Looks like they didn't have much choice with the awning below it

Jerrod, Yes, they did not have a choice. The other difference is you have Carefree slide awnings the brackets are different than the Dometic, which I have. I have a Landmark, not a 365 so there may a difference there. You might need to build some custom brackets to mount the slide cradle. Also the Patio awning on the slide maybe installed higher than mine.

My slide Patio awning and Slide awning where installed at the factory. Maybe the factory installed the Patio awning on mine lower to accommodate the slide awnings. I wish I could take pictures of my awnings and slide cradles, but my trailer is in the shop for repairs. I am hoping I will get it back in about three weeks.

Ya I wish I had factory toppers ... That's my 1 major regret of not special ordering out rig. We fell in love with it on the lot and had to have it.

Jerrod, I looked at the install manual and the awning comes with a tall bracket and a short bracket. If the short bracket was used it would lower the awning roller about 3 inches. Here is a link to the parts list for the awning.

Well I finally got back to work on the rig. Trying to track down the coax cable problem from the roof antenna to the living room TV and Wilson phone booster. I found a few problems
#1) the antenna/cable switch in the bedroom cabinet was wired wrong.
#2) the RG6 cable in the living room slide wall has a short in it must be a screw or something in it.

I made new coax jumpers with my new kit

So now with using the 2 Diplexers 1 on the roof and 1 in the living room cabinet I now have the over the air antenna and the Wilson 4G Cel booster working through that 1 RG6 cable coming from the roof

Thanks Terry that is a big difference I'll look into that.

Let me know how that goes. Mine are mounted just below the roofline which is almost 12' off the ground. Even with max downtilt the ends are 10' up.

Very small Mod
I'm always save small brackets, clips, screw, fasteners, L brackets, anything that comes in packages from things I buy. Just all those things you didn't use when you put something together. I don't use the directions so maybe I was supposed to use it. LOL
Anyway I went digging through one of my dodad dewars and found exactly what I was looking for, actually even better then what I was looking for. I was planning on having to make something.
This little plastic clip (don't know what it was from but I have 2 of them) and a little rubber pad that fit in it perfectly.
Screwed it on to the basement door and done deal. 2 minutes
Took me longer to post it LOL.

Depends on how much you keep. If you can't walk through your garage or shop without making a path, you've kept to much

Jerrod, we don't own a garage -- fulltiming -- but we do have a number of plastic shoeboxes labeled "trailer repair" and "electrical" and "plumbing" and "misc fasteners", lol!

Jerrod,
how does the cell booster and antenna work with them combined. i would have thought the signals would get screwed up.

Sitting in my side yard every thing is working good. When I first plugged in the Wilson booster the TV picture scrambled for a second then came back to a perfect picture. There may be a time or two that I would use the both at the same time but with the satellite dish it is unlikely. Usually when we're in places thet we need the phone booster there are no over the air stations anyway.
I just wanted to have the option of both without running another cable.
At home my RSSI sig goes from 77%, plug in the booster and it goes right to 100%
Looks like it's working too.

Landmark owners without dishwasher.
Under the sink there is a Y-pipe for the dishwasher connection. For some reason they did not cap the open fitting, not sure if it was just mine or all of them. The open fitting is about 1 foot below the sink under the island behind the drawers. When the gray tank is full it overflows out of the spout under the island. :(
I looked all over Lowes pluming isles trying to find a cap, with no luck. Then I found this package of chair tips in the nick-nack section. It fit perfectly
You can get easy access to it by pulling the pass through drawer out to the table side then pull the second drawer toward the kitchen side and you will see the fitting.

Same with our 2015 Newport. We had to cap our's because the sewer smell was horrible. Can't believe Heartland let this flaw of omission get by them.

I finally was able to do another MOD.
My triple switch came in the mail while we were gone.
The factory had installed my 2 A/C control panels off set and not level with one another, and it's been bugging use since we got it. I moved the 3rd A/C control up and over and remounted it there, then I centered the triple switch in between them. I had to drill a 2.5 inch (round) hole with a hole saw instead of a chain saw like the factory used.
All of the wires were long enough to just move them down just "PLUG N PLAY". The switches I received have a smaller post on them, but beings they are LED and a small draw of power I'm not to worried about it heating up.
This simple MOD will make switching on and off the 3 main light banks so much easier now.
