Nice job, Ozz. I got the door under the fridge done. Now, I'm thinking I'm gonna have to email Glenn, after I take some pics of the mods I've done...

Cool, I bet the door looks nice. You are getting up there in numbers with your Mods, man-a Zaxis and the hose door in a single day...Good job!

I don't have my fan switch in for continuous running yet. I just run the furnace for about 4 minutes in the morning, off until the next morning. My built in heater is the cat's meow. Also, in the daytime we have to open the doors and windows, as it's super nice then.
I would suggest it for everyone, a very minor job, just the cost of a filter and scraps of sheet metal. The filter divides for two changes-(20x16x1) probably use a 2" when I can find a pleated one.

Good job Ozz,
I've been thinking about doing something like that, and probably will now. Thanks for the pics.

Nice job Ozz. That should help clean the air and keep the Monty cleaner.

Ozz,
Great job on the filter, on my list.
Question, did you fill in the 4" holes that they drill for wiring in under the stairs that go down into the belly with expandable foam, and put a couple of more screws into the removable panel in the basement.

Carlson,
I would think the hole to the belly would necessary for heat circulation, like return air, supply air.
I am not done with my white panel, I have to get into there and do some wiring, but I will leave the air gap on top.

Yo OZZ...I have been out doing a little modding... 
I can't use it, so I might as well fix it.
I had a standard filter jammed in there, but it was a little too large, so I broke down and bought some Merv 11 filters online and got out my table saw...made a real nice setup with the step in it just like at home. You can lift and pop the filter out to change it.
Anyways...I noticed a reduction in airflow with the Merv 11 filter and I'm wondering if it's too restrictive. I don't have the knowledge to know if I went too far with these filters. Any idea how to check this so I don't put too much strain on things?

As long as the sail switch makes; (The furnace works) you are good.
It would take blocking the return air about 3/4 completely to stop it from working.
I would say don't worry.
Nice job, by the way, pictures?
Take care bud.

Hey thanks bud... 
The furnace does seem to work just fine. I didn't press things much just in case because this one is an allergen filter and pretty stout.
I held up a lower quality filter (the one I took out) over the opening and it was about the same anyway. I just wanted to be sure I was ok.
As it turns out, I made a wood frame that fits within the existing framing inside the cabinets. It's removable (tight fit), so I'll take some pics tomorrow. It's very easy to swap filters out once the cover is off too.
I am just about done putting a 32" LCD in too... 
The first go around was a poor selection in a mount, and the new one is here. Tomorrow I play...

Ozz,
You are somewhat correct about the holes for air flow.
When they put the dome roof antenna on they ran the wire down throw the holes that I had seal off.
With part of the foam removed
We had a dreaded smell again from under the stairs.
Again we had a leak in the black tank that I repaired.
So the holes for air flow is good and bad.
Right now just keeping the black tank valve open and flush the tank every couple of days.

I didn't forget about the pictures Ozz...
I did this table saw work first because I knew cold weather was coming. And did it ever...we are hovering around 0 degrees right now and I don't EVEN want to go out to the trailer.
I tried a couple space heaters yesterday and ended up turning them off...it just isn't worth the battle till it warms up.
Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves down there. I can just picture you sitting in that rig. The wheels don't stop turning, do they.
Of course I wouldn't know anything about that...
