Nice job Ozz...
That has to be one of the hardest things for me to remember...my mind is more like a sieve than a trap these days...

I'd love to see all you've done to that rig...

Ozz, Is there a way you can post those changes only to the husbands, that we can pick and choose the ones we want to tackle. Sk

P.S. You the man!

Jim, what's the video cable for?

By the way, when looking at the water pump I could not see a way to run that line we talked about. I could see under the steps but that's it. There are wires coming out of the wall behind the pantry next to the step but apparently they run behind the false wall and that won't help.

Were you able to totally remove that white panel by the water pump? I could pull mine out aways but could not remove it. It goes over the drop from the basement floor to near the dump handles and the trap blocks it at the top. Is yours different?

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

OZZ you once asked me about the placement of the outlet box inside the front compartment of my Monty. Now yours is a new twist, will your compartment box open fine with the receptacle box placement. Has much has I'm in, around, under, and on top of my trailer, I believe I'd have knots on my head from bumping that box? LOL See-Ya

Steve,
The video cable is from the rear camera to my Truck, it is attached to the main trailer to truck cable.
The White panel flexes enough to bend around the handle, if you work it just right, it will flex enough without cracking. That false wall is where the line voltage wire comes out, that was the wire going through the existing wall brace where we had the Fiberglass rod comes out. I figure if you take a 1" Paddle bit, drill an access hole there beside the wire, you can snake a wire down where we tried into the new hole with your new fishing pole-rod. Sometimes, you just have to try and try again to find the routing, you can bore many holes if behind covers...
Hi Dennis,
No, the outlet doesn't interfere with that swing-up door. And I may have made a head knocker, I will find out the hard way, perhaps, but I like the accessibility of a front outlet in the open there.
I've seen the enclosed front area, it's nice to have 120 Volts there.
