Made my own cargo tray. Through 2017 these HC's came with a cargo tray. In 2018 they went to the 2" receiver. I unbolted that, and using the same attachment made a cargo tray system. I went to the local steel yard, started cutting, welding, and painting. It went together well and is very solid.

Nice job, looks good. I'm planning on doing the same thing to mine. I carry two spare tires and I just mounted one under the tongue off the battery mount. Came out alright.

Installed a Haloview RDS. I also resealed the roof. I installed a mount for a spare tire under the tongue.

I replaced my extremely rusty less than a year old stabilizers with four new ones my dealer sent to me.
I know the dealership went to bat for me, as they should, because I received them right from Keystone.
Unfortunately they are the exact same model but the screw drive looks different/better. Very smooth compared to the originals. And of course they're rust free!

While they're still new and shiny, you may consider painting them with several coats of clear spray paint. It may help them last a bit longer.

Brought my travel trailer home, removed rear camera and wiring. Time to get it ready for trade in, whenever dealer re-opens

Building an end table with magazine rack to fit between the living room chairs. Last coat of spar then add an electric / USB strip to the back.

Replaced the dead iRV33 with an aftermarket unit but repurposed the face plate to use the new head unit and an A/B switch since it did not have 3 speaker zones. Also swapped in a pair of kenwood coax speakers...
If anybody need iRV33 guts or remote, PM me soon before I toss them out.

You painted the fender skirts on your wife's nightstand????? You laid them on her nightstand to paint or her nightstand has fender skirts?
Sorry but it would read better with a bit of puncuation.

I thought the wife's side of the bed has fender skirts that inadvertently got painted when he was painting the nightstand. "Punctuation" is just as important as spelling right Danny?

Removed some of the upgrades I put into trailer. Finished adding screws and caps on slide motor access trim, installed sound proofing foam in water pump cubby, de-winterized water system, checked fridge / ice cold, furnace/toasty. I also worked on removing the clear silicone I sealed the raceway with for the rear camera on the back wall, I used a 3" plastic scraper/goof off/ and a 3M blue scrubbing sponge, came out good. In future, the adhesive on the raceway was good enough. I am leaving behind the P/I ems and the oxygenics shower/wasn't impressed by it.

No upgrades on the new trailer here, but;

I'm just about finished washing then "washing/waxing" with this Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All (2 days when I'm motivated ). Read about it here on the forum and I will say that I really like the way it goes on and off. As for UV protection, who knows...but it sure shines! I had been using 303 and it does a great job but it was very hard to remove the film and we spent a lot of time trying to get it where there were no residue marks - and that was applying it to a cloth sparingly and wiping it down - DW did not have good thoughts for me . We're going to try this for a while...and, DW is HAPPY!! (Yes, she is my partner when we jump into these kinds of projects). Now to get the TPMS on, rear view camera installed and whatever else I have sitting in there in boxes. I did install the MorRyde power cable reel a couple of days ago and we love it. (Maybe a couple of those are upgrades. )

Edit: Clarification - that would be reel for the power cable.

I strolled over to the pole barn to check on the slingshot and the cougar. No "mouse/rat/chipmunk damage" that I could see. It's time to get the slingshot out, check the tire pressure and head "into the sunset"... Only trouble is, the "guvner" has set up checkpoints in every direction, so if I leave, I might not get back home.... Maybe I'll wait a week, weather forecast (if you can believe them any more) is predicting rain/snow/sleet for the next 5 days starting tonight. Oh well, it was nice to get a little "outside walking in the sunshine" this afternoon. I honestly don't know what we'd do if we didn't have the "snowglobe" room on the back of the house. It's like sitting outside while having all the comforts of inside"... Sure makes winter more tolerable...
