Lifting Panel Trim
I had noticed that the soft-wall was getting pinched between the lifting panels creating small wear areas. I wasn't really sure what to do about it, except to be more careful with folding in the pop-top fabric.
GCecchetto noticed the same thing happening when he started using his refurbished camper with the new lifting panels and new pop-top fabric. (Link to his post)
el chubasco noted his solution:
I went ahead with el chubasco's solution, but I ordered a similar product from McMaster Carr. I was hoping the stuff I ordered would not take as much "persistence" to get on, but did it ever. I ordered #24175K45 from McMaster, but I recommend trying to find something easier to install.
Anyway, it is on now and hopefully it stops the wear and chafing that was happening in that area.
Here is a poor photo, it was wet and raining and I was eager to get inside. Still a poor photo, sorry.
If this works I would recommend anybody with the new composite lifting panels to do something similar, if they are having wear problems.
Edit: Okay, here is a better photo.

No problem, the original credit goes to el chubasco.
Hopefully this takes care of the problem.

Bottle Jack
It fits!
Nice and snug in the stock location.
The quality of the Norco (made in Japan) is so much better than the regular bottle jack you buy from Amazon. I am very happy with it. And the customer service was good from Jack-X-Change, I highly recommend ordering from them.

Any guesses?

Explorer
Thats the back door so its either for a small deck like object, where you could put a bike or something, maybe even a shelf for cooking on once at camp, or a location to mount a tarp from there to the ground for wind protection. (something I am considering) but the size is a bit deceiving??...........

Hose for the shower or black/grey tank?

I think I ordered twenty five feet. It was just about right as I ended up with enough scrap to redo an area if I made a mistake.

Sorry guys, but I had to leave my computer in town. So the descriptive photos of the little hooks under the door will have to wait till tomorrow.
I am enjoying hearing what all they could also be used for. :ylsmoke: Keep the ideas coming.
