    I came on here looking for ideas for my raptor. I was looking at installing an led strip in the awning but the wiring is a little tough to do without being seen. So I thought of running lights underneath. I haven't seen any pics until now. Thanks to the OP.

    It's an onboard, so I can't exactly lose it, and being an onboard, it's so loud you can barely hear the dang TV with it on. I think Onan was making jokes when they named it a micro quiet.


    +1. My feelings exactly about the so called "Microquiet" rattle box. Installing a 300W inverter was the best thing I ever did.

    I like fishing rod holder idea. I never thought of mounting one but I like the place closet the floor by the happijac lift. It's mostly dead space right there anyways so why not.

    All jokes aside one needs to run a generator once per month to 6 weeks under load (AC or any good electoral draw) for at lest 30 mins. to one hour or when a time comes that you really need it, it want run.

    Sweet mods. We have a 2013 powerlite 19cbxl. We did some mods too. I'll post them up when I get on my tablet. For the fishing rods I installed two 4inch square fence post under the TH, I keep 3 surf rods in there maybe one for the kayak too.


    That would be sweet, I'd love to see them! We have a few 9' surf rods but they break down. I do want to do the whole fence post sewer pipe mod but the whole underbelly of our trailer is all sealed up so I'll have to find an anchor point somewhere.

    Thanks guys! The wine and rod holders were definitely my favorite/most purposeful mods so far :) lighting was the most difficult/frustrating being that I have zero electrical experience. But now I have a whole new list of things I want to tweak... Thanks to this forum, I don't think that list will ever get shorter.
