Made a few mods

CTD2005 · Jun 23, 2012

In the last 30 days since we got our Sundance I have added a few things.
1-replaced lid for bathroom roof vent
2-added two MaxxAir2 vent covers
3-added a Cyclone sewer vent
4-added two Vornado fans to help circulate the air inside
5-added a 5" pvc fence post for sewer hose storage (the best mod i've made so far)

Nice job on the sewer hose. I have a similar thing also. How do you hold the cap on and what are you using to pull the rain gutter out.

I have a small bungee cord holding the removable cap on.The handle is a 3/4" piece of pvc conduit with a coupling on each end, I then used a 3/4" plumbing plug in each coupling and screwed a tek screw through the gutter into the plugs on each end. It is parts I already had available that just worked out.

How did you attach it to the underside of your rig? Is the underside of your rig exposed, or closedin (as mine is). I'm just not sure what to screw or attach into! Otherwise I plan to do this exact mod. Thanks.

ILH, mine is also enclosed but the outside of the I beam frame is accessible on each side of the rig. I drilled through it and attached 1/4" all thread through it to an angle bracket beneath the pipe. There may be a better way to attach it, this just happens to be materials I already had.
Here is a picture that shows my mount to the frame.

If you would like I can email you my pics that are original size if you think it would help.

TXBobcat, here is a closeup of the handle I put together on the gutter.

That would be great - thanks!

I deperately want to do this mod - but I can't get the 5" fence post material locally (I'm in Southern Ontario). Lowes and Home Depot in Canada don't seem to carrry it. I'm heading to the US on vacation in July and I'll pick up the materials then (I may even do the mod while away). I just want to make sure I know what to get, what I need before I leave, etc.

Thanks.

Nice and simple.......just the way I like it. I might have to add this to my "to do list".

PVC pipe, couple of threaded ends and caps. 2 stainless clamps from McMaster Carr and you are good to go.

The sewer post mod has made its way to our list. Looking forward to having a place to store the sewer fittings. Nice work!

Thanks for your great help. We got home from our cross-country trip on the weekend - and this was the first opportunity I had to slip away to the RV and take some pictures. These are some post-mod pics. I changed up the handles - slightly simpler design although seems to work well.

One thing I still have to do is add some vent holes. I put some in initially for drainage - but you can't have too many....

Again, thanks.
