This slide tray works great and slides out from both sides. Seems pretty sturdy, I strap my 6HP outboard Merc in there and it works well. Here are a few pics of the install...

No you're not. However if the electrical system on the trailer has a slight imbalance between the neutral and hot leg (120 VAC) the GFI will trip at 3-5 ma. That's not much. Moisture could do that... but I still want to check.

I aired up the tires. I would like to dewinterize but we have a few more weeks of frozen nights. I helped my brother in law take off his cover, reinstall his batteries, top off his tires and clean up a but.

Attempted to replace my (gas) control valve on the water heater... fitting(s) broke off in the old valve. What should have been a 1 hr job now will take days. Oh well... after all it's 14 years old... stuff happens.

Just finished the projects started on the weekend. Removed the corner cabinet in the bathroom and replaced with a shelf that is not in the way for this tall guy when using the head. Used one of the doors to make access under the back of the sink. Now we have a spot to shove the dog beds in the morning! To add more usable space in my "wardrobe" I added a shelf. Also replaced the rusting rivets on the solid steps with stainless ones. Killed a rivet gun with them and got the replacement yesterday and finished the job.
