Then I sat in there with a glass of wine, two more weeks to real camping....hitch itch!!!lol,,,,
Here some pics...more to come

Over the weekend I finished my sewer line storage and built my pin box hitch for bike rack. Still have to build custom bike rack and grill swing arms.

Will do. I used golfmediks pin box mount design, but I've designed my own bike rack that will hold 4 bikes in the forward space of 2

5050 LED lights installed under camper (2516g) along frame rail tied into a rf audio controller. It's plugged into our stereo so it flashes as the music plays.......very high-tech.

Last weekend did the install on my Winfield Stabilizers and recieved my rotochoks, which seem to be REALLY Great.

I like the way you can tighten the Winfields after you pin them. The combination of the Winfields and the RotoChoks seem to work as well as the Steadyfast system I had in my last unit and MUCH easier to install.

I put LED's from Superbright throughout the camper. They worked pretty good, but the plug in part of the LED is a little bit thinner than the glass bulb, so I have had to spread the contact in the socket a little bit on some of them. For anyone interested, they are the WLED-WWHP15-TAC in Warm White and they are the same (or very close) to the original bulbs and a teensy bit dimmer.

Rerouted the water line from the pump to stop the annoying vibration coming from the pump. I may put a section of flexible line in there to isolate it further.

Sanitized the tank and plumbing with 100PPM chlorine.

Cleaned and converted my Superglide hitch from grease to Slip Plate graphite based lubricant (very messy but rewarding).

Replaced the battery door with a bigger one and put a couple 6 volt deep cycles in there with my 55 amp super, temperature compensated charger for VERY quick recharging when I am dry camping.

Installed the Intellijack system on my landing jacks.

Many other Misc items etc.



On the List...

Vortex II fan in the bedroom
A couple of 12 plugs in the living room
Foam in all the voids and holes with black foam.
Hardwired surge protector (Progressive)
Hardwired Inverter with auto switchover (maybe)
Many other Misc items etc.

camper1999, where did you got your fridge panels and were they hard to install? I've looked for some like that and all I can find is the flat ones. Already have that.

I wish it were actually true! lol The post covers are white and the doors are brushed aluminum. The way the light is reflecting off the lower skirt makes them look the same.

Did you build those sewer boxes? What part of Ohio are you in? You could probably sell them if you wanted I plan on doing something similar with a set of conduit boxes.

I did. They are 5" vinyl posts that I pop riveted a hinge and aluminum door to. The other side just has the panel riveted to some internal angles. There are several people on here that have done them. I'm just north of Dayton, in Tipp City.

Very nice job! I love the rack. Cool way to carry them! When you get a minute, can you show us how you did the rack. A pic without the bikes maybe? Nice!

Installed a fireplace. Had to run wiring and install a plug for dedicated electric circuit.
It was quite a task to remove the under panels to run the wiring from the breaker box to the rear of the camper.
The fireplace was simple, removed the two doors on the center cabinet, removed center shelf, place some support blocks on the backside of the framework for securing the fireplace and nailing the trim and bam!, you have a fireplace. I drilled 4 each 3" round vents into the two cubby holes on either side of the radio for ventilation. I did not want to take a chance on the heater overheating due to lack of airflow.

Will do. The next stop without bikes will be FL. I took parts from existing rack that I had and built the stand around them I have 4 bikes in less than 18" of forward space.
