I am going to figure out how to hang this from my awning when it is down.

Man! We gotta get you back to work or on the road. And soon! You're just a busy little beaver over there. Well, it's not the worst thing you could be doing with the spare time. I have been cooking a lot. Oh, and eating some as well. So yeah, I probably could stand to get back to work a little, soon. :oops:
But hey, looks great in there. As long as you are having fun, keep up the good work.

Thanks McDave. I'll say. Getting cabin fever. This didn't take long today. The table top is a piece of 16 inch wide shelving I cut to length (59.5" to fit in the cavity under bed platform) and then laminated the cut edges with white vinyl trim that you iron on. Hardest part was getting it all lined up and then making sure the floor mounts were not over floor joists before I cut the holes. This adds a lot of counter space to set things on now that I was missing and will easily stow away up under the bed when traveling or if I need the space for something else. It gives me some options in any case.

Here it is stowed under the bed. The table stores well there and is out of the way, but accessible whenever needed.

These recessed mounts are about as flush to the floor as you can get. Should not be stubbing toes on them.

Subpanel all wired in and fused. I still have 4 open circuits for expansion.

Image

Got the 12vdc accessory plug by the TV (for the bed fan) installed and wired into the sub panel.

Image

Lastly, I finally got the 12VDC auxiliary power jack over the wheels wired in. This is for the air compressor , water transfer pump, or Flojet. I have one on other side also.

flboy, Hody;

Geez, ... hope they allow y'all over there to go campin' soon.
At this rate you're gonna have the Ct so full of electronical do-hickys
and electrical what-nots and you and the "flcutie", won't be able to fit.

Hi Hank. Yes.. hope they let us out soon too. Just catching up on all the little things I made note of while using the CTC for the last two years. Not much else to do now.. all done... really. Everything is scratched off the list. From now on, it will just be maintenance and hopefully a lot of usage. I was just knocking these last things out for the big trip out to Sturgis in early August. The bed lift system was the biggest item that I needed to do from the start.

Hi Don,

I love the recent bed lift, table and other additions! :applause: :thumbsup: :applause:

In one of your pictures, I saw you had an extendable ladder. How has that worked for you? I'm thinking about getting one for our travel trailer. Would you mind saying what brand you purchased?

Thank you and take care,
Tom

Hi Tom and Thanks. The ladder is a WolfWise Aluminum Telescopic Extension Multi-Purpose Ladder, 12.5FT, 330lbs Capacity. I got it on Amazon . They are on sale now for $89. I believe I paid $99 at the time. Is seems to be a good quality ladder, but I am not using it every day ( it is 4.7 stars out of 5 with 509 reviews.... so not bad). In any case, I love that ladder. I use it regularly with the CTC for cleaning solar panels, checking out the roof seals and for putting up my antennas for the radios. It is about as compact as can be and very light.

I second the vote for the telescoping ladders. I have a WolfWise 10.5' one from Amazon also. It was about $90 and weighs about 20 to 25 lbs. I love it for cleaning my panels, checking roof, and other maintenance work. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to use and store.
