Added LED lighting. Stripped the failing white paint from the aluminum bumper and steps. Researching how to recoat. Love the LED tube lights. Rewired the fixtures bypassing the ballast. Went with m4 and natural white. like it alot. All inside lighting is now LED and the outside porch lights too. I do not see any loss in illumination.
The paint was a pain to remove. Its as if Lance did not etch the aluminum before the originally painted it. So consequently the rubber that was glued to it came up.

Changed the alignment of the passenger side Atwood jack dually swing out. When I took the TC off and on yesterday I noticed it was a degree or so inside of vertical when lifting. Now it is straight perpendicular to the ground when deployed.

Had the same issue with the Lance I sold. I used Zinzer stripper to pull the old paint off (safe on aluminum) and then washed it real well with strong derergent and my pressure washer, let it dry amd mist coated it with zinc chromate primer and top coated it with Rustoleum gloss white. Mine was coming off in strips as well. Very poor prep on the part of Lance.

Finished re - caulking exterior with 3-M 4000 UV white for all compartments and horizontal seam of clamshell. Used Boat Life-Life Seal in clear for lights,awnings,door,furnace and hot water heater. Bigfoot factory caulk was fairly good after almost 10 years, but it was time. A lot of work,hope it lasts another 10 years!

Haven't seen any posts here in a long time. So here is what I did to our camper yesterday. Have always wanted to carry our Bicycles on the camper and have already used the front Stinger idea for a Ham Radio antenna so here is what I did using the Yakima RPL BOA Wheel Tray and the YAKIMA BLOCKHEAD.[image][image][image]

I bought another trailer to tow behind truck and camper to haul junk in

And I installed a Torsion Axle Lift kit on it.
