Lowered my rear jacks two bolt holes which is 2 inches. Did this due to installation of MorRyde IS system raising my unit which caused rear jacks to stroke out. Zero point recalibrated and everything looks good.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together! So thankful for the folks we have on this forum. The free flow of knowledge and willing to help one another is so refreshing...not to mention that it helps keep rigs moving on down the road!

In preparation for my summer travels I greased all my grease fittings, 3 fittings on my Curt 24Q Hitch, 9 fittings on my Tri Glide Pin Box, 14 fittings on the Suspension Shackles and SRE 4000 for a total of 26 grease fittings 🙂

Aren't those MorRyde shackles nice? They actually all take grease.

Replace the batteries with AGM batteries. Got rid of the battery boxes which were not sealed anyway. Tightened many loose wires. Starting off with 200Ah and will add two more for 400Ah.

I did leave part of the vent hose attached so that if it does get rain in there it will be directed to the bottom.

Installed Pantry brace last week. We haven't had problems with the door opening in transit, however we've seen pantry drawers bumped out to max after stopping. This should stop that.

The 1" x 3" fits into the bracket at the bottom and top.

I installed these a long time ago and they worked great. None of the drawers opened up

Also did a Mod on the Skylight in the shower. Being inspired by others, I tried buying film to put on the inside of the skylight. Alas, it wouldn't stick to the textured surface, and I didn't have a lick of sense to ask about how everyone got theirs to stick!

I ended up buying a "stained glass" kit and making my own design. Pics of progress:

Finished (but not dry) project. Waiting for it to 'cure' before putting it back in.

All in all, this project took about 8 hours. 2 hours making design and template, 2 hours laying down black leading strips, and 4 hours filling in with color. Price-wise, just a tad more than the film. Time-wise... a LOT more expensive, but satisfied with the results as this is a "one-of-a-kind" design.

Take the skylight down inside the shower, the top side is smooth, install & put the skylight back up.

We added the pads you can buy for chair legs onto the back of the 1x3 so as not to scratch the drawers.

A water softener considerably reduced the scale & on mine what little there is is kind of soft _ mushy instead of hard scales.
