Steve Reed and his crew got everything else fixed when we were there last year, very happy with them...just continue to struggle with battery system( and have read and tried everything)! So any advice you have for our stop....or recommend we have Thor look at while we are there...please forward!

The last I checked Thor does not have a solution for the vent fan being on all the time. I first solved my problem by disconnecting it and later installed my own thermostat switch. This is the one Master Flow 1540 CFM Power Gable Mount Vent in Mill-PG2 - The Home Depot. The thermally controlled switch is sold separately from the fan and costs about $30. It works great.

I can't tell you how many we have played with trying to get the right warm color and brightness for each specific location. Good thing is that the ones we didn't like for all of the accessory lights we just used in the bays.

Billy, would you be willing to post the M4 part number for the large and small recessed lights?

thanks

Small 10w recessed lights
Elite Series Retrofit LED to replace Small 10w G4 / T3 Halogen

Large 20w recessed lights(says 10w on link but will take you to 20w) ??
Elite Series Retrofit LED to replace Small 10w G4 / T3 Halogen

these are for the warm white. I started with cool white which we did not like at all and went to the other extreme with warm which has a slight yellow glow. they also have natural white which is between the two. I think these are just as bright as the original lights but draw almost no amperage and have zero heat to them. I had almost every light on today and turned off and amps only fluctuated by 1 amp.

Big thanks Billy!

Bought a Garmin and it sucks.

I wanted to be able to store more in the cargo area and viewed some ideas on this and other RV sites. Most of the mods were brackets or clamps screwed into the door. I was concerned about damaging the doors, so I bought some 2' X 4' grid panels off Craigslist and cut them down to the size. I'll secure them with insulated pipe clamps. Then I can use bungee cords to store items on the door.

I always disliked the wasted space under the dinette seats and the sleeper couch. I ordered custom build drawers and undermount slides from quikdrawers.com and installed them to add extra storage in our coach. The drawer under the sofa is 50" wide and 30" deep. And the dinette drawers are 30" deep and 18" wide, leaving enough space for the subwoofer and receptacle under the left seat.
I also turned the fake drawer panel in the kitchen into a real 14"x12" drawer that will hold some small utensils as well. I found a matching drawer handle on Amazon.

What a fantastic idea Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic ideas, mcfly!! I was trying to think of something to do with that wasted space under the dinette and couch too.

Can you provide the quikdrawers.com and Amazon part numbers please?

mcfly · 02-15-2015, 06:48 AM

The drawer pull:(slightly shinier than the original)

Dinette Drawer dimensions:
18"x30"x6" with Blum undermount slide

Sofa Drawer dimensions

Kitchen Drawer dimensions

Two plywood storage boxes were bolted to the sides of the DEF tank. This will store the stinky stuff away from the storage bays.

Looking for a little help here.

Bought a 15' coil hose to do this on our Legacy and we have the same 1/2 male connection on our faucet.

I bought some brass fittings today to make the connection at the faucet and apparently didn't get the right ones, connection is oozing.

Can someone post the exact 1/2 female fitting I need at faucet? My hose I'm using has a 3/4 female connection.

My hose to sprayer connection is fine.

Thanks for the help!

I like it! I think it would work much better than shelves there. Did you have to assemble boxes in place or they fit in assembled?

The forward box was assembled in place. I think it could have been fitted fully assembled if I wanted to raise the RV more with the jacks. The aft box is easily inserted fully assembled.

I secured the plywood sheets against the DEF tank using 3 bolts inserted in some threaded holes already in the DEF tank bracket - this provides a very strong support.
