooms.

And, I’m an idiot...

4) my wife made a template of a cabinet shelf and I cut the wood tonight but haven’t gotten it into place yet. Still need to add hinges and door catches also.
Attachment 165474
5) I added a quick connect “Y” for my grill since my camper is dumb and doesn’t have an exterior quick connect for LP appliances.
Attachment 165475
Attachment 165476
6) recaulked around the shower- it was still leaking a bit after the dealer’s work and there were some trim pieces with exposed edges that I didn’t want to soak up water spray.
Tomorrow is another projects/work day. I think I’m taking down the bottom half of my Happi-Jack beds! |
The bottom half of your happy jack bed?

The jack-knife sofa portion. We have other plans for that area below, so we’ll take out the sofa.
(Not my picture nor my camper, but same HappiJac bed.)

Discovered, while doing something else, that the 30 Ampere connector had half unplugged itself at the pedestal at home. Not happy, considering making some sort of a retention mechanism.

Thanks. Fortunately, I was able to chuckle pretty quickly. AND remembered to check orientation before doing the other 2 doors.

Today I reclaimed some deadspace and made it into a cabinet.

Making life easier...
Added hooks for inside of bedroom door,
support backing and hooks inside entry door,
pet screen door saver,
filter grill and filter for heating system and
sound reducing duct liner (sample pictured) inside
cabinet space to quiet heating system. Also not pictured,
created a low shelf over water pump in under sink cabinet
and covered with noise reducing material and resecured loose
duct to underside of trailer (no more warm silverware drawer).

Making life easier part two...
The access panel for my water heater bypass valve no longer requires removing four screws, just pull attached luggage handle and the Velcro pads release.
The cabinet doors under my dinette no longer swing open during travel - added wood strips to take the weight off the latches.
The dinette seats no longer creep out during travel - added wood strips to keep the support panels in place.

I did it! Took a month or two but I made it through all 1265 pages of this thread. Much to the dismay of the Mrs here is the list I have made for when hard water season is over:
Progressive EMS 50
Easystart for AC
AC inspection and optimization
Morryde Stair Box
Replace all compartment cam locks as well as door lock so they match the slam latches.
Fridge fans
Lippert toy Lok
Replace rear bumper after failed cargo basket trial
New queen sized mattress
Possible king pin bike rack
Possible slide toppers
I am sure there will be more...

Me too, and I might even throw a temper tantrum in the process, LOL.
I know it's still march, but come on now, 4 Nor'easters in like 3 weeks is getting ridiculous. I'm SOOO ready for warm weather.

Fastened refrigerator to cabinet face, hooked up propane, 120 VAC, and 12 VDC. Tested briefly on all three sources. This after replacing the perimeter seal - what a struggle.

Love that refrigerators that run on propane have no moving parts but everything else can be a challenge
