I am pretty sure our 2014 FC20 has the same twin ports back there [CATV and Satellite TV].
Nice!

The ground plane and the flagpole attachment to that antenna, I made myself.
A flat to metal ground plane comes with the kit however I felt was inappropriate, stuck 20 foot in the air with the wind.
If you would like I can get you additional information on exactly what I made.

Yup...as the small dot started to seemingly explode and continue to build, you could hear whoops and hollers in the neighborhood. I wasn't expecting the show that followed.

can anyone help with this image?
As for the ele recall (ele system; "...power inlet receptacles not property tightened..."), seems I discussed this with the dealer when the propane tray recall was discovered/discussed but don't have paperwork. I'll request the clearance when I have the above propane line relocated.

The WH compartment under the setee puts outs out an enormous amount of heat. I'm thinking off setting the old refer fan connected to a 12vdc male plug (that i currently use to vent hot air from the TV for the dogs when parked), to maybe push some of that WH heat thru the floor channel to that toilet/vanity opening. Same thought in the rear compartment as i'm picking up another recycled fan for the dogs for higher exhaust flow in the tv.
Obviously this is for really cold weather, but last year we got surprised at lake wallowa pushing the bottom of the 20's.
As an aside, I noticed some water dripping from the belly just inboard of the dump valves. Holy @#$% batman😂. However since the above mentioned panel had not been reinstalled, i reached under and up to the fw and bw check valve connections and discovered the insulation soaked and i could put at least a half turn to both the connections. So...just a heads up. Those connections, not really able to be tightened by exterior removal, can be with some difficulty tightened from the wall cavity side...small hand really helps as it's a one finger process. Watch for sharp alu.
Now that panel comes off/on so easily, i tend to check them more often.

SC, panel is probably not as accurate as alu cover. I have an alu two sided that is behind/to the right of the toilet. 2 screws attach it to the vanity and the 3rd to the white platform that the toilet is attached to. The toilet supply line comes out from under the alu. Just before the shut off. If you remove this you'll first see the sloped abs vent or maybe the sink waste pipe, then a ton of pex going eery which way. This is where the fw comes in, the bw inlet/check connects and exterior shower backside. Put a camera in or look back for Darrel's/ TC's posts when he removed the settee for new covers. Seems Camano was in the area soon after tc, but to replace his bw backflow check valve. Seems both posted images.
Hope this helps. Let me know.

LynnSr....nice hookup of the WeBoost!! Thanks for sharing. I ended up running my cable through a hole I drilled in the window frame up front and installing the booster next to the magazine rack by the bed. Then, I ran the cable under the bed and over to the dinette by the wall. I really like your set up. Oh...and is that a springer? I have one of those too!

Hi Lynn,
Great posts...thank you very much! So, just to confirm, you made the ground plane adapter and the base that you attached to the Airstream vs. buying them commercially? If so, I certainly don’t have your metal fabrication skills!
Also, dumb question, but what does the ground plane do and is it required? I don’t see that on the installations that I have run into at campsites.

Fresh water sterilization
I searched for the topic, but couldn't find it.
Can anyone point me to the procedure for sterilizing the water system with bleach in our 20 footers?
Thanks, Tom

Great ideas! I’m going to do both. Forehead smack on the alum tunnel attachment mod with bolts and t-nuts. I’ve tightened those dumb screws 100 times if I’ve done it once...
