I picked up the idea here and replaced the one feeble running light (step light) with 5 blue truck LED side markers. Found them on eBay for less than $6. Thought it might take me days drilling holes in the I beam frame, not bad at all, 1/8" pilot hole and then larger screw holes. had no...

Very scary stuff, right there, for those not accustom to hail! Traveling north a couple of years ago, got caught in hail in SC with my Durango. $1400. damage! DW was sure the windshield was going to come crashing in on us. Not fun!

Waddled back to our rig after a GREAT fish fry & DTP. The desserts were to die for, AND I'm on a see food diet. THANK YOU Linda & Walt West for a great job hosting the Florida Chapter Rally this weekend. Was a wonderful experience for us newbies. Met some wonderful new friends (we didn't meet...

We rolled in@ 2. Wonderland weather & ocean breeze! Headed to meet & greet shortly! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

We've had our share of hard rain here in Central Florida, but I've been suspicious of water infiltration in this area since we purchased our used 2011 Greystone 32RL the end of September '16. Looking at the gasket, the corner had pulled away from the radius. I pulled it down, cleaned the area...

I'm tired just reading all the work you've done after a FULL days work. Awesome looking install. Seems you have the bases covered, knowing how much juice the unit draws when not in use etc. Being electronically challenged, I marvel at those that dive right in and get the job done. Good find via...

AND it can happen in a heart beat! I may well wear out my 4-way flashers, I try to alert those behind me of any sign of concern ahead. People (in general) tend to be clueless to their surroundings, and potential problems, I know I can't save the world, I just want to stay safe. (selfish I know)

Proud new parents, as well you should be!:p Like your TV as well. Ours is a RAM 2500HD. Enjoy and safe travels.

Curious about what Smokey has to say about blocked visibility thru your windshield. Maybe they have bigger fish to fry. NYS Troopers would be all over you there. Just sayin. Very cool idea, I'm just not smart enough to figure out how the data gets to the tablet. My TV is a '05 Ram w/Cummins 5.9L.

Dennyha - do you get the feeling that we're visual folks here? Me too. So I'll wait patiently for the pictures. Good luck with the rest of your install. Sounds like you're well on your way!

Erika - thanks. Did not mention that the table might well be used for other things, but my wife is a quilter and spends half her time at one of her machines. This table is 42" long and 22" wide. It will not interfere with MY Euro recliner, nor other use of the area. It can be pushed back under...

Just finished construction & installation of a hide away sewing work table for my bride. The leg/support has to be attached to the table, as the computer printer is located below the desk area. Since we will be near our kids in Ohio for the summer, she must have her small sewing machine...

TXBobcat - thanks for sharing your experience with backing. Cool method. Nice campground with all the trees, judging how far out your off door slide would come, in relation to the tree limb, was a bonus, for sure. (well planned) Always marveled (as a young man - 55 years ago) at a trucking...

I would add a photo, were I a little smarter. I don't want to start a new topic. I'll work at it! SHADE will help make it look great! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

I worked in our rig yesterday...appreciate your kind reminder about leaving the slides out.............OH, wait a minute, it was 88° here in Florida! AND I didn't appreciate your nice pictures of all that white "stuff", but it was a reminder of how much I (don't) miss Upstate NY this time of...

SLO very nice install. I intensely dislike folks who do such nice work (hate is too strong a word)! The pictures ARE worth a 1000 words. Don't believe I'll ever venture in the solar direction, but that is a great installation. Enjoy!

John....you're a better man than I! "Installing and removing these 2 battery boxes is not easy and will get more difficult with each passing season." this statement is spot on, me being 74, and fairly active, it still hurts me all over, just to think about this project. I hope someone more...

As stated before, you'll develop a routine for your rig in particular. I downloaded the Adventure Treks app to my Android phone and customized it to my liking. It has RV Departure, RV Arrival & setup and Camping Preparation. All can be customized easily. Go to your app store, and good luck.

WHAT? ??? Sorry you will miss this one, it will be our first Rally! Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

My wife complains about the time I spend online. .....BUT never about the ideas I pick up HERE! Great group & very willing to share! Safe travels to you. Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Blue lights installed, tested & what an improvement! Awesome. Sent from my LGL41C using Tapatalk

Ordered and received the truck blue LED lights (special) from eBay, that I spotted here on this thread, for step lights. Went to the rig in storage about 4:30 yesterday (temp was 86° nice breeze), as I knew I'd be in the shade of another 5th wheel parked next to me. (lots of motorhomes & TT...

Where oh where are the PC Police? ;):D Blondes are just too easy a target.

OUCH! :( Cool program AutoCAD, you done good. Learning curve is steep, but well worth the effort.

Bingo - cool clear water.............. The BIG question is does the A/C work? There you are. Happy Trails ♪♪♫♪♫♫

NOTE DATE OF POST 06-23-2014, 04:19 PM "Just received a pleasant surprise from Heartland factory tech. The subject batteries, at least in my unit, are from Exide. The sticker, which states " D27DC-160" translates to mean group 27 size. Take note these batteries are the "economy" model (Exides...

Do your search here. Lots of great thoughts and ideas. I've towed all sorts of trailers for 50 years. Just acquired our first 5th wheel. Remember to go slow and don't be afraid to pull forward and straighten up the whole unit. One trick I love, put your hand at the bottom of your steering wheel...

Grey Ghost We feel your pain. Ours is a 2011 Greystone 32RL, and it's my understanding that UV inhibitors were not added to the mix of things, and thus the fading problems. We bought this rig in NY state and are residents of FL, so the sun does shine down. Not looking forward to drastic...

OK, so when the water does back up and builds pressure..............you'll have a rubber bullet flying thru your rig.:confused: Sorry, couldn't resist. That seems odd that the factory would not cap that. Assume there is a drain vent to the exterior.

Happy Camper - that is not called Luxury Brown, that's called AWESOME! AND me with a '05 RAM2500, but I'm happy. Safe travels to you.

We have a 2011 Greystone 32RL, so I'm not familiar with your bedroom layout.....but how different can they be? Our bedroom slide out has a built in "night stand" that intrudes into the front closet. So, I built a shelf to fit my ResMed machine and attached it to the back of that unit. Since I...

I've seen comments on cutting a proper length of PVC pipe to have near by to prop this emergency window open should you NEED to make a quick exit (hope never have to do this)!

Being new to 5th wheels, and 6'4", this area is the biggest "pain" for me! Fred, nice clean looking job. But I still am going to have to almost get on my hands and knees.:(

Thanks for the positive feedback! BUT. Perish the thought. Cabinet making is a hobby, but I work better with a plan than by the seat of my pants. I guess the PC term today is "intuitive engineer" :p

Thought we needed a little end table between our recliners, saw a picture of a small table in a catalog ($189.00) told DW, I can build that. AND so I did. Not happy with the stain job, but she's happy, and we all know about that. Next project is a pull out sewing table that I will locate under...

After carrying and being licensed since '79, we hope we still never are in a situation, but I'd rather be prepared than not. I love my EDC Ruger SR9c, my wife too has some issues with upper body strength so I started her on a small boat anchor gun (55 year old HEAVY METAL .380). It's still in...

That right there is funny, I don't care who you are!!!!!:)

I'm with you! It's called incrementalism and the folks who think they know better how we should live our lives will keep chipping away at our freedoms. .....and the elites wonder why Trump has such a following! GET off our backs and let US enjoy the life we've chosen to live! !!![emoji16]...
