What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???

This is always a fun thread to watch so I thought I would start one here.

Just got my rig out of storage and parked on the street in front of the house. Filled and primed the water system, must have winterized her good last fall because there are no leaks. Took the broken cheap plastic medicine cabinet out of the bathroom and replaced with a towel bar to hang bathroom travel bags on as well as a fancy swivel pivoting mirror so the wife can see to flop her hair around in. Solars charging, hot water heater is heating, fridge is cooling and genny is producing power so all is well. Headed to the woods on Friday, can't wait. Do need to change the genny oil but that can wait until I get to the camping area so I don't have to lay on the blacktop hoping some dumb driver dosn't run me over on the street.

My wife and I are in NE Oregon.

Here is the view from the deck.

And a nice rig on a nice site.

Haven't done it yet, but I got the part for my next project:

Installed MaxxFan in front bedroom, installed Bullseye Leveling System. Both work great.

We packed the toyhauler so that we can leave in the morning. 1 week off work to relax and ride the Victory.

The refrigerator handles a weeks worth of food easily.

I bought a new to me 2007 Fleetwood Nitrous Hyperlite M-260 FS. I also sold my 2000 Aljo TT about 45 minutes after I bought the toy hauler! Win win!

At least they're standing behind it and not giving you a huge runaround. Hope it turns out well.

I heard the motors can get out of sync if you don't fully open or close the slide with that type of mechanism. There is supposed to be a procedure to get them all moving together again but it can happen again. Did yours actually flex or skip gears?

This damage happened in a Camping World shop

All the above..............bent the outriggers also due to weight. Just a poorly designed system, Residential Fridge (23 cu ft) is way to heavy for the system. The brain trust at Jayco is replacing all the motors with 500:1 vs 300: 1 and adding more outriggers. Also increasing the bottom rollers to 6 vs 3.

In the meantime we cancel our Alaska trip............

That doesn't look good.

Been 4 weeks now, canceled our trip to Alaska. Camping World has been no help at all. Had go directly to Jayco for assistance. This happened in their shop, thankful it didn't happen boondocking some where!

Jayco is going to replace all the motors with 500:1 vs 300:1, add 3 more rollers and more outriggers.

Started the install of LED's under the awning, will finish it up tonight.

I've wanted to do this, as well as install LED lighting under the RV for function & "ambiance." If you can, post up pics of your install & how you routed your wiring. I'm trying to decide if a multi-color strip under the awning is desirable and whether to just tie the wiring into the porch light or pull it into the switch panel inside the door.

I'll post some photos. I'm wiring it into the main distribution panel via wireless remote, wire routed through cabinet. I chose just white to see how I like it. This stuff is so cheap, I think I'm into it for $25.00 in materials and about 3 hours install when its done.

Came out pretty slick, I'll take some photos this weekend when I'm set up at my son's.
