During this downtime, I decided to buy a few things for the FW, some were things I've been wanting/needing for years.
Adjustable water pressure gauge.
50a to 110v dogbone, just 'cause.
50a 90 degree dogbone. It's a Camco and I got it from Tweety's. They were out of stock nearly everywhere, but in the end, Tweety's was OOS, too. Took 3 months to finally get it delivered.
110v voltage meter.
12v voltage meter.
Next up will be some big mods. 2nd A/C and MorRyde pin box are the 2 big ones.

Good idea to just get things like that. Better to have and not need than need and not have.
I kinda did the same thing-something I have been meaning to do for a while- I completely reorganized the basement and Ft storage & freed up a bunch of space. So next trip out it will be like a new coach.

The down time let me do the disk brake upgrade. I also had time to trouble shoot the leveling and clean the basement. Next is going to be pulling a new coax to the living room as I'm still getting intermittent signal loss.

You're right, Chuck! Totally forgot that one! Not sure I'll add the X-braces yet. Maybe as we start traveling more. What I'd =really= like is a Comfort Ride shock/slipper spring system. :-) Lyle |

What I'd =really= like is a Comfort Ride shock/slipper spring system. :-) Lyle I added two X-braces in addition to the one X-brace that came with the MorRyde SRE4000 suspension, one in the middle
of the suspension one each attached to the spring hangers, no more cracking an popping when sharp backing or turning ...
But I don't care if it's LCI or MorRyde the wet bolts are a must !!! I like MorRyde because they provide a little thicker
shackle hangers from what I have saw, but that been over a year ago so LCI may have improved their product to keep up with MorRyde ... Seems like when one brings out a product the other soon flows with their own version of what ever it is, example steps, wet bolts, sliding trays for storage's etc ...

MorRyde it is. I do my level best to stay away from LCI products whenever possible. Lyle |

I agree, MoRyde makes a great product, the OEM LCI parts wore out in short order & LCI told me too bad, they wouldn't even send me bushings.

I keep wondering if the SEC is ever going to look at the RV industry. Look how much of the industry LCI, Lemonis, and the Big 3 manufacturers each control. Collusion? Nah, never even think about it. BTW, I've got some nice beachfront property in Gila Bend that I can make you a great deal on. Lyle |

As we all know the bushings in us that have changed out such didn't last long as the should, maybe for those that don't travel thousands of miles a year they may last a few years... But as you an I know along with a few others things wore out very fast, way more faster than they should have, I was shocked when they showed me mine after only a little over year an half with 10k miles on it ...

MorRyde SRE4000 and a single cross member with shackle & wet bolts. (Put the zerks to the outside and you don't have to crawl under to grease)

Edd I have mine to the inside so I have to crawl under the trailer, but it's well worth it, I also carry a small grease gun an a extra tube of grease ... I did that so I could take a nap an the DW thinks I'm doing something while I'm under there as long as I don't snore  very loud

Just hope there's no dogs running around. Had a buddy working under his truck, sort of, and a neighbor's dog came by and pissed on his feet sticking out. :-) Lyle |
