The vent cover looks nice... You'll be able to leave the vent open now when it is raining and when going down the road. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oh hangover Mondays,

Anyway, Finished last cabinet door. Forgot how much I missed sanding and staining. Not.

Figured a way to install the green mesh Using S-beaners mostly. Had to use 3 small s hooks for the top islets. Two bucks a piece. I bought 10. I will post pics later tonight. Forget Velcro. This set up is quick and will last forever. At least for my 6x12. This mesh is stout and opens like a shower curtain on the right. Flip it shut and it hangs naturally closed. If your not going to use the rear to exit you can utilize all islets and it is tight all the way around with 2 feet excess on the exit side effectively sealing off the entrance by its weight. Its NOT totally sealed but 95% I would say

One other very important item is the on/off switch for the water pump. THIS IS A MUST. Will be by outlet near the sink. I will NEVER leave that C.T unoccupied with out flipping the WATER PUMP OFF.

Friend had new toyhauler. Loaded up first trip. Tossed sleeping bags in last minute. Did not notice bag hit sink faucet. Got to location, found 30 gallons of water in trailer. Ruined the pressed wood floor and carpet and pretty much everything. But I too have had my own bad experiences during construction. Wired pump back wards, bad pex connections, you name it and I had to pull the damn fuse to get it to stop. Of course my fingers are wet.

Less talk, more pics tonight.

Yes.. a switch on the pump.... a must. I've not pressurized my plumbing yet and I am halfway expecting a sprinkler system. :-) Looking forward to the screen pics.

Don the only piece of advice I would ever feel comfortable in giving to any one about electrical stuff..is DO NOT pressurize you system for the first time with out having an imitate electrical cut off. And a few towels handy. Good luck.
I will trick that switch plate out nice with custom wood look. Give me time.

Thanks Don, I would like that. Sooner the better so I can finish up this week. Finally 99% done.

Oh yes, the black tank hose container. 5 feet of 6 inch pvc pipe and two end caps. Some how mount to under frame. THEN I am done.

Tommy B. Howdy;

Some of this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-3-4-in ... /100167964
with some self-tapping fasteners ...
Several folks on the RV forums use your method and some use the 4X4 fence posts. Just need to find something to
put the hose to ground connection in.

Tommy, I am going out of town Thursday A.M. if you can make it by tomorrow after work sometime, I'll have it for you. It is a nice switch with a Chrome backplate that will look great mounted on your front cabinet face.

Mcdave you are wise indeed.

$475 for champion generator. I guess it can wait. It will have to.
App. $300 for new tires and rims. A must do prior to first trip. Might be $400. Going to Wal-Mart for them in automotive section.

Really tapped out from all this. My poor wife. Seriously. I hope this is worth it in the end.
