New run meter for the new Champion propane / gas 2800/3100 duel fuel.

Hi, I should buy one of those for my Yamaha 2400. Is that just an induction wire to the spark plug wire? Does the meter need a battery to work?

Pair of Andersen levelers.

Moose tags are handy for identifying wires.

Funny, was recently heading to buy your Yamaha 2400 just before going the Costco Champion duel fuel route. (Really like it!)

The run meter is a simple low cost external device and must have an internal lithium coin battery lasting years. Yes on the induction wire. They supply @ 2.5ft wire to wrap one end around spark plug lead and tie wrap it in place. Other simply tucks into the back of meter to read the spark. The creativity is finding / making a small enough hole to get the wire through to the best mounting location. Most of run meters are water resistant. Hour glass icon flashes when gen runs and counts up in 1/10 Hr increments. Pretty slick !

Today the Caravel got one half of the new belly pan cut and fitted. It is now in place with a some small jacks. A short siesta and drill baby drill. ��

It's a small thing, but I scored a travel iron at a yard sale for a buck!

Streamingair...Love a great yard sale buy!

We purchased a laser cut metal design for our screen door at a local festival a few months ago and mounted it yesterday. More details posted at,

I hope the link works. It's my first try at including links.

We also added an aluminum sheet to the door for travel stickers. I'm searching for some trim to finish it off.

Oh well, back to the drawing board on the link thing...

It was supposed to direct to "The shiny Reveal - 1968 Overlander."

1. bottle jack and jack stand to uncouple the trailer until my new jack arrives
2. propane pigtails and pipe dope

Installed a cast bronze Airstream sign by Anthony Martin above the side splash in our 2014 Classic.

[m.hony]

Hey!
My side splash isn't trimmed in wood!
And my bathroom wall isn't wood, but that funky RV wallpaper stuff..

[switz]

The original aluminum stove side splash was attached to the wall with double sided tape. The 115 degree Arizona heat softened the adhesive and it slid down the wall beside the stove. We will get it out next month when installing a new Dometic CU-434 stove.

We replaced that aluminum panel with a piece of magnetic stainless steel and screwed it to the wall and trimmed it with hickory.

The lighting created the illusion of a different colored wall in the bathroom, but it has the funky wall paper.

When the trailer was built, we did have the factory put a bare aluminum panel behind the bathroom sink instead of the wall fuzz and install different stock flooring on a change order.

Unfortunately that change order never made it to the floor, so the bathroom and shower has to be removed (when I showed them the approved by the VP of Production change order) to remove the stock flooring and install the ordered linoleum from the International Serenity which we liked better.

The installation was not done properly and we replaced the whole flooring when we had most of the furniture out doing the custom work. We used Marmoleum Vivace.

Our 2015 23D International Serenity dinette leg wore a hole in the extremely thin flooring in less than 2,000 miles. So while the interior was out for the modifications, we replaced it with Marmoleum.

We did put a brass wear plate under the dinette legs of both the Classic and 23D.

There isn't mouse fur behind the bathroom sink originally.
There is more of the funky parchment looking wallpaper and an unbefugly cheap looking wallpaper border.
We had Jackson Center install an aluminum backslpash there, too.
My sidesplash in the kitchen fell off the wall and slid down beside the cooktop, too.
It was repaired at Jackson Center.
We haven't had the table leg rub through the fake hardwood floor looking roll vinyl flooring.
I just watched a Loloho video where they painted the funky wallpaper.
I am considering that option.
If I were ever to renovate this trailer I would delete the mouse fur and padded white vinyl headliner material in favor of aluminum skin walls and ceiling. I would prefer more hickory wood under the locker above the couch rather than the white vinyl headliner material. I would prefer more hickory wood at the end of the locker by the entry door. Also, I would prefer brown leather on the couch and dinette benches.
It seems funny to want to renovate a relatively new trailer that is still in as new condition, but I like what I like...

Some elbow (uh....DeWalt cordless drill and buffer wheel) and Mothers aluminum polish for the wheel well trim. Years near the so cal beach made it really oxidized. 20 min each side and Shinier than new 👍🏽

[m.hony]

I like it.
I want to polish my wheel well trim now.
I got more camping reservations, a new jack on the way and a plug in voltage meter on the way.
