Hey Pam, how do you keep the wine glasses from falling out of that holder while you're driving down the road?

We thought of doing the same thing, but thought they would just rattle loose

Pat,

They are the plastic glasses and they have never come out (at least not going down the road).

Nice mods, thanks for sharing.

My favorite mod so far. Added a Marinco 30 amp plug in the hole where the old cord was. No more wrapping the power cord with steel wool to keep the critters out.

I added these extra hoses to the water pump this weekend and they REALLY worked!

They are well worth the few bucks and a few minutes of time for the installation.

We added these scissor jacks in front of our front wheels on the TT and they make a huge differenece in stabilizing the camper while parked.

We mounted them in front of the wheels in case any road debris was kicked up behind the axles.

My DW is a believer in hanging stuff up in the closet and was always complaining that all the clothes would just be in a pile when we arrived at the CG or at home. I put a cup hook in each side of the closet directly below the pole and loosely attached two bungy cords around the tops of the hangers. If interested, I'll post a picture later.


Well, the loosely attached bungy cords didn't work so well. I replaced them with a single cord that needed a bit of stretch to reach the hooks and it worked much better. The clothes stayed put on the closet pole and the cup hooks didn't rip out of the wall. Will post pictures later.

This may sound dumb, but what was the purpose of adding the hoses. Don't know if this is something to do or not. Thanks

The hoses reduce the noise level from the water pump. I was really surprised how quiet the pump is now!

Count me in the "confused" group... (sorry)

How do extra hoses quiet the pump?
