Shooter,

If you go into your PROFILE, then you signature, you should be able to past your picture link in there.

But, how'd you get your picture of the camper on the left of your posts?

Tom, that is your avitar. Go into your profile and add an avitar.

Now I gotta go work on the pics in the signature. :)

Here are my $5.00 step rugs: I bought some outdoor carpet at Lowes (a 5'x6' piece - on sale) which had the identical description as the $18.99 ones at Camping World. I had a stainless steel grommet kit and heavy duty zip-ties at work....and here is the result:

New entry handle. The old one was made of boxed tubing and had pointy corners where our little bumped his head too often:

Shooter checking in with his field report on the JT's: Great, great, great. Camper is rock solid even without using any fancy wheel locking devices. Now I don't have to wrestle the tripod stabilizer anymore.

I should have thought of that; now that I have $60 worth of CW step rugs on my rig.

I have to see for how cheap I can get the grommets and the cable -ties (the ones I used are for outdoor use - which I got from a shipping skid from work-free).
Maybe I can make some in the future for about $8.00 to $10.00/piece depending on the carpet and hardware prices. I do have the grommet tooling though.

Mr. Shooter,

I noticed in your mods that you had some of the rear garage door water damage due to the ridiculous design of the latch. I also have this problem. How did you resolve/fix this?

Last year I removed about half the interior paneling and the soaked insulation to let it dry out. I have covered the latch area with sealant so I am not getting anymore water in there but I need to do something about the wood.

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum. Sorry [size=9]for getting back to you so late (was without a PC for a while). I removed the old 2"x2" (cut it out) using one of these tools: http://www.fein.de/fein-multimaster/us/en/products/multimaster_start.html (was able to cut through the staples). I then installed a treated 2x4 with some short pieces supporting it to the floor. I had to make some cut for the cables using a router. I also installed a dead bolt plastic insert under the strike plate of the garage door. I sealed everything with sealing compound.[/size]
