Time to bump the thread!
Burlmart - Thanks for sharing. Your redecorating looks nice as well as being quite useful.
Update on the 2001...
I changed to synthetic oil and replaced the fuel filter on my 2001 5.7L.
Replaced the twin pull out sofas with 10" memory foam cut to 32" width.
Traveled with my cousin to the Dayton Hamvention, staying at a rest stop one night, then across the street from the Arena where there is parking in a field. The Trail-Lite performed like a champ! My average MPG for the trip was slightly less than 12.
I've been reviewing the previous posts and have been trying to figure out how to SECURELY mount a second battery under the MH. The current configuration has a tray that is showing signs of rust. I can squeeze 2 batteries width-wise into the tray, but have doubts about that tray holding ~120 plus lbs for very long. Wiring and replacing are also issues with that location. I might end up putting one or both batteries inside the unit - but cutting vent holes gives me pause!
Nevertheless, these are puzzles that will be solved.
Still think these units are holding up nicely for their age...
All for now!
