Nice Photog101. I used two arms to allow my to store the TV, but allow positioning it so it can be seen anywhere in the TC.

Installed switches for the propane and CO detectors so we can shut those vAMPires off when we're not using the camper. Northern Lite in their infinite wisdom decided to idiot proof the design so they could not be shut off. Used toggle switches with side guards. -Mark.

It is not only NL but all of the RVs that I have owned are set up the same way. I think there might be some rules against being able to shut them off with the battery disconnect. It could cause a problem.

Sadly just sold my first and only truck camper. It was a hard decision but with a kid and two big dogs we are going with a class B+ RV. A big thanks to all the members on here for their great advice, it really helped me when I bought my TC three years ago. I'll still be hanging out on this forum of course. My new rig: [image]

That thing is sweet !
Is it a 4x4 or just a straight
axle?

Just a stock E450 straight axle with an Action Van 4" lift, just wanted some ground clearance and didn't want to spend 15k to convert to 4x4

Ran another receptacle into my RV carport on the shore power side. Then made a 6'long shore power cord with a 15 amp standard plug on one end and a 30 amp female plug on the other end. Now I dont have to dig out the 30' long shore power cord every time I want to plug in. Convenience is the name of the game.
