OUTLAW Mods and Easy Fixes

[Scarab0088]

I did not do this - It was featured in an classified advertisement that has long ago been pulled off the web, but it looks pretty nice...credit to who ever that owner was





From the fabric and floor plan, it was probably a '07 or '08 3611.

I went through my dinette when I modified the ends to open and found that except for the seat belt bracket holes in the slide floor, this mod would leave little sign that a dinette was ever in that space.

Safe travels

While working on the Beast the other day I found the tubing to the passenger side windshield wiper fluid had split. I'm visiting a new town so asked a friend where I could go to buy replacement tubing. He looked at it, had an epiphany, and grabbed some tubing he had used to set up a drip line watering system for his garden. Same diameter as the broken one...5 minutes later the windshield wipe fluid system was working like a charm!

Maybe I've been doing something wrong all this time, or maybe my drivers seat is installed too far forward, but we cannot, as of yet, fully rotate our drivers seat so it faces directly rearward - it hits the steering wheel, with the back facing the passenger seat. We just deal with it... ???

I gotta do a YouTube video about this. It's not just an Outlaw thing:
This is what I do...
1. With the seat slider rearward enough, rotate the seat until it is facing the passenger seat.
2. Put the steering wheel tilt in the highest or lowest position to provide the most clearance space.
3. With seat facing the passenger side, release the recliner lever and move the seat back/back rest as far foward as it will go, and...
4. Slide the seat base slider as far forward on it's tracks as it will go.
5. If the arm rest is in the way, drop it as far as it will go down.
6. Now, you should be able to turn the seat to face the rear.

With the seat back returned to a normal seating position, the seat will still not rotate like the passenger seat does.

Returning the seat to forward facing is these steps in reverse.

Best luck

Many Outlaws did not have any means to keep in-place anything loaded on-top of the Wardrobe.

Mike B. corrected this with a DIY but factory quality railing - Looks Awesome!



Good job, Mike!

I did the same thing to my wardrobe top, using 2 cheap metal towel bars for the enclosure, one long and one short one. Then I purchased 2 laundry baskets from Lowes that are metal frameworks covered with a beige colored cloth, so the decor matches nicely. They both fit up there perfectly, use them for dirty clothes and extra towels or clothes. Utilizes a previously unused space. The only drawback is access is somewhat difficult from the stairs, so we only put things in there we don't often need.

I finally finished the 360 Siphon Vent install. What should have been a 30 minute job took two days to complete (see my other post here if you want to know what happened). Now I am looking forward to the next time I roll down the road with half full holding tanks and will no longer catch the occasional whiff of unpleasant odors thanks with this upgrade.

Our latest update was to convert all of the pancake dome lights to LED bulbs. Both my wife and I wanted to maintain the warm look of tungsten lighting so it took some looking to find LED bulbs in warm white and decent quality. We used a mix of 200 and 300 lumen lighting depending on which fixture. The two lights on ceiling close to the kitchen, one side of the double light on the ceiling between the couch and the dinette, one side of the fixture over the shower and one side of the fixture in the kitchen over the sink got these:
The Brightest Ba15s LED Light Bulb Replacement - Warm White Color - 2nd Generation with 66 LED's - Single Contact Base - 10-30V DC : Amazon.com : Automotive

For all the rest of the fixtures and the other side of the ones we put a brighter one in we got these:
Brightech LED BA15s - Warm White Color- Bayonet Base 36LEDs SMD Bulb - 2nd Generation with 36 LEDs - Replacement for #1156 1141 1073 1093 1129 93 - : Amazon.com : Automotive

The quality and warmth of light is almost exactly like the tungsten 1141 bulbs we removed.

As far as electrical savings we went from 18.5 watts per 1141 bulb to either 1.8 or 5 watts depending if it was the 36 or 66 LED bulb.

You never did share the source for this vent cap. I put one on my Outlaw but can't locate one for my Challenger. I thought they were discontinued?

Thanks Buddy! These things are the best. They are constantly drawing gasses out of the tank and unlike those wind vane venturi's, there are no moving parts to seize!

I need a fix for the bathroom lighting! it is horrible to see in the mirror for make up, hair, etc. Has anyone changed the lighting so the mirror is not in a shadow? While we are in the bathroom, any good ideas for more hangers for towels? has anyone added a rail to the top of the cabinets in the bathroom for added storage for a small basket or towels? Any ideas appreciated!

Don't you have the vanity lights above the mirror? Those work well for me when shaving, etc.

I like the idea of some rails on top of the of the bathroom cabinets. I would bet some nicely finished strips of 1" wood that are stained the right color would work up there for very little $$.

Yes we have the little light strip above the mirror, but they don't light the mirror.
