Topic: New to the board Posted: 10 Jan 2017 at 3:48pm |
js555, have pics learning how to upload. I used the 6 foot metal wire shelf from Lowes - attached above curtain boxes to wall, with 3" angle brackets and #8 screws into drywall anchors. Did NOT drill into aluminum frame, I only use for storage in rear, stuff in small boxes. In front I used the wire corner shelves and supported them across front with a 1 3/8" closet rod to carry wardrobe. What I am working on improving is - I used tie wraps to attach to angle brackets and closet rod, serves purpose but I would like to improve.

Nice unit! That was the first thing I noticed (after the dogs) was that the wheels weren't chocked. First thing we do upon setting up is to level side to side or wheel to wheel. Once that is accomplished we chock both wheels so there is no chance of rolling. Then we disconnect from the TV. Since we boondock quite a bit we often have uneven ground to work with. Chocking is a necessity for us.

Always chock before you release it from tow vehicle. If there is the slightest incline it will roll that direction. I have wife apply brake from tow vehicle until I am chocked and in some cases have leveling jacks down, the last think I pull from tow vehicle is the electrics plug.

Thank you guys ! I am so happy to have bought one of these. The dogs love it as well... and man do they love to cuddle up in that bed ! M.Carter I look forward to seeing your pictures and ideas. Mostly worried about the type of screw to use without going through causing leaks yet making it strong enough.
Cheers
