Now I just need it to stop raining so I can finish de-winterizing, fill the FW tank and check for leaks.

This could be a great Thread. Why the accumulator tank, why this size, why this brand, advantages, are their other tanks and if so from where.

With an in depth discussion, there is a lot that can be learned on this subject.

This would be great as a stand alone Thread, including a "how to". Could have been very informative for this Thread: installing 12v outlets. Obvious questions is why the Blue Sea 360 12v Panel, a source for the panel, and how was it wired.

I already did, Wayne. [emoticon]

I may be mistaken, but I think you responded to a Thread someone started on this subject, not start a thread. There is a big difference in my opinion. I do not see where you stated anything other than a "one liner". I sure do not see much in the way of details.

Consider: "I installed a Blue Sea 360 12v Panel in my TC. The details can be seen here on this Thread "xxxxx"". A very specific Thread, with details, and a discussion unique to the subject.

At this point, the TC is still sitting snugly in the neighbor's storage building. We can't get it out until the other 3 RVs get removed. One was removed today.

But we still have some things to do to ours anyway.

We finally ordered the Happi jac swing out extensions. Hopefully, that will add some more distance between the fenders.

We have to install the baffle behind the fridge. Hopefully, that will fix our thermofuse blowing issue. It was sent to us from Dometic. Will let you know if it works.

DH has to tear apart one of the jacks that is so loud it's embarrassing. They were sent back to HJ and "fixed", but 1 is still slipping.

Here's to a season of relaxing camping! I wonder when it will happen. Will keep you posted.

I installed a Midland handheld 40 channel CB radio inside the cab of the truck with a 4 foot Firestick antenna mounted on the left front fender. Also installed a hand rail inside the TC,near the side entry door. Removed two lead acid batteries and installed one Odyssey 12V AGM battery, replaced broken Pollak disconnect push pull switch and one 40 Amp circuit breaker.

I FINALLY took out the nasty aluminum blinds in the bedroom area of the cabover. Then I fabricated drapery rods to install custom made black out drapes on that match the ones I had made for the dinette area and front window last year.

Happy!

Gonna remove the gigantic decals on the rear, front cap and sides. Not to mention, Northwood isn't paying me a dime to advertise their product.
I don't mind the black/maroon colored swooshes and stripes though.

Anyone that's ever had to pay for advertising knows how expensive it is. Line graphics are one thing but outright, rolling billboard style advertising is another. Really should be an option IMO.

Maybe I'm a little paranoid but there's also the fact that the oversized wolfs head on the front and rear resembles a giant target. No thanks

I'll post some before and afters photos.
