Have you done any modifications to your trailer that are general (not specific to one model) in nature? Share them with others here.
Well in order to keep a long story from getting longer, I will try and be brief. I was having problems with my front landing gear. I found out there is an upgrade to install a second motor, so that each leg will be independent. Cool. Together, the OEM gear was rated at 5,000 pound lift capacity...
At the last two rallies (2007 Fall SE and SW Regions), I was asked to consider creating a forum for modifications. Great idea! Here it is. When posting here, if you are adding your own modification, please start a "New Thread". In your new thread title, indicated what model trailer you have...
So far this summer, my single ac has had a hard time keeping the 5er cool. The unit is prepped for the second ac unit, but was wondering how hard it is to install. I am mainly curious about tying it into the existing ductwork and thermostat. Any opinions or advise?
I was thinking about changing the flooring in my Bighorn and had heard that some people used Allure flooring. I checked it out to find some dealers around home and came accross this disturbing and informative blog. Here is the link ...
Sam and I enjoy the layout of our BC but there was way too much brown and froo-froo (is that a word??) for our taste. We needed a little color inside to brighten things up a bit. We also removed the wall border and the trim on the valances. Still wondering if we made the right decision on...
There was a discussion a while ago about where to hang towels in the bathroom. We had this rack back with our TT (got it at WalMart, I think), hanging over the door to the small bath. Here, it hangs over the shower door. When we need to use the shower, it gets hung from inside the cabinet over...
Have been thinking about this for a while. It is hanging sun screen on awning in a way that it roll up and down with it. I have an electric awning didn't know if it had enough power or not. Went to Harbor Fright bought a 9' X15'' mess tarp then went to Lowe's for .140" window screen welt. Took it...
I mentioned doing this some time ago, but today I finally installed the finish trim I had to make and took some photos. This was a left over package of cedar closet liner from a home project twenty some years ago. All attached with Liquid Nails. While finishing this up, I found a section of loose...
Suffering as I am from poison something or other on my poor body, I spent the day in my garage/workshop making some cedar trim moulding strips to finish off the cedar paneling I installed in the BH closet, made another kitchen cabinet shelf insert, and three more 4x4 cribbing pads. I'll be needing...
Hello,first post here.We love our new Sundance BUT,we have real concerns over our CHINESE made Mission tires. That is the ONLY items on this FW that we are not happy:mad: with.Any one else running these and how long ? I'm afraid before our Yellowstone trip next year,we will have to replace them....
I found a place that sells cylinder locks to replace the 751 locks that came with your rig. These are very well made and the cam is held on with nylock nuts and not screws. The new locks come with tube keys and also a master reset key. I change all my locks and on the bigger doors installed two. I...
We converted the hauler area to handle six full size dog crates by beefing up the bottom bunk bed (adding tubular steel supports) and anchoring 3 crates on the floor and 3 on the lower bunk. We swapped the bunk connector pins for bolts and nuts on the connections to the rails. We also added...
After fixing the ice maker line a few times, and returning to find more leaks, I decided to replace and upgrade the entire system. I bought a 10' and a 1' PVC supply line, a PEX street elbow and a new brass 1/4 valve. I removed the factory ice maker supply line and shut off valve starting at...
I got rid of the cap for the big access hole in the udc and fastened a nylon cutting board from W.M. down inside the bottom. I ran my fresh water hose down and fastened it back underneith to keep it from hanging down. I added an extension to my black tank flush and driiled and plugged a hole for...
Alright I'm considering a sliding tray for my basement. A 60" Super slide II with 35" trim kit will fit. Only problem, how deep is the actual tray? As a carpenter/fabricator I can build a slide using 60" Accuride full extension drawer slides. My issue is the Super slide II is $385.67, the...
With the release of the 2011 Big Horns and Landmarks with a key-less entry systems, we got a little jelous, so after another forum member found in a different thread, RVLock out of Utah has released a replacement door lock/latch that is a keyless entry system. We ordered one and I got it...
I've been pack-ratting a left over 20 sf. package of cedar closet liner ever since Forest City went out of business a millenia ago. Had used it in our first house to panel a wall in the living room. What to do with it??? After seeing some other models with cedar in the closets, it dawned on...
DW did not use the oven for anything but storage. So we had the stove and oven removed, installed a cook top, and constructed a cabinet with a sliding shelf in place of the oven. The ice maker fits perfectly in the cabinet, pulls forward when in use, and stores neatly in the cabinet, and there is...
Has anyone added quick disconnect tubing from the door side propane tank? My DW refuses to let me cook bacon or sausages in the kitchen so I will have to use a Coleman stove outside connected to the propane tank instead of one pound bottles. Would also work nice for a Weber Baby Q.
Looking for a way to utilize the wasted space at the top of cabinets on either side of the fridge and not have to dig to find stuff at the back, I made these inserts from 1/2" plywood I had on hand. Nothing fancy, just a 1/4" dado on the sides, just below the tops and a 1/4" rabbet on the shelf...
We are in a back-in site and the ladder mount does not give us an opportunity to display the club plaque, So I went to Home Depot and bought 2 7/16" coupler nuts and epoxied them to the front of the pin box. Now the plaque can just slip into the two nuts ans hang on the front of the pin-box. ...
I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. Click Here. I bought it at our local dealer for a bit more money and found it at Tweety's for less but at least I have it now and installed it today. It is battery operated but I can't imagine the batteries running down because they...
