Can you share more info on the fridge project when done? Photos, source for the unit, make/model of fridge, etc.

Hummm. Not sure what happened to the photos I attached to my post. Let's try again.

Here's my post regarding the refrigerator install.
http://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/out-...-386374-5.html

Its a Fisher and Paykel RF170ADX4N. Picked it up a Lowes hardware in their scratch and dent section for $850. Just had a broken wheel. It was a special order return. I removed the remaining wheels to bolt it in place anyway. It was a lucky find.

Oh so much done with updating/remodeling. Most of the heavy lifting is behind us so most recently:
1. Adjusted headlights, what a difference, they were pointed at the ground about 5 feet out.
2. Repair short in fog lamps, replace bulbs.
3. Install "in-house" vacuum, can in bay and connection under cabinets in kitchen. (Happy wife, happy life).
4. Replace old console tv's for flat screens with sound bars. Retro trim cabinets to fit new systems (used trim removed from removal of dinnett but that's part of the larger remodel.
5. Wash, compound rub (oxidation gone), polish compound, Maquires (sp?) Wax on both the MH and hold.
6. Install slinky stinky storage tube. So nice!
7. Just ordered quick disconnects for potable water hose.
8. Replaced all marker lights with LED.

Forgetting something I'm sure but that took up the past month. Over the winter did a total gut and replace of the interior; floors (no more stinky carpet) up. And of course gave my local RV mechanic some business to make sure the ol' '02 is as sound as it can be.

Much more was done, much more to be done but those are stories for another day.

Oh, forgot one! Swapped out old dim 5x7 headlights with LED versions. WOW, what a difference! The light is a little uneven but so much better than the factory headlights it doesn't matter. Because these LED headlight draw less amps and operate just fine on lower voltage, there's no need to upgrade the factory wiring.

These are the one's I used:

Yes, incase you are wondering, the microwave feet are set in recessed holes in the shelf and it has a nylon strap over the top secured to the shelf. The shelf itself, is screwed in place. Didn't want to get beaned in the back of the head by a microwave when stopping fast.

Which specific microwave model is that?

Last weekend camping I replaced most of the basement storage door holders as well as resealing the gas cap surround with butyl tape. [ATTACH]245660

Today I scraped the old sealant off the front cap, the front fan and the antenna. Getting ready to reseal the whole roof[ATTACH]245662

Also pulled down the shroud forthe bedroom exhaust fan to see if it was prewired for an a/c unit. It is!!!! Might need to upgrade to 50 amp now[ATTACH]245664

I think I really like it, normally nothing charges the chassis battery, I had to keep a trickle charger on it. After installing the unit today, it only took a few hours to bring all the batteries up to the same charge just using my solar panels. No more extra chargers to hook up and I don't even have to think about it.

Oh and somebody had 1 too many cocktails and ordered 20 of the 1156 leds instead of the 1141s. But they work and the wife actually likes the color so I guess I'll keep them

My wife thinks this thing is a new addition for glamping[emoji848][ATTACH]

Replaced tail pipe from muffler back. Got drug off while going thru a pothole filled lot.
Water heater gas valves replaced. They decided it was time to quit.
New air filter. Wow, should have done that sooner - a noticeable improvement.
New hoses for front HWH jacks. 4-year old leak fixed.
New switches in bedroom headboard lights. $5 fix rather than replace - already have led bulbs in them.
All 11 ceiling lights converted from Thinlite fluorescent to LED. Used $8 LED/fixtures to convert and reuse the Thinlite fixtures.
