I saw these threads in some of the other Open Roads RV Forums, but didn't see one for TCs.

I have a long list for my new to me SunLite. I just finished swapping out the G27 battery for a G31 Trojan. Added a battery meter and 12 volt receptacle.

Next on the list is convert the closet to shelves and build a bed spacer/basement so it clears my tall Ford cab.

Replaced the OEM solar plug on the roof with a new solar panel combiner box from AM Solar. I've ordered a couple 60 watt panels and will need the combiner box for the additional inputs.

Replaced the two big O-Rings on the kitchen faucet's main post and stopped the little leak that was present when the faucet was opened all the way. $2.79 and 15 minutes. Life is good.

Check over my sealing job in depth today, after letting it sit uncovered in the deluge that we got on Sunday. Not a drip or a drop inside and the seal job looks great.

Today I found that the short on the 110v circuit was caused by a screw from a new awning rail I fitted------not, as I thought, from a fixing bolt from new roof box !!!! So I isolated one power outlet, now everything (except that one outlet) working fine.
I also fitted another 240v outlet----European electrics are 220v/240v-----------but we use 110v to run laptops, cameras, mobile phones etc.--------------------------I am happy with progress today

Repaired a rotted wing, and then covered the new wood with aluminum flashing material. It will never get wet and rot again. Why doesn't the factory do them this way? Duhhhhh

Took cabinet door off to replace mirror I broke when I leaned against it while installing light. Sweep the bench after removing frame from almost perfect replacement that was 8" to long. Laid the door out, marked mirror. Using top of door to support mirror (flatter than my bench)scored width of glass to within 1/4" of edge when door rocked causing me to roll cutter off edge-snap.

Cleaning up glass discoverd one of the felt pads had fallen off & got under door. After some thought Recut mirror & reinstalled the frame after trimming. Installed new mirror on door. Now Im designing a small shelf to sit on lower part of door under new mirror -
thats 8" to short....
