Does that circled in Red stay attached I would assume? If so that doesn't get squashed?
In the second photo circled in Blue about that location I have a plug underneath the slide there. Do you have that plug, as well? If so why did you decided to bring the plug inside rather just over the top of the hydraulic slides and plug it there? Just wondering ? Thxs
OK... I'll try to explain... in the first pic, the included dimmer is what you circled with blue; and yes it is attached with velcro; it has a plug on each end, one to go to the power supply and one to go to the LED strip. The LED strip has a connector on it, and what you circled in red is where that is connected to the dimmer; the LED strip connector does stay attached and I cable tied it onto a convenient hole that was nearby and then caulked it in place with some white caulk (I would have preferred black, but I used what I had on hand); when the slide is closed, it goes in to a location that has plenty of clearance, so doesn't get squashed.
I wasn't aware of a plug where you show in the second pic on my 34PA; if there is a plug there I probably would have used it instead of the plug inside of the storage bin up by the entry door. I don't have my motorhome with me right now, so can't verify. Maybe you could send a pic of the plug you have.
Regards!

Air Vent deflector, 3D printed Open Road 34PA

When sitting in the passenger chair recliner of our 34PA, the air conditioner was blowing directly on my legs causing a chill. I wanted the AC on, but not blowing directly on me. So, I designed a deflector and 3D printed it. The vent can be rotated along with the deflector to send air in any desired direction.

DW was complaining about the AC blowing on her while she's at the bath sink so I added one of these. Seems to work pretty good so far.

Screen Door Access Panel Handles, 3D printed

Just needed easier grip on screen door access panel, so I designed and printed handles for both inside and outside. Also had difficulty reaching the screen door pull handle, so drilled a hole in it and attached a pull lanyard. Open Road 34PA.

I have a swing and tilt model on my outside TV. I'll see if I can find some information on it later.

Sorry, I can't find any marks on mine to figure out who made this one.

Here is a couple pics. Maybe it will help.

Shower glass upgrade

I need to replace the neo angle shower enclosure on my Tiffin MH. Our original unit is glass in a fill metal frame that the hinge system is non repairable. I have not had any luck finding a new enclosure that is the same for a exact replacement. I purchased a residential semi frameless enclosure that will fit but i have a few concerns. The glass is much heavier than what we have with the full frame unit. I’m less concerned about the weight than I am the heavy glass shattering. I have experienced how tempered glass can have weak points causing it to break easy. I am worried if we hit a bump or it gets a twist from RV movement that it will break easier than a full frame unit. Has anyone used a residential semi frameless glass shower door or know where I can find a new unit like what was originally installed.

I agree that you don't want a 'regular' shower enclosure made using GLASS. You MIGHT be able to use one like that and get a plastic wall for it. Or, you might try calling Tiffin/ Thor? is it? to maybe find out where the original was made.



It's a real shame that some of the stuff inside doesn't last as long as the outsides some times ...

What year is your 34PA
Mine is a 2021 and the air intakes look like yours but they are std white plastic not the solid surface like yours, the vent that blows has adjustable louvers and it rotates.


Great job on the 3D printing

Our 34PA is a 2021. Odd that they would be different. Ours don't have any adjustable louvers and are the solid surface as you observed and they do rotate without directing air except for straight down.

Very Odd,
I have MSG quite a few owners of new 2021 34PA's and have found quite a few differences.
