Haha thanks guys, here's my next mod I'm planning..

Installed the 4 way connector on the furnace wires for easier removal for next time, but...  after wrestling with the underbelly exhaust duct connection, I hope i never have to remove the furnace again. It connects on the left side of the furnace right up against the wall, and pushes out on the box making it harder to align the intake/exhaust pipes. Took me over an hour to get it, arms got all cut up, and I had to walk away from it a few times while spewing profanities. Wasn't fun but I got it in eventually 😂😂

Shower is completely reinstalled/sealed, and I added an oxygenics shower head and kes shutoff valve as well. All is working well, and I may type this all up under the mod section as a step by step process when I get a chance. I just haven't heard anyone else complaining of having the same issue yet.

Here's the Kes valve.. it shuts off the water completely where the oxygenics button is design to allow it to trickle out to prevent scalding.

Hi Gary,
Sorry for the slow response. We've been on the road the past couple weeks working our way up to Canada and no WiFi until now. I think my tanks are black 32 gal., gray 25 gal., and fresh 26 gal. judging by the literature, but I have not confirmed this myself yet on any of the 3 tanks. 

What I have found is with the black and gray partially full, maybe 1/2 way or so, maybe much less, as I don't trust the idiot lights in the bathroom for how full things might be, and the fresh maybe 1/3 full...  the trailer drives poorly down the road at highway speeds.  I don't like it at all.  I can really feel it sloshing around behind the rear axles throwing significant weight side to side every other second.  It's fine for a short distance, but I'm looking for a dump station for the black and gray ASAP.  Once I empty them, I'm happy again on the highway with things running very smoothly.  Maybe this is normal, but it's surprisingly pronounced in my set up.  This being my 1st TT, I'm probably just stating something everyone has known for decades...

 I haven't experienced this, probably because i dump both tanks at the campground before leaving. I suspect most of us do this. As you note it provides better weight distribution and less weight to tow.

Are you using any WDH or anti sway setup Adam? I just towed mine 100 miles home with the black tank full, and didn't notice any sway at all with my Andersen WDH setup. I also had 150 lbs of batteries at the rear of the trailer under the bunks. I'm looking into storing my generator in a box on the tongue to even out the load. There's nowhere to dump in the places I boondock at, and I have a sewer clean out plug at home to dump into.

Was looking at a 2018 21BHS model here in Austin,TX at Princesscraft RV.   It has a build date of 11/17 so I think it does not have the black water mod.

I'm not a facebook guy either, but started logging on just to monitor the LL owners facebook group. Which other than Gary's posts is pretty much typical fb.  Although it is fun to see pics of Camplites camping, which we don't see much here - but, regardless,  I much prefer the structure of forms.   

I'm Don Mac over there.

I was on the phone last night with my 82 year old mother and she started asking me about my posts on the FB group.  Didn't realize that all friends saw my group posts.    Maybe I'll stop using that FB group. ;)

They need to change it to a private group. I'm no fan of it being public either.

Gary M

Andy just put up a poll to make it private or not. Go vote!

Paul

Yeah the same thing happened to me on that group I was questioned by a co-worker I had commented on one of Gary post  :). I prefer when Facebook groups are private

Andy put up a vote to make it a closed group. Looks like the closed group votes are winning by a lot. It was like 60-20 last I checked.
