I looked at the website for the Trik-L-Start. What a cool gizmo. It senses when the house battery is being charged, and diverts a little of the charging current to the chassis battery. $50 shipped, and would be easy to connect at the disconnect box.
Today I dealt with an issue that I saw mentioned way back in the early days of this thread. Namely, an improperly installed dinette. It turns out it's not that hard to get it right. Makes me shake my head at what was happening in the factory.
I have to look at the sofa too. The base is skewed out of square sideways compared to the seat. It looks like another installation snafu. I'm not sure if it is a quick fix or not. In any event I'm pretty sure the sofa is going to be replaced by a 32" bed. Not right away, because I've still got some basic things to work on.
Oh, also someone mentioned the floor collapsed in their kitchen cabinet. Same here. I tried injecting some expanding foam to prop it up, as was proposed in the original discussion. It worked so-so. I ended up gluing the loose floor edge up in place with epoxy thickened with sawdust. Being thick, I could shove it into the gap, then fillet over it. (Like a bead of caulk.)
