Sounds like you are making good progress with that list.
Talking about sewers, I have to pull back my underbelly and replace the black valve assembly. Now leaking so that I need a bucket under my dump before I open the cover.
Not fun.

Being lazy, I stick one of these on when the valves start leaking.

Headed off to buy a replacement black valve with that handle, no more cable type units for me.

I have the same fetish... I'll try to get some pics of the new Awning LED strip too!!!
At this point the only incandescents are the big spot lights on the sides and back of the camper.

I want to add a strip under my party deck awning. The new XLR's are shipping with them now but mine missed the cut.

Interior LED's look great Randy, as does the outside. One of my mods fell off the list. After searching under the trailer for a spot, there's just no good way to keep the ladder underneath for transport.


The dealer says it should come off for transport, it sticks out 6" on the street side, awning sticks out 4" on the curb side.................I'm really temped to just leave it attached as it aggravates me in the garage. Thoughts? Trailer body is 97" wide.

Leave it attached and don't stress about it. Ladders, awnings, fender extensions, etc. don't count towards the 102" max width.

I did know about the "stuff" on the sides not counting. Guess I'll replace the quick connect buttons with some stainless bolts and run with it. I'm certainly not bothered by the width on the street side. Thanks for your opinion Rodney.

Love the LED lighting upgrade Randy! I also have an LED lighting fetish, my XLR has the blue LEDs inside and I would really like to add a few more touches.

We should work on that together Tony. You know the newer XLR's already have more than ours do. They have the blue LED's under the lip of the bathroom sink, in the bedroom headboard, and under the lip around the kitchen island.

Hey, Bob get you your parts and make your appointment yet? If not, keep on him. XLR just released 8 new floor plans and he's more busy than ever. Don't want you to get forgotten.
