Yep, you need to send these pics to Lance. You also need to open up a separate thread on this. This thread really isnt suitable.

Started servicing the Happi-Jac electric jacks. They are 8 years old, and in pretty good shape internally. A few rock chips on the legs. So I am re-lubing, sanding and painting. Here are the picts from the rear jacks, 4150's.

The end of the lead screw.

I used a short extension on a cordless drill to run the lead screw in and out as I lubed it with waterproof wheelbearing grease.

The tube just above the end bearing. There is a seal there that keep moisture out.

I added a fan to my bathroom vent. Bought the fan from a thrift store for $3 and a wall switch from Home Depot for 69 cents. I modified the switch by first applying superglue to the switch plastic seams before filing off the crimped brass rivets so the metal body used to screw-attach the switch to an outlet box could be removed. The metal body was in the way. Now I had just the plastic switch body and switch. I spliced into the pre-wired 12 volts tucked back up under the vent cover, and cable tied the fan to the vent between the screen and the brace bar. DONE!

Installed programable thermostat. I'm going to try it out this week, Looking forward to getting up to a warm camper, and bathroom.

I added a little battery operated light in my camper.
For some reason, Lance does not have a light switch at the door of the camper, forcing me to climb up in the dark and walk in to the light switch. This little light attaches via a little disc of metal attached to the wall and a magnet in the light, making it easy to remove. The light as a day/night sensor as well as a motion/body heat sensor. After dark, if it senses a heat source or movement, it will light up. The LED's are able to be aimed; either down to where your feet are going, or up to highlight the light switch you are searching for.
I put a second disc of metal on the outside of the camper. When I head out after dark, I put this on the the second disc which is by the stairs and it lights up my steps. I'd just leave a second light outside, but I don't think this is a waterproof light.
