Whew, that was a job. Got all of my trips planned for 2021, One RV trip a month, with camping done in Jan and Feb (Feb was an RV trip due to weather) we will hit our goal.
I have ordered from WalMart a sofa bed to replace the tri-fold sofa in the camper, it is very uncomfortable to sleep on, daughter has been using an air mattress instead. Fun part will be getting it in the camper.
Replaced a gate valve yesterday, handle broke on a gray tank. Had to take the black valve off for access to install, not a super fun job.
I upgraded the tri-fold to a pull out. We got the couch at Wal Mart and it went easily into the camper. The worst part of the whole job was disassembling the old couch and cleaning out a spot in the attic for it and getting it into the attic. Below is a Pic of the old Trifold and the new couch. The mattress is 6'x3' memory foam.I did not center it because it gives us the room to store a small folding table. I had to wrap heater hose on the bed feet to even up the height between the slide and the floor. Old Trifold
Getting all the parts together to add an LP quick connect on the TT for the Blackstone. It'll be very nice to not have to carry the green tanks anymore. Finished up the V/C code spring swap recently. I'm waiting on a replacement redtop gear and 2 deg shims. Hope fully all this time and money pays off with a nice safe, secure, and stable driving rig for years to come.

I have an LP port on the TT but have never used it. I carry a 20lb tank wih a tree and use it for the Blackstone, gas stove and lantern.
Old OEM RVLOCKS comes with a key fob, matching keys for both doors and a 6 digit security code. Three ways to lock and unlock. Old OEM POS was starting to pit. RV Faucets Dura Faucet
Upgraded the door locks, the bathroom faucet and hardened the rear bicycle door.
How are you liking the new door lock? Been looking at those. I'd like to replace my new faucet as well, there is no reach over the sink like yours was. I'd prefer a slightly longer neck.
I had the same lock on a couple of campers, they are nice, be sre to place a lock box on the rig somewhere with a key as you are locked out if the battery dies.

These locks are much more substantial. As for the faucet the OEM was starting to pit, glad I had an adjustable extendable basin wrench. I was practicing yoga trying to maneuver between the toilet, tub and sink, I didn't know I was that flexible.

They (allegedly) let you know when the battery is going low and will still operate on a low battery. I'm not sure I will "learn" the key fob to the system, I'm wondering if it unlocks both doors at the same time. I keep a key on the truck ring, on a separate ring (so I don't have to turn the truck off) same key for front and back door.
Sweet! Did you use adapter spacers or a hub change to mount the SD wheels? What are you initial plans for the trailer? One big box or a few smaller ones?
