Power cycled DC so In-Command would link up again.

Exercised the generator for 2 hours.

Added fuel stabilizer to the fuel station tanks

Lubed folding steps

I added a little wooden box that matches the interior color of the trailer for small misc. stuff.....note pad, pens, small flashlight, and four small hooks on the bottom of it for hanging keys on. Then I installed a 12" fan on the bedroom wall to help with air circulation. The bedroom wall was prewired with a recpt. and cable tv outlet, so I just used the ceiling recpt for the fan since we don't have or want a TV in the bedroom. The fan can oscillate or not, depending on your preference. I also added some Command strip hooks for hanging a couple of coats/jackets, as well as a couple of robe hooks in the bedroom. Nothing major, just little items of convenience.

Last Weekend = Laid sand and paver blocks to park on (only have had them in the backyard for two years now).

Past Week = Wash and Wax (one step). Lubed steps. Talked to it.

Today = Exercise genny. Wipe level up tubes with silicon. Talk to it more.

This Week = HOPEFULLY take it for a ride to a CG for a few days.

I did it on my 2011 North Trail and 2019 Cougar. Just make sure you have all of the tape and adhesives before you start and it is pretty easy. Use plastic scrapers and go slowly when getting the old stuff up so you don't puncture the roof.

How did the membrane come loose from the adhesive. I am worried about tearing the membrane.

Beautiful day here in East Tennessee and I gave mine a bath and made it all shiny by waxing it. Getting ready to head over near Myrtle Beach to Carrollwoods CG in Tabor City NC.

what do you use to wax? We have some oxidation and haven't found any semi easy way to shine it up

Started loading all or at least some of the things I had in my old toy haulers into my new one. Looking for places to put things.

I put white ones on our black trimmed trailer too, figured the black would be hot in the summer.

I just did the same thing. Except I had to also replace the plastic track that the LED light goes into because it was all warped. It was a much harder job than I had anticipated. I had to remove the entire awning cover in order to slide out the old track and slide in the new one, which was not a very easy job! I'm super happy with the results though because the new LED strip (aftermarket from Amazon) is way brighter than the original one that came on the trailer. It also has a super thick gel like casing around the lights for improved waterproofing.

Do you have a link to the one you used? I'm wanting to add a strip light, but even the "waterproof" LED strips just seem to have been dunked in very thin silicone. I'm liking that yours has a thick cover.
Thanks for any info!

That looks good! Guess I'm lucky that all I had to do was slide the old strip out of the track and slide the new one in.
