Add blocks, wooden or the lego type stackable, under the jacks then level. Repeatedly trying to level without blocks under the jacks will only keep giving you the out of stroke message, they only extend so far. Once you have it leveled to your liking, look up the recalibration procedure either online or in your manuals & recalibrate the system.

Yesterday, I installed Apexstone gas struts to the flip up cupboards and the Camco sunscreen covers to the doors.

In the last week I installed a PI EMS, Furrion detachable power cord, Maxx air vent covers, spice racks, coat rack, key rack, beverage holders for coffee (cup holders on theater seats only accommodate glasses for adult drinks), rewired bathroom fan to run with light, oxygenics shower head and more command hooks than I can count.

Finally installed a 12v circuit in the pass-through and used it to power a light I added as well as the tpms booster.

I then installed a hatch to allow easier access to the water heater bypass.Click image for larger version

Lubed my wet bolts and wheel bearings today in preparation for our first spring trip next Thursday. Hope to wash the roof and drain and sanitize the fresh water system tomorrow.

I installed the batteries in our Cougar yesterday, checked the tire pressure and all the electrical systems. It's still a "tad bit too chilly" to dewinterize the water system.

Since the weatherman "predicted" (guessed) that we were in for "an inch or two" of snow today, I planned to leave the Cougar in the pole barn until Thursday or Friday. Well, as luck would have it, I just finished plowing 6-7 inches of wet, heavy snow. It's "guessed" that we'll have rain tonight with possible thunderstorms, so I suppose the Cougar is "better off inside" than out in the snow, ice, rain and high winds..... The roads are a mess, they've sanded, salted and "mudded" every paved road in Otsego County this afternoon, so our Cougar "ain't gonna be drug on that mess"....

So much for parking it beside the house and loading it for a pending departure......

I upgraded my tires to LRD Goodyear Endurance and I ordered the progressive industries 30amp hardwired EMS protection. Both of those have been on my to do list for quite awhile. It is nice having the piece of mind that the tires are good and should not fail and the electrical system is protected.

The pass through storage organization looks good.

Trying to make the most of it. Previously had the whole thing filled only 6" deep. I can do better

The second one was my inspiration, the first picture is my trailer.

I used a can of spray foam and went under the trailer and filled the spaces where the tubes go into the floor to help keep out bugs, etc.

What is the product name for that hatch? I remember seeing it on another post but can't find it.

I used the 6" of this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076TJC9R6/

Just search for boat hatches and find one to your liking. They are typically a marine product. I cut the hole for mine with a dremel cutting bit and then cleaned it up to make sure the hatch wasn't getting pinched (made opening it impossible) with a sanding wheel bit.

Went and got it out of the storage building, which is an indoor horse arena the other six months of the year. More minor mods start tomorrow.

I received my new EMS unit from progressive industries and got it installed. The installation was straight forward and went smoothly. It’s nice having the piece of mind knowing the trailer’s electronics are protected.

I finished de-winterizing the water system, purged the gas lines, and checked all the systems.
