Rear License Light Replacement

The rear license plate light decided to crack off while SacsTC was away in the Damon getting another project updated so we had to replace the old light. (see pic below to see the crack to the right)


He ordered a new replacement light from Amazon. It is almost identical but we updated to an LED light that is encased in stainless. 

I decided I would update our license plate frame to what you see below...


SacsTC  is not a fan..but he still put it on. (Gosh...I love him so much!)
(Here is the new LED lighting the new frame at night)


Look for us when we are on the road!

Battery Maintenance

This is a friendly reminder to keep your batteries healthy by equalizing them each year.

Here is a photo of our house battery bank as we start the procedure...







(You can hear the batteries gurgling if you listen closely! ) 

Here is what our panel looks like as we are doing this procedure ...





...and finally where we are once the procedure is done...


SIDE NOTE- Please look up the proper procedure in your inverter manual. The procedure may be different depending on your brand.

Toad Is Ready

 It has been too hot in the valley to let DH do the work in the driveway so we took the Jeep up to Affordable RV last week to have the set it up for towing.
 I did not stay there to take photos since it was going to be an eleven hour process.

 Here is a photo of the plug of the back of the Damon... (this was already on the coach.)







... the plug on the Jeep...







...and finally a picture of the SMI Stay-in-Play Duo braking system installed.







DH still had to do some work to the unit.  The plug on the Jeep end was not working correctly. He replaced it with a new plug so that the lights will work on the Jeep.

Kitchen Window Blind

The original owners had this window covering when we bought the Daybreak.
The above photo was taken just after we got the Damon...you can see twin bed in the bedroom plus the old countertop is still in the kitchen.


We eventually removed it and I used this for awhile.



We have finally put an actual window covering up now...





I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Electronics Central

...This area has become my "Electronics Dash Center"



We purchased a wireless charger that is a fast charger that will plug into the new dash outlets. I ran the wire and tucked it underneath the "cup holder" tray.  You can see the round plate on the right hand side of the "Dash Center".


The phone will slip into the side and it will not slide out as it sits there on the charging pad.

I was also able to keep the radio remote n the center pocket!

Life on the Road is Great!

Remote Access

I almost forgot- 



This radio package also included a remote control so that the passenger can actually stay safely seated while changing music or answering the phone hands free!

Dash Radio Features

We had this radio on our "Wish List" for the many features that it has.





We were able to get "Hands Free" integrated so that it will work with both our phones.




It came with a microphone that has been mounted so that we can safely talk on the phone without having to find where I have placed either phones.




It also plays music from our phones.  I am using it to play downloaded music from Google Play instead of using my "data plan".  The music sounds so much better on this stereo!
