    Cold garage

    Sorry for the late reply, I have not bee on the site in a while. I figured the liquid nails would not adhere to the fabric, so for each panel, I cut out a circle of fabric in the center of the square section where I was applying the liquid nails to the foam panel. I figured this would be ok...

    Cold garage

    Flipping the door only took about 30 minutes. The track the door is on is symetrical on both sides. You just have unscrew the brackets that hold the fixed panel of the sliding glass door and move it to the other side. You then need the take the rollers off the bottom of the moving panel and flip...

    Cold garage

    *****Status update***** After camping at the beach for four days, I noticed a drastic difference in the temp retention after the modifications. The outside temp only was in the 60's but the inside of the garage held at about 75 with three kids back there. Before I put in the foam and carpet...

    TV mounting placement

    On my 301, I mounted a TV in the master bedroom and the garage. I ignored the mount here stickers and used a stud finder for the master bedroom and special metal stud finder for the garage. Of course, the aluminum studs aren't easy to find with the magnet stud finder but there was a...

    Cold garage

    Now that I have had my 2013 301 for over a year now, I have definitely noticed that there is a huge difference in the temperature of the coach and the garage when camping below 50 degrees. The little 1 1/2 inch heater vent does nothing back there. It actually blows cold air. Since air comes out...

    2013 Lots of mods made

    Here are the pictures as promised. There is a picture showing the panels on the roof, a picture showing the roof entry point that goes into the wiring channel behind the control panel, a picture of the control panel, and a close up picture of the solar charge controller panel next to the...

    2013 Lots of mods made

    I mounted the panel towards the back of the coach so they would not be shadowed by anything. The wire run was pretty easy but took some planning. I drilled a hole in the roof right above the main wiring run which is behind the control panel. If you remove the control panel, (only like 6 screws)...

    2013 Lots of mods made

    I installed the bunk rails using 10 inch angle brackets from home depot. On the bunk there only seems to be a stud right at the edge. With 1 decent size lag bolt a piece, they wont move. I installed a Fantastic vent in the garage and it moves some air! I installed the one with the remote.

    2013 Lots of mods made

    The main advantage of flipping the sliding glass door was to get more heat to the garage. The little 2 inch heat register in the garage gives little if not any heat in the garage due to bad engineering on the proper length and ducting size to carry the heat the long distance back there. Seems...

    2013 Lots of mods made

    Running the wires wasn't that bad. I though it might be hard when the walls are foam filled. First I took off the cover to the air vent. Then I only had to fish a wire from the shelf, (where the switch is located), to the air vent enclosure and then from the air vent enclosure to the new switch...

    Some Options I Would Like to See

    I just purchased a Torque 301 last month I noticed some options that will be important for future Torque buyers. 1. A must need is a bathroom light switch not on the ceiling. My 4 year old cannot turn on the bathroom light! 2. A fantastic fan in the kitchen where I cannot reach the ceiling...
