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

Interesting, I can't imagine it would do anything for a heavy TC like mine. Can you tell any difference?

yes, big difference, I can walk into the back with no sway at all, feels very stable, we have the extended cabover also.

Finished dewinterizing, added a simple board held with magnets to serve as a cheap stovetop cover, made a 2-rung rope ladder to allow us to reach the first ridiculously high (shoulder high) step of our back ladder, started loading up linens and tools for 1st quick trip this season: 3 nights at Assateague Island NP this week.

Installed this.14.4 V at the battery when the engine is running! Battery recovery should no longer be an issue.

Installed a new fridge vent cover and ordered a new AC shroud.
The sun killed both of them. 😞
Got it ready to load on the truck.
Probably in the morning when the wind dies down.

My new locks came today. Replaced all the CH751 locks with tubular keyed locks like this.

Pretty easy to swap out and they sure operate more smoothly. I did forget to order the locks for the bumper storage compartment. DOH!

Here you go.
