Disassembled the outdoor shower today to figure out why it was leaking, wouldn’t shut off, etc. A new one is $50. Pic from camping last weekend...



Got it all taken apart and found that it was just one small o-ring. Since there’s two valves and the "hot" one is blocked off since we don’t have a water heater, I just swapped the valves and now it works perfectly.



Total cost: $0.00
Total time: ~45 minutes

That’s another $50 toward the solar system

Got an Aluminess spare tire carrier from Jwinterstellar on the forum a few months back and finally got it mounted up. Used a 5/16th bolt for the top hinge but it seems small, anybody out there that has one of these, can you tell me what size bolt you used on that top hinge?



Also per his suggestion I added some felt to the back to avoid damaging paint on rear door.



Also picked up some bottle jack extension pieces from SafeJack.

The bolt that replaces the stock door hinge pin? Got me, but call Aluminess, they provide shoulder bolts for that, and I'm sure they'd send you the proper one for a reasonable price.

Securing the Endless Breeze Fan
Finally got around to securing our Fantastic Fan Endless Breeze in the cabinet under the microwave. Used 3" footman loops to do the job. Fits nicely next to the Thetford.

Took the roof top AC off and installed a Fan Tastic Vent in its place. Very easy swap.

Cut Réflectix to fit into the awning windows. Used velcro around the edges for additional rigidity and to fix to the windows proper. Needed a couple of velcro tabs to hold tight.
