Re: Backsplash
That backsplash looks great! What material is it and where did you get it?

That looks like the same tiles we liked on the DIY Decor Store. I have samples coming this week.

Using a razor knife, I peeled back the linoleum in front of our fridge. Then used a Dremel SawMax to cut out a 2' x 4' section of the 1/2" OSB flooring that was damaged from an old water leak (that has been fixed). The OSB had completely disintegrated in an area slightly smaller than what I cut out. The OSB had been doubled sided taped to the 2x4 flooring studs in spots and also spot glued to the foam blocks between the studs. Getting the rotted OSB off the foam without pulling out chunks of foam was the hardest part of the job. I used 1/2 plywood as a replacement because the local lumber yard was out of OSB in that size. The plywood lined up perfectly with the existing OSB. Screwed the plywood to the studs with SS marine screws and spot glued a couple of spots to the foam board because the plywood did want to arch up a little bit (the 1/2 inch stuff isn't very rigid). I spot glided the linoleum back down. This was all temporary as next big project is to replace entire flooring with Allure vinyl interlocking strips after Christmas. Sorry there are no pictures. Once I got started I was on a roll and totally forgot to snap a few shots.

Our OEM bathroom fan (Dexter/Ventline) started making a horrible screeching noise. Ordered a replacement motor off Amazon since it was less than $10 and Prime delivered in 2 days. Tony replaced the motor and all is well. We'll replace the whole assembly with something better down the road, but can't right now.

No grout. It has the glue on the back . We've bought other tiles from same company, but they are tin and Andy did use extra glue on them because he didn't think they would hold, with these stone ones, he said they stick like cement, lol.

Installed the Furrion Rear camera on the rig this weekend. We went ahead and upgraded the antenna as recommended by someone on this forum.
Will get to try it out next weekend.

We received our new GlowSteps today and I installed them no problem. They suggested we get the 25 1/2" wide model with spacers but based on others' experience of installing the 27 1/2" model (i.e. Lou Dick), we decided to go with the wider set. They were a perfect fit. As with Lou's installation experience, I had to coerce the brackets just a little and the step frame slid right up into place. The outside width of the Torklift 27 1/2" frame is exactly 27 3/8", so plan accordingly if you order a set.
It's nice that they suggest you remove the step assembly from the frame before installation. Working with the empty frame was much easier than trying to wrangle the entire assembly while tightening bolts. I did have to notch the J-wrap on one side to gain a little clearance for the moving portion of the steps since our step brackets were not perfectly centered in the opening. Our son was up for a visit and helped me with re-installing the step assembly into the mounted frame. Otherwise, I was able to perform the entire installation unaided.
Pre-installation:
Frame mounted:
Clearanced J-Wrap (note that I took the picture after ensuring clearance, but before cleaning up the sharp edges):
Our son helping with final checks on tightening bolts after re-installing the step assembly.
Steps installed and stowed in travel position:
Steps deployed. The ground at this site is a couple inches lower than the pad. The steps are on the medium setting and the legs are at the next to last adjustment setting.
So far we are liking them. Of course, tomorrow we fly out west for the holidays, so we won't get much practical experience until January when we get back and start traveling in Florida.

Great to hear! I know you'll love them. We still love ours.

Ditto for us. One of the best improvements we've made.

I installed a Mor-Ride sliding tray a few weeks ago. I'm loven it a lot. Quite a bit of storage underneath and it slides out 60% to either side.

Had our tray installed at the 2015 Goshen Rally. I fill up the area below the tray with flat objects like folding tables. It makes accessing my storage bins, pellet grill and tools very convenient. Not sure what I'd do without it. Saves more time overall than autolevel.

We installed the Furrion high speed rear view camera to the existing mount/wiring on the rear of our Big Country:

It is terrific!! Extremely helpful for seeing behind a 41' rig. The view is wide angle and can see quite a bit back there! It's great to see who's directly following you, as well as helpful for lane changes and merging into traffic. We highly recommend this addition!
