Thanks for the pics and details on all of your mods and great set up on the inverter.
The larger window on the 08 models at the dinning table is a very nice improvement.

From those pictures, it doesn't look like you guys have much snow in your area but I hope your spring season isn't too far off.

Safe travels,
Mike.

Yes, the bath came with a heater vent installed in it. Our previous TT was a Sunnybrook 3310 34' with 4 bunks that we had for 6 years. The kids are both in college now, so we decided to go with a "no-bunk" floorplan since the family vacation days are pretty much over. It was nice having the 4 bunks when the girls were smaller, they could each bring a friend and we had plenty of room.

No snow so far, but cold as h-e-double-toothpicks today, so winter's not over yet....hoping to get out in march, but we'll see.

Lantley, I've started looking for local welders to add a platform out back. Two concerns I have are 1) will that add too much leverage to the frame, and 2) will I have a problem dragging on inclines like driveways and such?

Look at the outside from this angle:



On the inside, this is currently dead space under the drawers of he bathroom wardrobe:



Since the propane is right there for the HW heater, and the electric also enters there, I'm thinking this would be the perfect place to install a propane powered Onan. I'd need to add an acess door and build an insulated fireproof enclosure. Cost probably $3K with the genset and i'm not sure it's worth it.

G-men definetely deserved to win as they played much better than GB. I think the cold bothered them more than they admit. Not to mention Harris & his big mouth couldn't handle Burress.

All I have left to say is JUST WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!

Wow, really nice, seems like you're going to be very happy. My cable TV plug also has that cigarette lighter adapter which I wasn't sure what it's for--but it's for adding an inverter for the TV? Or does it boost the antenna somehow? I noticed you had a dewalt shop vac, $$$$.

Nice trailer Don! Congratulations!

I see the problem you have with mounting a generator. How far above the bumper is the city water connection?

I'll try and post some pictures of my generator rack. It may work for you if there is enough clearance (have to move that light though).
