- bullsnotExplorerI installed a central vac at the wife's request. I was worried it was a waste of money. I haven't used it out and about but the initial use on the side of the house has the concept growing on me.
Oh and I threw in a new water pump. The old one was leaking. Decided to get a little higher flow pump rather than do a repair kit. I didn't realize how much quieter this one would be! Happy day. - eDUBzExplorer

I have been spending more time in the TH just cleaning checking things out making sure everythings in order and tightend up, yesterday night i was just checking out where all the elctrical stuff was water pump, how to access things etc. Got to looking under the kitchen sink and looking at the faucet so i decided to change it out. Went to home depot like at 9:30pm got a new faucet with a pull down sprayer and new supply lines 2 sharkbite shut off valves cut the pex added sharkbite valves new supply lines and one new faucet-wala. Love it! Next is adding undersink mount soap dispenser. Also going to do the bathroom faucet now. - eDUBzExplorerFinished the install on the inverter cleaned up all the wires and did all the small stuff to make it look super clea . Crimped and soldered all the wires added heat shrink etc.
Heres the remote switch i added on the factory control panel, there was a bunk switch on the panel that wasnt in use since our th doesnt have bunks i just removed it cut a bigger hole for the inverter switch.

Mounted the inverter underneath our bed storage compartment.
All the wires crimped soldered and wire loomed +/- ground and the extension cord

Any pics? Have you towed with it yet?
Have yet to tow with it. But I am confident it will provide a better ride and make the rough roads less stressful on our rig.
Do not have any pics of the install process. Pretty much remove and replace. The OE pin box removal was an easy one person job. The TrailAir weighs at least twice the OE pin. Two to install. The old box has 12 bolt holes and the TrailAir has 18. I went overkill and purchased extra bolts. Left one bolt hole for the Break-away switch wiring. Used 3M dual lock (kind of like Velcro but better) to mount the switch.

- RUFFSTUFFExplorerOurs has a Trail Air box and I wouldn't have it any other way... It does make my trailer sit a little nose high but it's not a problem.

- VulcanmarsExplorerCleaned it out.
Signing it over to a new owner tomorrow. Wife is sad but she knows we will be looking for a new one soon. - RambinoExplorerInstalled a TrailAir Tri-Glide pin box
- qchunterExplorerYes, both ends have a hinged cap. It makes it easier to access. I also made a cage out of 1/2" pvc that holds my hose inside the tube. It should keep everything from moving around in there.
