We're going to get heavy duty shocks for our TV.

We're going to have our hitch (TV) checked out.  It was torquing during the last phase of travel in a way that made us kind of nervous.  It might need to be repaired or replaced with a heavier duty hitch.

We're going to replace the water heater door that fell off somewhere between Woodinville, Washington and Tangent, Oregon.

We're going to do complete servicing on all of the appliances in the trailer.  We lived in the thing for a month, and it deserves a once over.

I'm going to replace the drawer under the gaucho (2000 Bayside) with some sort of cabinet.  I took the drawer out today and it looks like it's a piece of cake to remove the drawer front and use it as a cabinet door.  I'm also thinking of cutting away the bottom of the face frame there so I can slide a big rubbermaid box into the space.

The drawer front comes off, just by removing all the screws inside it. It comes off clean too (no glue) then you can just add some hinges and your set. Put a shelf inside, and it works better than the drawers. I've done this, there are a couple pictures on my website, if you want to see it.

We bought a Coleman Powerchill last year and have really enjoyed using it. It keeps our food/drinks cozy cool!
 
As a result, on our last camping trip, I had a brainstorm. Our camper has a chest type cooler (door opens UP instead of OUT). The age of the camper dictates the age of the cooler (1986), and although it does a decent job of keeping drinks, it requires about a bag of ice a day. And it takes 5 bags of ice to fill it (with our drinks) in the first place!
 
So, I did a little rough measuring (using my arm), and it looks like another Powerchill will nicely fit in the space where the cooler presently resides. It looks like it won't interfere with the bed sliding over it either.
 
The nice thing about it will be that I can pack drinks and things in it the night before, and close up the camper. I usually wait until the AM we are leaving to pack drinks (and ice) and put the camper down. Our present Powerchill has paid for itself in ice bags saved.
 
If I do this, it will be a pretty cool mod!

PS: It might have to wait until after Christmas. I think MIL has it on our list.

Gary;
  What are you doing with the used pump?  I might have a use for it if you are looking to sell it?
