Thanks for this warning! Can you clarify what you mean about rotating the inner bike bar? Mine share bars (front/back bikes). The only thing I can imagine rotating would be the bar that sets them...

My 240Ah lithium is under the "foot" of the bed, behind the water heater. It fits there, my inverter fits right on the other side of the panel, and the corner section is good for the junction board....

I got tired of the Dometic door sagging and becoming difficult to open. Blue Loctite and an angled screwdriver to the rescue!

I also installed a Dura Faucet quick connect for the outdoor shower. This was the easiest upgrade, because it's entirely accessible from the closet floor. I should have had my 10 year old do it.

I installed an Acuva Silver NX water filter/UV sanitizer under the sink. Posted these images in another thread, but it seems pertinent here as well.

We have continued to use our dinette extension with good results. That said, I continue to hate this dinette. I'm a slim guy, so it's not the size issue; it's just uncomfortable...

I've done nothing more than run the cable at this point. Part of it was a sourcing issue; I needed to source more cables from Tesla. Part of it is that our Model X is at the body shop after a little...

Yes, I think so. I also think I could just replace one or both of the corner curved backrests with a folding two-piece backrest. It would leave a square hole in the corner when angled at a 90, but...
