I'm curious what you all think about my plans to build a bunk in my 17 Towlite

I'm sure this has been covered, but what the heck.

Good thoughts!

The back outrigger does seem tweaked a little, AND the rubber rests are pretty worn out. I wonder if I can buy a new set of those.

Light lense crushed during travel!

One of the light lenses that lowers down over our wardrobe was crushed during travel. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm not sure why it was designed to rest so close to the countertop!

I'm wondering if I could squeeze in group 27s. There's a lot going in that battery box.

I found one on Amazon that measures 12x6.7.
I roughly measured each battery space at 11"x7"

Wall by door pulls away when lowered

The photo says it all. When I lower the op on my 2005 17T the wall by the wardrobe pulls away by about 3/8 of an inch. I tried securing the screws inside the cabinet, but they pulled right out.

I think it's the plug. There doesn't seem to be any kind of rubber gasket to make a proper seal.

I may try replacing the fluid. That's not a bad idea.
Have you replaced a lowering pin? I wonder how much trouble that would be.

I was going to try this, but first topped the fluid up, it took 3/4 of a quart! I wonder now if there's air in the system because it's still lowering. I'll try this tip...
