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

Where did he purchase the tank from?


He purchased it online with PPL Motorhomes. He's gone out to take some pics right now so I'll try to get them uploaded soon.

I'm glad we have this mod since we are going on a 9 day camping trip in June. Hoping to only load up once during the trip to go to the dump station.

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.

Your flooring looks great, I'am busy installing new laminate (heritage birch) in our prowler fifthwheel as well, the trouble is every wall is very crooked, and I found nice new carped for the bedroom,that a builder had tossed for a new show home. tossed out the dusty rose carped.

What did you use for baseboard in your trailer??

Thanks
Menno.

We Used quarter round molding. Fits perfectly under the cabinets. Love it. I am installing peel and stick flooring in the bathroom as soon as it is dried out.

Another to add to the list of completed mods. I needed a place to mount the American flag that we like to put out on or camper. On the old PUP, I mounted the bracket to the battery box since having the front storage trunk made the battery forward enough for the flag pole to clear the front bunk.

On the new HTT, this wouldn't work and since I wanted the flag on the front, I needed another plan. My first idea was to mount some sort of L-bracket to a spare 2" ball and mount the flag bracket to that, but this was easier and always mounted, so one less thing to carry and put up each time.

I decided a good place would be the tongue jack.
I purchased a #5 conduit hanger at HD for around $2.00 and bolted the flag bracket to that. There was also a little tab on the flag bracket that was in the right place to bend over and crimp to the conduit holder. This gives it a little more strength, and will keep the flag bracket from turning if the bolt ever loosened at all.

New mounting bracket painted black to match the trailer tongue.

Flag bracket installed - Does not interfere with cranking the jack or get too close to my hand.

Great idea! Last Memorial weekend I didn't have anywhere to hang our flag, now I will have one!
