What did you do to your camper today?

I used square tubing with holes in it. Cut slot on each end to self tapping bolt to frame the screwed post to tubing. Look at the far end and you will see the tubbing.

Very very nice!

That looks very nice, what was on the wall before and how did you remove it without tearing the wall up? Or did you just go over it. I would like to change mine but don't want to ruin that paper thin wall. Any incite from your project would be welcomed....

Correction: It's not a paper thin wall. It is a paper wall.

Use the others behind the bath sink.

Looks excellent BTW
I did ours after we got it, but it is too patterned or not random enough. I will live with it as it is better than before.

Finally solved the low-hanging-toy-hauler-tag issue. I broke the factory mounted plate hanger below the left rear tail light on the rear of my 2018 Grey Wolf on my last outing as I pulled into the dump station driveway.

Bought Plate Saver and figured out how to mount it on the rear ramp/door using existing door holes. Mod required three 5/16th x 3 inch stainless steel bolts and some stainless steel washers to make the mount nice and flush. I did have to make the original holes on the Plate Saver a bit larger. I tapped the existing power by drilling one small hole in the bumper behind the hinge where the Plate Saver is mounted. Had to snake about a foot and a half of wire through that hole and then through existing large hole on the back side of the bumper where wiring runs near the corner of the frame. Next, I used a self tapping screw for the ground right next to the drilled hole. Tested power to bulb and tightened it all up. Put power wires in protective plastic flexible casing. Done.

Time for a beer. Headed to camp on the ocean in Maine next week.

Happy Trails,

I took it out and put it in the back of the truck bed. But the best thing is my kids asked dad what was it, I said we almost lost the stinky slinky. They didn't stop laughing the rest of the ride, also made jokes all weekend. I really appreciate the people taking the time off to tell me something was wrong, a ton of people just flew on by

In the meantime, you might try something like this. A friend suggested doing this to my bumper caps when we first started out. He had lost several in the past. Just drill thru bumper and flange of bumper cap and insert cotter pin.

I dropped a 10' x 10' deck in front of mine. I was already planning on building a 10' X 18' deck (in 3 sections) from scratch but then this offer came up. It needs some fixing up but it's a good start at least.

Sadly, I forgot to take pictures. Maybe next week.

This was actually a couple of days ago, but I had to refill the FW tank on mine as we were without water hookups. I had the options of either breaking camp and pulling out, or a little ingenuity:

Not today but over the past couple days:

Got the GPL foldable single sided aluminum ladder to be able to clear/sweep the slide top and do whatever else from a ladder I might need while camping. Bought online and received in just a couple of days. It folds to 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and fits perfectly inside the rear bumper, although a little snug where the strap is around it. Added a piece of foam pool noodle in the end to keep it from sliding side to side. Will have to "fix" and secure the end caps to keep them from coming off.


Installed the Jack-It bicycle rack on the tongue. Seems to be pretty sturdy although pretty sure will have to remove the angled piece and wings to get the propane tank cover off.

I did the same when my waterbay had all of the pieces required. Now that my water fill is at the rear of the camper, separate from the rest, I wasn’t sure how to do it. This makes sense!

It’s just a bit slow this way. Works, though!

As for me- on Saturday, I hung a pair of fold-up cup holders on either side of the couch, attached Trones at the foot of the bed (they’ve been sitting there for a while), and hung a Camco grab bar for the screen door. I tried hanging a toilet paper holder under the 1/2 bath, on the back of the cabinet door, but it runs into the sink’s plumbing.

I’m using the antifreeze inlet in winterize mode to suck in the water via the water pump. This is being pumped out the outside shower through my filter and then into the fresh water fill.

[AbdRahim]

fascinating. thanks. I would have never thought of that.

I just pour from the jug into tank.. [emoji39]

The typical wallpaper was there before. I just went right over top of it. Here is a before picture.

Yeah wife already mentioned the bathroom. I’ll try and put that off for a while.

Thanks.

Finished washing and waxing my Forester Class C. Whew that’s allot of work. Pretty much used a whole bottle of wax. Bummer discovered another crack in the windshield.

That doesn't work if you don't have a gravity tank fill. If you have a city water connection with a valve that feeds your FW tank (fairly common on 5vers and larger TT's), you can't "pour" water past the city water connection's check valve.
