Lazy Daze Owners' Group

Thanks for posting all those pictures, Mike! The instrument cluster looks as if it was lifted from the recent F-150 and F-250 (I've owned both), and that's a good thing--those were very well designed instrument setups. It takes a while to learn all the options, but once you do, you'll find it can display almost anything you could want to know. (Except trouble codes... you still need a ScanGauge or UltraGauge for those.)

Lazy Daze has made some good improvements. I see they installed a pull-down kitchen faucet, which I've found much more practical than the older pull-out type. I like your mods, too. Nice cab blanket!

I'll be interested to hear how you like the new Fan-Tastic fans. I replaced the guts of the two fans in my Airstream with those, but soon grew to dislike them. I found the remotes very counterintuitive, with a lot of button-pushing required to accomplish the simplest tasks. But maybe it's just me. :-)

"The Arizona sun gives some interesting light patterns on the floor when shining through the ceiling fan cover."

I like the light coming through the vents, but I found the patterns annoying, especially when the fan is running slowly (or it's off and the wind is spinning it)--the flickering just about drove me crazy. So I made scrims, as follows:

1. Replace the Fan-Tastic vent's four mounting screws with male screw-in snaps.

2. Cut and hem a piece of lightweight, light-colored fabric--cotton, muslin, whatever will let light through but diffuse it. Make it about 17" x 19" (finished size).

3. Add female snaps to the corners. (The snap kit I linked to has everything you need, including the tool.)

These scrims will hang down a little, letting through air but diffusing the light--no more seizure-inducing flicker when the fan is spinning. :-) Only one drawback: you can't leave them in place when running the fan on exhaust because they'll be sucked up against the screen. I still find them very useful in mild weather. And the snaps on the vent bezel make it easy to add an insulated cover in cold weather.

When I first joined this group after buying our 2010 RB "Monty" ten years ago it was a problem filling the fresh water tank with blowback. Someone here showed how to make a copper tube to properly direct the water flow into the tank.

With all the great improvements that LD has made over the years I wonder it they will ever address water fill back flow issue?

Mike, can you explain the New SmartPlug shore connection?  I’m not familiar with it.

I’ve always used a hose like this and have never had a problem filling up.
