Swapped from Bi-Xenon to LED headlight bulbs and added an auxiliary Headlamp Assy to the front generator hood. A relay to activate the aux lights.

Pretty sure I got this idea here on iRV2 . For me an neasy way to drain my hwt , and being able to control the flow. I can easily remove the stainless line to flush the tank before storage. No more stripped plastic plugs!

Yes . I have a wire to keep in place . The hose removes from the nipple, so I can get my plastic nozzle in the tank to flush it out ,once a year.

Slick way to drain the HWT. Do you have an anode somewhere else? Or are you just going without.

My HWT doesn’t have an anode. Was just a plastic plug.

Water system mod

Wanted a method to still use the activation switches for the water in the coach but needed it to turn the pump off or hose off when hooked up. Added the “ on-off-on” switch for the source selection, connector for solenoid valve and pressure regulator with quick disconnect couplers. Now I can control at the wet bay the source and destination as well as use coach switches to turn water off when away.

TV mod

Removed both front and rear flat screen TVs. Front , I have lined the unfinished interior with a matching vinyl material, made a turn table to get access to wiring so I didn’t need to totally remove electronics, installed a Denon receiver, blue ray and Fire Stick. Samsung TV is mounted in new swing up platform with IR transfer system. Rear, used some scrap aluminum to mig weld custom swing out bracket, installed our computer behind and wire to TV as the monitor.

Removed one of my fiberglass kitchen sinks and installed a stainless steel one. New sink has square corners and is 9 inches deep. Easy to clean, and being 9 inches deep no splashing on my living room carpet. I'm thrilled

I am interested in what you did here. What all have you done? Does it have water in the flex hose all the time when there is water in heater?
