My new locks came today. Replaced all the CH751 locks with tubular keyed locks like this.

Nice upgrade, but instead of the locks that use the bulky barrel style key (which are annoying in my pocket) I bought some to match my door lock.

Here are the new legs installed.

Legs in the jacks, or did you replace the entire jack unit?

Bought some eternabond tape, and once the weather warms up going to tape the roof to nose cap seam.Doesn't leak on our Lance, but every time I am up on the roof, I keep looking at the seam and think how horrible to have a leak develop there.

I did the same thing on my 1998 Bigfoot 30C10.11F after I replaced the roof. I applied it right over the screw strips, front and back. The previous owner had failed to keep up with the maintenance and I ended up having to replace some plywood at the rear of the camper. Dicor is fast, inexpensive and easy to apply, but the ongoing maintenance is a hassle. Eternabond takes longer and is more expensive, but should pay off in the long run.

Washed the Bigfoot since it was plenty dirty from the trip to Tulsa. Masked off the ends of the side awning and rattle canned that old yellow plastic with Krylon Fusion Satin White. What the heck, did the back porch light and the license plate light too. Love that stuff.
