  11. Install Haul Gauge In Truck and program
  12. Blackout USB Charging Jacks In Bedroom (Light-up jacks are too bright)
  13. Replace Interior Speakers
  14. Modify Outland Propane Fire Pit for use with the RV’s low pressure quick connect
  15. Quiet Down AC Unit (DW doesn't like how loud it is)
  16. Replace batteries in wireless LP gauges then reinstall (Pulled before going to storage)
  17. Paint sun faded LP Tank Cover black
I replaced my inside speakers and posted about it here

For the gas grill conversion I bought this quick connect kit and this quick connect host.

I also needed a 1/8 to 1/4 nipple to put the quick connect fitting on the grill, where the regulator used to attach and I removed the existing quick connect coupler on the camper, added a T and put both couplers on that, so I could have both the grill and outdoor kitchen cook-top connected at the same time.



I have since decided that I want the ability to use the original regulator and have ordered another quick connect coupler and a hose that connects the 1 lb bottle regulator to a standard propane tank (we are currently in temporary housing while ours is repaired from a water heater flood, while we were camping in CO last September and there is no workable gas grill here).

Edit: I completed the adapter here are some pics




I am going to do the same changes to our outdoor fire pit, but I might need a longer hose.

I like the idea of adding that "T" to the gas line! I may have to do that too...

As always, great work Mike!
How have you been matching the cabinet finish? I believe you said you purchased doors from Keystone or trekwood? I need to do get some doors for under the bed and to make slide out drawers under the dinette seating.
Mine is a 2013 and may be more of a cinnamon color than yours. I put some stock Home Depot cabinets in my closet at home and thinking they may be a decent match. I'll have to pull a door and take it out to the trailer.

The back shelf cleat I just used a dark walnut stain, but the shelf is a pre-finished shelves from Home Depot. They are a little darker than I prefer, but close enough. I have not had to buy any cabinet doors yet.

We have been going to a lot of RV shows lately and really love the homey feel the 5th wheels have, so I decided to borrow an idea from them and mount hanging pendant lights above our island. I like them much better than the small puck lights. Project is just starting...

Phase two of the Pendant light project:
All four puck lights in the living area were powered by the same switched circuit, so by swapping out the two center (over the island) lights with pendants, it did not allow the pendants lights to come on separate from the other two puck lights. It was an all or nothing setup.
So I replaced the remaining two puck fixtures with a fixture that has a center switch so I can keep them off unless I need the additional light. So by leaving them off, the switch at the control panel just turns on the pendant lights...

Those pendants look terrific! Sadly my puck lights do not line up over the island.

Phase three of the Pendant light project:

Received the used dinette light (eBay find), painted fixture black to match pendants, installed. DW loves the results and definitely makes it look more homey inside!

The pendant lights came with LED's installed, so now I just need to buy LED's for the dinette fixture which came with 921 bulbs.

Mike,

Could you tell us where you got the ottoman sitting upside down on your couch? I've been looking for one that matches and that appears too fit the bill.

We purchased them from Target. We bought two of them so we both can kick our feet up while sitting on the sofa. They open up for additional storage too!

Here is a better picture of them in place:

Painted the sun faded LP Tank Cover, just in time for the snow to start falling here in NY!
