Very simple mod -- I got one of those 'over the sink' shelves (@ Ross -- bamboo -- $10) and it fit *perfectly* behind the stove. I can always use an extra shelf!!

Not photos yet, but DH just added a second gray water holding tank under the HTT. We've had a couple of mishaps right at the end of a trip with the gray water tank filling completely up and water coming back up the shower drain. Smelly and not fun! [emoticon]

The second tank should eliminate those issues without having to make a trip to the dump station.

Did he connect the two tanks together or does one section of the trailer fill one tank and the other section the other tank? Pictures would be cool.

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

He connected them together. I'll try to get pics today if it's not raining.

We bought a 2001 Jayco Kiwi 23b. As far as we can see, no maintenance was done on this camper in 9 years! After tearing out the linoleum, we found quite a bit of water staining and one spot where it was really rotted. We have contained all the leaks, and have installed laminate flooring left over from when we built our house. My husband is yet to finish the molding, but I love it! Here are a few pictures of our floor installation. We are hoping the flooring will last until we buy a newer camper.
