  1. Yep, add on fender flares are next, they stick out just a smidge. I'm imagining streams of water coming off those during the next rainstorm too. They also fill the wheel wells all the way up. No rubbing anywhere yet and the new wheels are offset enough turning angle is not impacted.
  2. Got new front shoes today. Went from 11r 22.5 up to 315/80 22.5. Only a few miles on it so not sure how much flotation we'll gain but much of the rocking and swaying it would do around corners is gone. I thought that was all air bouncing back and forth between the cab airbags but 80% of it is gone with the wider tire.
  3. Thanks all, we just landed in Harlingen for the Winter season and will start scouting for reviews on repair places near and far.
  4. On the road since 2015 and I finally did it. Caught the rear lower corner of the end cap on a fence post and tore it. Thinking about taking it to ACRV REPAIR CENTER in Port Aransas Texas as they can also respray my flexarmor if/when the end cap has to come off. Anybody have experience there or have other South Texas repair shop recommendations?
  5. 4 new drive tires and 2 fewer mud flaps.
  6. This is what we did. Store a small propane generator in the cubby, take it out and secure under the pin when in use, plumbed directly into the factory propane line, and wired into a new plug on the cubby door. Effectively tied into the propane and power present as part of the factory gen-prep. As our solar and batteries are completed we use it less and less.
  7. A new pair of Legacy Silver seats going in today. Surprised at how excited I am to have a pair of working arm rests.
  8. Converting to oil bath and Timkins in the next couple days because of issues like this. 3,000 miles on the bearings that came with my disc conversion kit and and one of the outer ones is disintegrating. Can't trust any of them, they all have to be replaced. Lots of Pro's and Con's back and forth, many old wives tales and anecdotes energetically expressed, but for me it came down to this: The only time you know your greased bearings and seals are good is when they are in your hands. Having to re-pack every 6 months and worrying about if the seal blew out when I used the zerk is not fun for me.
  9. Sorry, old log truck driver joke. Yes, new injectors for the D12 in my Volvo.
  10. Looks like we're getting some new spark plugs. Not cheap but if they last another 500,000 miles I can live with that. Getting some Silver Legacy seats too.
  11. Dropped off at dealership. Was headed there to get some new seats, few miles from there truck lost power and started running rough. Towed the last few miles in. Lots of injector and ecu codes on the display. Diagnostics will get run Tuesday and we'll see what they find.
  12. The electroplastic strips are down and the vinyl plank flooring going on top. Should finish up this weekend.
  13. It's not light on power. When plugged into shore power it'll effectively be powered by the Victron chargers. The boondocking use will be similar to running air conditioners off battery power, yes you can, if all the circumstances are just right. And I'm building up my trailer to have those circumstances. Otherwise I'll be firing up the propane generator or propane furnace, which is a perfectly fine plan b.
  14. I think the versions are just marketing speak. The first draft from them had a 120v ac converter for the 24v dc strips. I then clarified I only wanted native 24v and they provided a 24v controller instead. I suspect you can get whatever combination best fits your use case.
