We really like what's left (after hurricane Hugo) of Old Town Charleston, some very cool houses with awesome courtyards! The guys also enjoyed the USS Yorktown at Patiots Point. Enjoy the trip!
I plan to rewinterizing our TT either today or tomorrow, we have left a small electric heater on inside it since we returned home, has gone as low as 27*, but with the cabinet doors open everything has been good so far.
We are going for 4 days so not a long trip. We did the Patriots Point thing last time, this time we are going to Ft Sumter, taking the carriage ride and checking out a Plantation. We are staying is a State Park 30 miles from the city with water and electric, a lot quieter and cheaper than closer in. The wife and daughter also want to do some shopping for the 8th grade dance, there is a huge outlet mall in North Charleston.
I have to say I'm slightly jealous of you guys, I'm still months away from camping. I started the motorhome the other day and plan to move it this upcoming week. Have some work to get done before camping season. The Travel Trailer should be pretty close to ready to go.
Do you have any info on your modified hitch bar? Wouldn’t mind getting a little more forward lean on my TT than I’m getting with the 6” drop.

My interior has all LED lights which is great but they are pretty bright (also good) but at night when I'm trying to relax or set the "mood" I would like it toned down some. JR product sells LED dimmers that are really nice but they are $60ish dollars each. That's too rich for this tight ***.
I bought 2 of these
off Amazon for $10. This isn't the same brand name I used but they look identical.
In the bedroom I have a single switch in done paneling of the closet that the back is removable due to being the wire chase co the roof. It was easy to gut the circuit board out of the plastic box and zip tie it inside the chase. I drilled a 1/4 hole for the potentiometer to stick through.
That was the easy one. The living room switch is in the slide wall itself and has a large rocker switch cover on it. I had to enlarge the hole in the paneling to allow the circuit board to fit in the wall. The easy way would be to just surface mount the dimmer, but that ain't how I roll. There was just barely enough room to allow the potentiometer to be mounted to the side of the rocker cover hiding it somewhat from view.
In both cases you have to break the + and - going to the LED. This might be difficult in some installs but on both of mine the negative was in the same chase as the positive, infact they are duplex cables (two wires joined in the middle) like a lamp cord or trailer wire. There is a fire danger with the exposed circuit boards but I think being inside a wall with little to no air it would suppress any thermal event. Fingers crossed....
They are awesome to have, you can dim from barely any light at all to max in 3/4 turn. I am going to put another one on the reading light above the bed.

Thank you for posting again! Appreciate the chance to see someone do something I apparently cannot!
Understand on the mood lighting too...brown chicken brown cow.
I got my HA all back together and forgot to take any pictures, however it is mounted on the new TT and ready for this stupid weather to come around. Hoping to get out for a few days next weekend.

No problem at all. Another member asked me for the CAD files I made of the side plates so that others could have the hitch built but for some reason I cannot find the last version of the files, only the files for the 5/8" bolts in the 3P arrangement.
Now that I have the new truck I will have to reset the hitch height/angle/etc. so I will try to take some good pictures to scale on the computer.
Of course I might just sell this hitch if I don't think it's needed on this truck.
Went to Givhans Ferry State Park, 30 miles from Charleston,SC. Very quiet and no data for cell service. and my teenager survived! The 25 sites are good sized, on sand. The park has some full hookups, we had water and 30 amp. The park is famous for the canoe/kayaking from Collette State Park to Givhans Ferry State Park on the Edisto River. If you are ever on I-95 18 mile South of I-26 and need a break for the night the park is about 20 miles south of I-95 off of SC HWY 61.
The weather was cool and the rig did great. The Ex did about 700 miles since Saturday, 400+ was it was towing. No problems at all worth mentioning, didn't even have to get the tool box out. We will probably stay at James Island next time, we drove through it and the sites are very nice. The Tea Plantation was also interesting, it is the only place tea is grown in North America.
Well spring is starting here, temps in the mid 30s during the day. Last fall I had the bright idea to park the travel trailer and motorhome on the lawn. I did this right as the ground started to freeze. Well now the ground is starting to thaw and both have sunk in about 6". Had to use another truck to get the motorhome out of its spot which I did last night. Will move the travel trailer today.
