I wrecked our escaPod

Now it's time to go camping.  The other stuff can wait until the weather turns.

Unfortunately, there is no time to do camping before our big trip so some of the things need to be put back in and the 'Pod stocked for the trip. On top of that, we will be helping with VBS next week. The days are going to be packed in getting the R-Pod ready.

I already got the double steps put back on as well as the power jack. I re-did the steps so now they fit even better than before. I also reinstalled the vent cover. That is tricky as I was surprised to see not the Fan-Tastic Vent, but a Maxxair Vent when we went to pick it up. I had to modify the Fan-Tastic Ultra Breeze vent cover to use the Maxxair's mounting tabs. Hopefully, it will work. If not, then I will get the Maxxair Fan-Mate cover that will use the EZ-Clip mounts.

There is a picture and description on page 4 in my mods (link in signature). I had to notch out the back end to have them fit correctly. The end plates are wider than those of the original steps. They are also a little narrower, so I made shims so they would fit. I could have used washers if I had wanted to, but had the stock on hand to make the shims.

Yes. Since they had to replace both the door side and re-do the roof, they reinforced it so it could support the awning. I would not recommend having an accident in order to get an awning installed. However, in our case, it happened to work out.

I was a little unclear in my description above. The end plates are wider, but the steps are a little narrower, meaning the end plates are a little closer together. That is why I needed the shims. When I reinstalled them, I reworked the notch so they now sit better than they did before. I needed to deepen my notch about a 1/4 inch. Now they are level whereas they were slightly tipped up before.
