Fixing stuff in Raleigh. The things that I want to fix on the RV before I get on the open road are as follows:
Finish the design and build for the carrier on the back of the RV to haul our Bikes and 3 Kayaks.
I did the design but the steel two 2 inch receiver supports were welded by a professional.



Purchase and install an accurate system for measuring liquid levels. We have five tanks to monitor. Fresh water, Black 1 , Black 2 , Galley , Bath. The system I chose is called “see level “ by garret instruments. It’s a little pricey but I want to know what my gray and sewage levels are without guessing. If you guess too much you will know they are too full when raw sewage drools out of your toilet.
I have a Rear View Safety back up camera system with 3 cameras that needs to be installed
I have a rear x brace system with independent electric motors at the rear of the RV to assemble and install. The one I chose is called Power Twin II 30 inch.
Install a truck tool box on the truck bed that doesn’t fit. I have a sawzall and a 4 inch grinder and it will fit pretty soon when I say so.
The next items are things that will have to wait till future campgrounds down the road.
Install 3k generator on back of truck
Wire the generator umbilical twist lock to the RV electrical panel
Install solar panels on roof.
Install and parallel the new Absorbed glass mat battery into the 12 volt system and generator interlocks.
Install the 3k inverter and interlock to the RV panel
