On my 2017 the water pump is under the kitchen sink behind a short false wall. The pump even had a hose attached for winterizing. The location is pretty much directly above the fresh water tank. As far as the drain goes, yes you should have one. I can access mine from the door side of the camper...

Finally got around to upgrading the electrical service to my camper while at home base! Currently doing an extended AC test and all is going very well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure it is, but really? LOL. On a different note I'm camping tonight in 54 degrees with a breeze that makes me think it is much colder and my glowsteps are amazing. Not so much due to a glow, but for comfort and security going in and out. I wish I would've known about these years ago...

I can NOT show my wife this! Looks great and I want it done to mine! Have never understood why this wasn't done at the factory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had my camper out of storage for a week. First thing I did was the Glowsteps, which I did post about. In the time since my wife, the kids, even the neighbors have been in and out of my camper watching me do other spring time things and almost every time the comments have been 'why don't...

I stored my old steps so that I can put them back on should I ever sell or trade my camper; I will put them back on. The Glowsteps will stay with me and be put on my next camper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it took me about 25 minutes total as well. Dropping the old steps was scary easy and quick for me, which surprised me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input, and even more importantly being able to read through my horrible text! Wow, I should either never multi-task or proofread; maybe both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, my truck has a. Ack up camera built in making hitching a breeze. That being said, I've kind of wanting a backup camera for the camper. Sometimes I think I'd like it for traffic and other times I think I only need it for those occasional tricky to back into spots. So do I go with a camera I...

I do still have it! I may go back to the white gas, but that tank and I do not always see eye to eye! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great question! I'm going to attempt to reduce movement in the camper. I often use what I refer to as out rigging that really helps, but I'm growing tired of the process of wedging them against the frame rails and the ratchet strapping them (if I had a picture it would make more sense, but it is...

While not a camper mod, it is related! We seem to be stuck in constant rain, so starting my next camper project has to wait (going to mount scissor jacks in the middle of my camper). Next best thing: cleaning up and prepping my grandfathers 1963 Coleman 443 for a summer of fun! Sent from my...

Glowsteps are installed. The installation went rather smoothly in fact! Now to de-winterize and prep the camper to go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly I'm not sure! I'm guessing with some creativity you could come up with something, but I'm guessing it will potentially impact the heating and cooling of the camper. Don't let the lack of the door bother you too much. Remember the master does have doors! And while I don't know your...

Re: Pull out drawer storage on dinette of M32 and other Mallards? Oh no! Don't rethink everything. We've added simple over the door towel rack that hangs inside the bathroom for towels and on the coach side of that we've added coat hooks (also over the door design) for, well, coats/jackets...

Re: Pull out drawer storage on dinette of M32 and other Mallards? Nope! Next to the micro we keep some plates, some spices, and some pots and pans (light soup pans), a strainer, and other smaller items. We use the cabinet across from the bathroom, above the vacuum as our pantry and it works...

Re: Pull out drawer storage on dinette of M32 and other Mallards? The pantry in our M32 has worked just fine, with us having enough room for what we need/take with respect to dry foods and cans. I did however, add a drawer under the dinette. It is plastic with plastic 'runners' that it slides...

Glowsteps (they are in their folded position). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look what showed up today!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Understandable. We are careful with respect to the locations we take our own as it isn't allowed in many places. That being said we find ourselves having to weekend it at local spots that do allow us to bring our own. Then, on those rare occasions we don't camp we often have our own backyard...

Great ideas; I will without a doubt put a knot in my vacuum chord soon! Where did you end up putting your TP holder? I can't decide upon the 'best' location! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm super excited. Only getting one set for my M32.. Putting them on the 'front' door. If we like them as much as I think I'm guessing next summer it will be a set for the 'back' door! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My glow steps should be here Monday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While technucally not for the camper, this is what I did today for camping season! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My M32 had the three valve system and I did need to remove a "wall/access panel" in order to get the job done. Side note: at least one of the valves was hard for me to see initially as the lever was facing away from me. That being said, I was using a crappy light! Sent from my iPhone using...

Simple, productive; I know I would've gotten there sooner or later! This straightforward test has just become part of this years spring thaw. One of those rare things that you can do to a camper that might actually save me money, LOL. THANKS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, that would kill me to not be able to use my new camper right away! Best of luck with 'spring fever', as I'm guessing it might get kind of bad! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats on the new camper! Are you having your friend tow it to a park or are you all in for a driveway camp? As far as the hitch goes, having it rated for more than what the tongue weight of your camper tongue, in my opinion, is a good thing and you should be fine, assuming all the parts are...

I'm pretty sure that during my walk through I was surprised to learn that my Mallard M32 had a manual switch for this job. It is on my list to upgrade! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great. I never gave much thought to distance between the water flow and the sink, now it is going to drive me nuts! I think I will just keep this post out of the site of my wife, LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries, it is pretty simple all things considered. Your 13,000 btu will do a solid job of warming up your camper, but if you are connected to shore power it is always a good idea to supplement (and reduce LP use) with a ceramic heater. Assuming you have an analogue thermostat all you really...

I think you might find this topic has been addressed and discussed several times in this forum! That being said, all things tires are extremely important to what it is we do. There are many great portable compressors on the market and investing in one was a great choice for me. I have a Porter...

Looks like a job well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks to everyone for sharing. I really had no idea that we all pretty much keep our hitch assemblies for so long! My equalizer works just fine, but I do think I will replace the 'L' brackets that are bolted on to the tongue of the camper this year, as those show some wear. Thanks again...

Your current weather sounds like Iowa weather in the spring! Fun stuff. Was the door to the kitchen shut tight? I've noticed that my DW doesn't always give it the extra little push to secure the latch. I'm still debating a tin wrap of some sort (putting the fridge and sink back in once done)...

I have the same camper, just the 2016 version. Can't say I've experienced the same thing, at least not yet. I wonder if a pack of DampRid in the outside kitchen might help? Couldn't hurt I guess. Part of me wants to pull the fridge out, even the sink and wrap the back wall (starting just under...

Re: Frustrated Greetings Nurseotter, Well it would seem your introduction to Iowa hasn't been very nice. I'm a few hours away from you in Waterloo, Iowa and I think it warmed up to a -6 today, starting at something like -17. Sounds like you have a relatively new camper and with almost all new...

Open to ridicule? While I'm pretty sure I have said on multiple occasions the the internet is the root of all evil, I'm pretty sure I was referencing FB! As far as being 'lazy', I know I have on more than one occasion put off the winterization task! Here's to hoping everything survives winter...

It would seem you've covered all the bases and can rest easy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
