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

I'll start...

I installed Interior LED puck lights and a 12v power outlet.

This is a mod I added. I do not now have to "kneel & bow" to the sacred dump connection on my Lance 1050S. It is very rigid. I used ABS glue to connect the extension to the clear plastic elbows, but not to the fitting on the Lance.

I took mine for a stroll from NC to N. Myrtle Beach and picked up old US 17 all the way down to Savannah for an overnight then proceeded down hwy 17 to Jacksonville, Fl and picked up US 1 down the coast to Ft Pierce for an over night then I-95 to Miami/Weston for an overnight down to Key West. On the way back to Miami proceeded through Alligator Alley to Naples to Cedar Key for an overnight and started back home through Gainesville, Fl via US 301 to Jacksonville and I-95 home to NC. Six great days of slow traveling and site seeing. Brought a fair share of love bugs that will all be washed off tomorrow

Not today, but next week the truck and TC go to my daughter and son in law. They are excited about getting it and driving it to Michigan. My days of travel for now are done and it will be good to see the family take over where I am leaving off. It has been a fun journey since 1966 when I used my first trailer to tow. A low of changes have occurred and the future for RVing still looks bright to me.

Finished the fluid change on the truck, washed her up so she's pretty again and finished wiring in the tranny temp gauge last night. Truck's ready for the road, minus some cosmetic repairs to the passenger side fender, which I'll be doing this evening or tomorrow.

Monday, I take her over to replace the windshield with it's giant U crack in it.

I'm in the process of adding inflation extensions to the inside dually tires (thus far I haven't found a product that will fit my truck) and a TPMS (tire pressure monitor system) both in an effort to keep a close eye on the condition of my tires.

pulled the truck out from under the TC and washed it, then I cut another section of horse stall mat to cover every inch of the bed for the TC to set on. Put the TC back on and installed some hooks on two cabinets that continually pop open much to my annoyance. The lower one always swung open and blocked the view out the back door when driving in heavy traffic just to really piss me off lol.
