Nomad, I mounted the tv to the divider wall. Behind the wall there was a receptacle that the inverter was connected to. I plugged the tv into that receptacle. I ran the cable wire to the other side where you connect the water hose. I connected the cable wire to the satellite port. Attachments:

I found the hose real on Amazon. Open box return for 80.00. You have to unroll the power cable all the way but it is easy to use and gets the cord out of the way. It’s only mounted by 2 screws on the back but is very sturdy. I will probably figure out a direr this way to mount at some point. Attachments:

I installed the lights on a aluminum channel with double sided tape just below the awning. The wiring went through the same spot as the power for the awning.i had to drill a hole through the wall. It came out behind the pantry. I found where the ran the gas line for the rifrigerator. I pulled the wire down the same spot and along the frame of trailer up into the garage area. On the controller you will see where it says light. That wire went to the front cap light. I never used that light so I connected the new awning lights to that spot. Hope this makes sense. |

I cleaned up the rounded corners since the photos were taken. Installed new cushions as well. So much better |

A word to the warning, on some Kz 5th wheels like the G384RLT slide toppers will not fit over the door side of the camper do to the windows being to high an thus the awning for that slide gets in the way of attaching such to that slide ... Check you clearances before you invest in any slide topper on any slide  Nice work cloud  Safe Travels |

Cloud, Also did you put the rear hitch on or have a place weld one? Any pictures of that  I ordered mine from factory with pre-wired but they wouldn't actually put the hitch on - ugh and now they apparently do - so frustrating! |

Mine came with the cargo rack also. I put one of the bumper hitch mounts on. I have all the material to beef up the hitch but just haven’t got around to doing it so far. I only pull the wave runner when we go to the lake up the road a few miles. Any farther and my son brings it with his truck.
My plan is to weld a piece of square tubbing on to the back of the hitch running front to back of the trailer about 12” long. Then I will run another pice of tubbing from side to side and bolt it onto the frame just in front of where the cargo rack is bolted on.
You could just cut the exiting bumper off and weld a heavy piece of 4x4 to the frame and weld a receiver hitch to that. Not sure how much weight your thinking
