Bug Wall grab handle clearance mod.
Installed a Bug Wall on the slider door recently (A magnetic bug screen so we can leave the slider door open and keep bugs out) and when the wall is rolled up and not in use the remaining sides get in the way of the slider door grab handle, making it a pain...

And the front window shades.
They come in a very nice storage pouch that fits perfectly up on the overhead shelf above the driver/passenger seat.
The set even came with some sweet swag :-)
If your looking for the best insulated window shades...

Same features and functions on at the Dinette window.
Next up is to install the insulated magnetic cover for the Maxxfan. To install you remove the 4 screws securing the trim piece around the fan then remove the trim piece.
Here's the fan without the cover...

And rear covers installed on the windows. You simply fold them out and push them against the window, the sewn in rare earth magnets hold the covers snugly in position. Fit and finish is excellent!
Rear bedroom window cover installed.
Once installed the...
Next Updates: First up is to mount our Maxxtrax recovery boards on the roof. I enjoy fabricating brackets etc but pressed the easy button on this one and ordered the mounts from Agile Off Road, sometimes it nice to receive a setup powder coated and ready to bolt on :-).
Install was quick and...
Next mod is to increase capacity of the kitchen drawers and make them actually useful. Winnebago tried to cut some pennies here and made the drawers very shallow, if you put taller objects in the drawers they can easily fall out. Again we reached out to Clauson Custom Hardwoods (Link: CLICK...

Now time to install the unit in the van. Install only takes minutes, pull off the seat cushion and lift up the seat base. Then it's just two screws (One on each end) to remove the lower cover that covers the water piping etc, this is the cover that this unit will...
Next mod...increase storage space.
The revel comes with an induction stove top that you set on the counter and plug in, it's a slick setup but takes up the entire top drawer in the kitchen. We were looking at putting the stove in a bag of some sort but then where to put the bag? While...

To drain the remaining fuel out of the original tank I inserted a screw driver into the filler port to wedge the check valve open and we lifted the rear of the tank to pour the fuel into a NATO can.
Removing the lock collar on the fuel sender unit with a drift and...
With summer camping season fast approaching it's time to start completing some of the larger modifications. On my van I installed a 47 Gallon S&B fuel tank and absolutely love the range it provides when traveling the remote areas that we love to travel. We both agreed this mod needs to be on...
A few more preventive maintenance tasks.
First up to protect the exposed wiring on the side door where you remove the cassette toilet. These wires have the potential to rub on the cassette over time and possibly wear through, a few minutes of prevention here can save issues down the road...
We had a couple water leaks on some PEX tubing that I took care of by re-clamping a few of the PEX clamps. While I had the system open I had read that it's a good idea to support the Heater mixing valve that Winnebago leaves loose and flopping around, if left unsupported it can cause leaks down...
After years of following us in his Tacoma/Wedge camper on our family adventures my father (Dan) decided it's time to upgrade to something a bit more comfortable and warmer. After looking a while we recently snagged a 2021 Revel for a more comfortable traveling experience, No more having to...

Now select "Fuel Tank"
We are after item number 3 here. We want the New Tank Algorithm to say Deactivated. Here we can see it's Activated on my van. (J51 Fuel program = Deactivated on the New Tank Algorithm). Click on number 3.
Next Click Deactivated then...
Installed a larger fuel tank? Need to have the J51 fuel gauge program installed so your gauge works correctly? Easily....do it yourself !! No dealer needed!
A while back I installed a new S&B 47 gallon fuel tank in our 2017 4x4 Sprinter (NCV3) and afterwards my gauge wasn't quite working...
