Project LM 365

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Yes I found a nice buss bar at West Marine.
I had posted the first upgrade on, (What did you do to your RV today)
I had the dealer install the Go Power 320 watt solar system.
I decided to let them do it so they will back up any issues that could arise in the future, with the roof seal or electrical issues with the extra transfer switches. Anyway after they were done I moved things around and cleaned it all up.

Then after I redid it

Then redid it again

On your picture of the post with what looks like multiple connectors with a nut to secure them, did you use any dilectric paste to help with the dis-similar metals?

I love the Go power system. It is one of the best upgrades you can do. Push 1 button and everything works. Coffee pot, microwave, TV's, Dish, and the electric theater seats.
I don't think my generator is going to get much use.
I had almost 300 hours on my last gen after 10 years of use. I have 1 hour on this one.

Had to break out the label maker and tag some things today. Now I can see them with or without my cheaters.. Getting kinda blind in my old age.

looks good. Guess it costs too much for the factory to do that.

LOL
They are trying to save weight.

Another Mod.
Heartland decided to put 1 switch to run both basement light on the left side of the basement. The wrong side if you ask me. So I installed a switch and 2 super bright LED light strips on the camp side of the basement. Now I have a switch and lights on both sides.

I might even put it on a timer switch just in case I forget to turn them off. They can get pretty warm if left on a while.

While we're on the subject of the LED Sign, I was thinking today that it would be nice to have a way to easily secure the sign to the coach "just in case" you traveled with it on the coach. I sort of fear this.

Since the sign hangs on the coach nicely from the top, maybe a single fastener through the front panel in the center (L-R) a 1/4" up from the bottom. Some sort of machine-threaded fastener with a tiny knurled end or star knob. Then on the coach, a recessed nut of some sort. Paint the fastener gloss-black to match the black powder coat and it would be almost invisible.

You can do this Jerrod!

Happened to me on our trip back from DC two weeks ago. I had the sign out while we were camping and forgot to bring it in before we pulled out. Totally surprised to see it still hanging in it's bracket after the 240 mile trip from Maryland to Southeast Virginia. Can't see where it did any damage to the coach paint, but I'd rather not do that again. Need to add "Bring in sign" to my Break Camp To Do list.

Wow Keith - that's amazing that it stayed on and it's also "good to know" that "there's a chance" this would stay on in case someone forgets it.

Jerrod - when you say "She set up the forum", are you saying she just created her own user account? If not, that would be best - for you each to have your own. But if that's not what you mean or want, no problem - I can alter your username. Unsure if the & sign will work and spaces might be difficult to remember when logging in from multiple devices. But I'm willing to try it - just let me know what you want to do.

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Got ya
I'll figure out how to get you my number and call me when you have time and I'll explain what I'm trying to do.

Another easy Mod.
I replaced my 2 7-gallon propane bottles with 2 10-gallon with the gauge on the tank. They are a bit pricey but worth the piece of mind to me.
They separated my 2 tanks when they installed the Generator, so now the Gen has 1 tank and the coach has the ether with no back up tank for ether one. The coach doesn't use much at all and after 5 months they are both still full. But its nice to just being able to visually check them once in a while.

You must have had you Generator put in aftermarket because when the factory did mine it is still working of both tanks.

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Ya my dealer did it
I'm kinda thinking he took the easy way out.
He said you don't want the gen fuel pump sucking from any pilot lights like on the water heater
He kinda made a little bit of sense and it was already done when I picked it up.
I minght change it back and just put a gate valve on it so I can control what fuel goes where.
I'm getting ready to re-plum that gas line that go's back to the axles and make it come out on the camp side for the BBQ and camp fire pit.

1 more Mod off my list.
After 4 months of waiting.
The first door I ordered, after waiting about 5 weeks. I get it home open up the box and it's the wrong wood color. Apparently the VIN# has a the other wood in my coach. The dealer has ordered this door, a kitchen cupboard door, and a closet door, off the VIN# and they have all been the wrong color wood. Now we know.....
Well back to the Mod
I replaced the vented entry closet door with this nice looking panel door.

That looks nice? Is that where the washer and dryer use to be?
