Hi Goldencrazy,
You should not think that gaining pressure should be drained off in your tires... pressure is always measured cold, and when warm and rolling they should be even but who knows at what pressure. I bet it gets pretty high...never had the nerve to step outside when I was in Palm Desert or something like that... it was 117F in the shade... who would want to check tires...LOL
Charles, the first addition I did to this MH was to put spring struts on my dinette plywood hinged seat covers. The pieces didn't have any method to keep them in the up position while I loaded in the wine, so the struts went on, one to each, and now they come up, and stay up... nice. The upper cupboards over the dinette have two struts each, one each side, but the thin one over the microwave didn't have one. The smallest size they had at the RV store was just a bit too big to fit... I added a block just inside the lower inside framework of the cupboard and gained the extra 1/2 inch of distance so now the DW is soooo happy. It's now her favorite cupboard for all kinds of things because it stays open. Just sheer luck that the handle stopped short of the ceiling by about 1/8 inch...
I had the Quik Fill battery filling system already installed on this motorhome when we bought it... no battery slide out or drop down tray, but the filling system sure does make it easy. Little float valves cut off the filling precisely when at the correct level, and no matter how much I squeeze the bulb, no more goes in.
I like the idea of a tire monitoring system...anybody tried this?
Nice to swap stories with you guys... before this we had a Snowbird camper that I extensively modified inside. Just sold it two weeks ago... on to bigger things...
