Had Trevor Nichols in Red Bay install adjustable lumbar supports in both captains chairs in the Phaeton.

Not exactly bought, but modified.

Had the circuit breaker panel rewired to run the 3 way fridge and the microwave so they could run off of the 2500 watt inverter. The idea was to be able to run the fridge off of AC while traveling if there was a problem with propane (which we had on our last trip) and allow us to run the microwave without running the generator when dry camping.

I have my microwave on my inverter too. We use it so often.

Guess I could do the fridge with an extension chord if I needed. Haven't had any problems though.

I did this because we ran into a serious problem on our last long trip. The fridge refused to run on propane and so our only choices were AC and DC.

AC worked fine when we were at a campground with shore power, but we had to use DC when driving and it just was not enough power to keep the fridge cool, especially in the summer heat in Texas and New Mexico, and we had fridge temperatures into the mid to high 50s. Of course the food spoiled.

We had the fridge fixed but I thought it would be a good idea to be able to run it off of the inverter when driving, just in case, and that was the reason for the change. The microwave was on the same circuit as the fridge AC so it was a twofer.

Logitech x52 Flight stick and throttle.

While my wife watches DWTS or Jeopardy, I shoot down Migs, or alien spacecraft.

Soooo much better than a keyboard and mouse!

Got rid of the very uncomfortable hide-a-bed and put in this RecPro loveseat. I now have a comfortable place to sit down and recline.

mrboyer · 09-20-2022, 04:38 PM

That looks great. Would it be a Fleetwood motor home? So similar to our 2006 Expedition. We removed the hide a bed, and put in love seat and small end table with drawers. [ATTACH]376942[ATTACH]376943

We didn't like the cornices, I made rustic maple ones to replace them.

disabled the oem side cameras, will use my mirrors, and installed a RV (Rear View Safety) camera system with two cameras and monitor. one for rv and one for enclosed trailer. rearviewsafety dot com so far so good

Ordered one of these GPS dongles for my laptop https://amzn.to/3UpWqjd to help Google Maps figure out where I really am when there isn't local WiFi where we are camped. Turns out Google Maps just seems to randomly pick a location when it has no reference to your location via local WiFi signals in your area.

If you like dog fight and space fighters. Check out Desent Freespace the Great War. It's old game but I haven't found It's equal in spacecraft dog fight ,everything went RPG or shooter. It's gone open source long ago fans wrote new campaigns ect. I haven't run on Window 10 or 11 though or used full download on hard drive was CD. A program to make multiple key commands from one key ,like on the joystick helps.

Unfortunately, it's anti-freeze...

We are off to Hilton Head SC for a 5-week visit with our 2-year-old twin granddaughters & family! Ya, we could take the rig but we want to fly to have the extra time with them.

By the time we get back, camping season will be about over here in the North East and I will need to wash & wax it, do a roof inspection and winterize it...

Hope you all have had a great camping season!

Regards,
Wild Bill

Rt. furnace gas valve (leaking internally), digital tire pressure gauge (accurate to 1 psi +/-) and both rear taillights (don't want to talk about it).
