@ Dan -- Great to hear about you and Teri's experience in doing mods on the
road. That's encouraging. We are currently playing checkers with boxes of
Ramco mirrors, Ragusa step, Progressive converter, New Wave Enviro 10 water
filter, signal boosters, low flow attachments, and a bunch of other stuff
my work schedule hasn't allowed installation of yet.
Really I want to rip out the galley counter like you did, but no guts for
that. Also working on functional plans for a movable workstation located
between the cockpit chairs.
Well, anyway, dry camping mods help from you, Matt, Rob, Ken Henderson, Jim
K, Jim B and others (sorry if I missed anyone!) has been gold.
BTW, I forgot to close the black tank shut off last week. Discovered that
today at the dump station. Won't forget to push in that lever for quite a
while. Macerator soon on-order too.
