Second, I replaced my 15 year old Air Safe 25K hitch with a Roadmaster Comfort Ride model 245. I had been having issues with air leaking from the old hitch and the new model uses air cells so I no longer have to add air. The other negative was that with air in the old hitch and when unhitched, it was not possible to close the tonneau cover so each time I prepped for a trip I had to break out the compressor and air it up. No more! I took a short pull with the RV and am very pleased so far.

Nice setup.

Replaced the cheap two bit kitchen faucet that I couldn't stop from leaking (no replacement parts available) with a household style. Also cut off the plastic connectors on the PEX and replaced with Sharkbite 1/4 turn valves.

I actually lost some storage space due to the cord reel. Used to just throw the coiled up cord on top of everything else already in there. This will be easier though.

For the EMS, I simply went to Home Depot and bought a 50a receptacle built into its own box, and then mounted that on the wall (no wires or anything attached). I can just “plug” the EMS into it and it will ride there since the slots are very tight.

Very nice! Did you make the oversize door, or find it?

Interesting, must be a universal medicine cabinet. Ours looks the same but was installed with the open shelf at the top. Curious to know which of our cabinets was installed upside down?

I just googled bathroom pictures and it seems about 50/50 even on the same models. Maybe they do that to see which one gets the most complaints.....market research!

With the door handle in the center my guess would be one universal cabinet for a right or left hand hinge to fit the space.

Winterized mine over the weekend. All done for the year. Just need to back it up 5 feet or so.

Upside down would solve the "too high" issue. We have the same cabinet in our Monty with mirror on top and have also commented that it's a little high. Fortunately neither of us is vertically challenged but the design seems pretty short sighted (pun intended).

Nice, did you order that MorRdye reel from?



I also blow my lines but I didn't put in no anti-freeze in it yet, I'm waiting to see if we are going to take it out one more time, probably not so next week or so I will be doing that.
