What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Yesterday I bought a pair of golf cart batteries at Sam's Club to replace and upgrade the deceased house battery. That's a bit of a drive, being on the other side of Lake Champlain from me.
I worked on a project of rebuilding the house battery holder underneath the entry steps. The original holder (welded up out of angle iron) from Coachmen was in perfectly usable condition, but the design lacked about an inch or so of clearance to permit golf cart batteries to be used. I cut and ground away the bits I needed to in order to put on a modified setup with deeper angle irons on the bottom. For the life of me I don't really understand why the factory didn't just lower it a bit more (or alternately provide for more clearance above, which could have been done by slightly rerouting an LP line and a few wires etc.). It sure would have saved me a bit of effort.
Tomorrow I should be able to drill and bolt everything together. Tuesday I'll head out for a few days of camping.
Yes, I did know the tray would need modification when I bought the batteries. :B
I also need to tape or wire or velcro up the electrical connector underneath the passenger seat that is the source of the occasional annoying clank as it hits against the seat supports. It took me some time to discover what was causing that noise; it sounded something like an aluminum can stuck underneath something and getting crushed periodically, though of course there was obviously no can in the area. (I mention this mainly in case someone else has a similar annoying sound from the same cause.)
