Very interesting! Do you have a page somewhere that explains how you use these? We only have an 18 foot camper so the weight isn't an issue and we probably don't need to park on a board, but it's an interesting concept. Send me a link if there is one on how you use them to level. And I'm definitely going to make some pads for under the stabilizers.

I don't have any pictures using them. Most paved spots we go to are about the thickness of the plank out of level and a few places are gravel or even grass so we needed something to help disperse the weight. When we get to the spot we want, I usually back in, check my levels, pull forward enough for the length of the plank, add as many as I need to get level, and back up. I also bought some Lynx blocks to add on top of the planks instead of having more planks. I'm tired off taking too much stuff.

Have to utilize the space in the TH so i made a simple wedge style towel rack. Mounted ove the toilet it was wasted space.![[image]](http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af82/Avi05/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsmltwlhro.jpeg) ![[image]](http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af82/Avi05/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsg17zdgcq.jpeg) ![[image]](http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af82/Avi05/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpseymqhua0.jpeg) ![[image]](http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af82/Avi05/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsai3wrqdt.jpeg)

Do power hitches have a manual override?
Just learning all about trailering with something longer than my 17 1/2' boat or pop-up tent trailer.
I accept any and all advice you can give me, and I hope to be able to help in my limited capacity. ">

"Do power hitches have a manual override?"
Dumb question of the day. What is a power hitch?
I really like your towel rack eDUBz. Looks very practical.

It's a power tongue jack, and yes they have a manual override. It's a crank handle and an adapter

Just finished 248 pages of mods. WOW. I have looked at other mod pages and these are unique. Very practical. Before the season starts I will be busy. This weekend I have a lot of work to do.

I know others have done this but I wanted to show my before and after pictures which really illustrate the difference LED lights make. These are bulbs I have used before so I trust them but they are pricey for sure. I got them on Amazon (Alla Lighting CANBUS Error Free Extremely Super Bright T10 Wedge ) and they were $12 for 2 bulbs. You can get bulbs for much less but I'm not sure about the longevity, many of the cheap bulbs have a reputation for 'flickering' after a few hours of usage. So, $95 bucks for 16 bulbs but the difference is amazing. I didn't replace every bulb, I kept the stock bulbs over the beds and over the couch so people aren't blinded when using the light in the middle of the night ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/cool.gif "cool") You can really see the difference if you look behind bathroom door in the bunk area.

I think my best RV investment to date. A Pragma adjustable bed. Bought the frame from Walmart and the memoryfoam mattress from Amazon. The queen fits almost perfectly on the pedastle. Its about 3 inches longer, but that allows the foot-side leg brackets to hang over the edge. I did have to remove the center bracket that holds the center supports and cut off the legs. But I cleaned up the edges and re-painted them. The front and back legs came off with screws. I have a bad back, so this will allow me to sleep pain free. The wife is looking forward to being able to recline and enjoy a video. I'll report back in a few weeks after our first trip with it.
