No great detail here but swapped out factory thimble size toilet out for a dometic 321 elongated bowl residential size toilet. Pretty straight forward install, bolted right up. I also added a piece of aluminum trim to the front of the toilet riser to help prevent chipping from foot traffic.

Custom 3” lift kit

Posted 08-21-2018 at 08:04 PM by GMFL
Updated 11-15-2018 at 02:55 PM by GMFL

I built a custom 3” lift kit using 3”x3” 1/4” wall square tubing. The square tubing allowed me to run the propane line that goes to the water heater through the lift block avoiding the problem of rerouting it under the axle. Blocks are 10” long and I just measured a matched the existing holes in the frame and axle. I was able to drill the blocks with a standard bit and drill press, taking care to keep the bit cool with oil and keep steady firm pressure while drilling. I used all new grade 8 bolts...

Hitch Holder

Posted 08-21-2018 at 07:52 PM by GMFL

I welded a 2 1/2” to 2” receiver reducer to the street side A-frame of my trailer to allow me a place to store my hitch while at a camp site. This little addition works great to keep the rear of the truck free, the hitch out of the dirt, and out of the way.
