My Utility Mods

I don't like to spend a lot of time hooking up and unhooking, so I made these modifications:
1: Telescoping sewer perminately attached. No touching the bad stuff, only road grime.
2: 12 volt 50amp cord reel. Reels in cord in 30 sec. Attached to ceiling to allow storage underneath
3: Purchased hose reel from big box store and cut an access hole in the floor. Allows me to pull ony as much hose as needed. Other end is always hooked up to city water connection.
4: I came off the high pressure end right after the propane tank with a "T", gas valve, yellow gas flex hose, iron pipe, additional gas valve and fitting and cap. This allow me to hook up any propane appliance without modifications. I usually use a "T" at the end to hook up a stove and grill.

Looks great, just one question, is the sewer line adjustable? Some trips I only need 10 feet of hose and others I need 30 depending on where the sewer pipe is, can yours be adjustable for that?

Check out http://www.ezekleensystem.com/. It is telescoping. It works great. I bought an extra section to able to reach half the length of my TH.

fighting my power cord in and out of that silly little mouse hole port makes me REALLY like your power cord reel mod. I wonder if I have room in my Laredo for that? Guess I'll have to pull the cover off the mouse hole to see what's behind it.

I really like the power cord reel. I have a water hose reel already, one of my best mods.
