Lol Dane,
We had the exact pattern until last year.
But they were runners around the island.

Added upper and lower blowers like this to the refrigerator vents. Wago 3 conductor lever nuts made it a pretty easy job. Picked up 12V DC at the main power coming to the fridge from the fuse box. Replaced the wire nuts with Wago connectors.
Blowers are zip tied to the vent covers. The blowers and zip ties are not visible from outside.
There is now an amazing amount of air coming out the top vent and it is quite a bit warmer than ambient temp.
I have a switch on the way that'll be mounted next to the lower vent. I may add a thermostat in the future so the blowers run only above a set temp.

Keep an eye on the zip ties. We have bug screens on our fridge vents held on with zip ties. One fails about every 6-9 months. I just noticed before our last trip that a zip tie holding things to our flexible race under the slide had failed, causing the propane hose to possibly rub against the j-wrap.

Last night about 7:20 we had a gust of wind hit the awning. We were trying to retract it when the gust hit. Now it has bent arms and is crooked.
Anyone else had this happen?
Did you use your insurance to replace/repair?
What was the cost?

Same idea, but the ones I got are 120MM X 120MM versus 75MM x 75MM.

Gotcha. Thank you.
I’ve been planning on doing something like this for a seasons. Now would be a good time.

Finished up the fan mod this morning. I picked up a 120mm version. But I picked it up as a 120v versus 12v. Right below the refrigerator is an outside receptacle. So I just ran the plug through the vent cover. I can plug it in when I think it’s needed. Or push it up into the vent when not.
Simple is good.

Did a mod in the cargo area which I know several folks have done. Removed front wall, untangled the electrical lines with the pex line (very dangerous), moved the LevelUp box so you don't bump your head and opened up some more storage space. Sorry no before pics as wall was being taken down showing the mess but ....

cleaned the rubber roof, washed sides; found yellowjacket nest in the refig compartment. Then applied rubber roof protection should be good to go now.

Glued several pieces of Coffered ceiling trim up. The 3 or 4 ok maybe 5 pin nails didn't hold.
I noticed while watching tv one section was missing. Looked behind the trim at the top of the slide and guess what. Thank goodness / God it was not damaged. By the end of the evening I had pulled down 3 sections and glued three back in place.

When we bought our Big Country in 2016, I thought it needed a backsplash in the bathroom. 5 years later, I finally got around to doing it! These are self-stick gel tiles, about 12x12 sheets. Purchased from Amazon.

Erica, that looks nice. What do you charge to install? I am down here not too far from Cisco with nothing to do, I can be up there in a few days for the installation.

Haha, George, the problem is my time! This took much longer than it should. The tile is on 10x10 sheets, with a specific overlapping pattern. Each sheet is identical. Well, I didn’t want the pattern to repeat so often, so I cut the sheets and shifted it, so it repeats less noticeably. This created a much more difficult install, as every sheet had to be cut and carefully placed, rather than apply them one right after another as is.
If you don’t mind the repeat, applying these sheets is pretty easy. The key is that the first one absolutely must be straight!
