Re: Replace Microwave
The towels! Dish towels, bath towels, interior accessories are all this color scheme. Thanks for the compliment. As for the measurements, the overall space once the subfloor is out is: 18 1/2" high, 20 1/2" wide, 15 1/2" deep. The drawers take up about the top 7" so the remaining 11 1/2" in height is the bottom space. (Height varies by 1" due to the sloping floor). Quite big actually. I added a couple pictures for reference. I added a magnetic rechargeable light that comes on automatically when you open the flipper panel to the bottom. Makes for a nice space for non refrigerated food stuff.

Maybe out of order, but you get the idea!
Re: My t@g window came loose. Need help.
Just talked to Elsie and she did fix me up. Seems the windows have this piece attached when they receive them to assemble to the camper so it's a vender issue to them. Elsie is simply sending me a replacement window since I'm still under warranty and I should have it in by Monday...and leave out Thursday for the mountains. Whew! Stress levels dropping as I type this! Thanks NuCamp!
Re: 2024 T@G 5wide Boondock: How do you tell water level with new 23gallon under the floor tank?
Boilers have a "sight guage/sight glass" to show the water level inside. I'm exploring how to use the tank drain (with some clear plastic tubing added) to act as a sight guage. I really did not want to be sticking things down the fill pipe (dip stick concept) and possibly introducing contaminates in my water system. Hopefully this will be a low-tech way to get some insight regarding the water level inside the T@G's tank (which is located just above the wheels, below the galley/cabin "floor.") Of course the rig will need to be as level as I can make it and I will also have a range of only the 3+" between full and empty... that's the theory here.
Above: That's 1/2" clear tubing, which is a little big for the Pex valve barbs. Need to work on that.
Need to get that water tank full, level the trailer and start making some marks on the tubing (maybe do a little TLC washing of T@G also...)

Re: Side windows separating from plastic mount?
Here is the dealer’s fix. Looks much more robust than the original mount. We shall see how it lasts long term. They ended up replacing all the windows for new ones since my “field fix” rendered the original windows unusable. 800 bucks later…
Re: Say Ya to da Yoo-Pee...
So I'm sitting here in my chair in camp, sweating in the heat & reading my book, and this whitetail deer just strolls on through my campsite, big as life and bold as Jove.... Gives me the side-eye like, "yeah, I'm a deer; what of it?" and wanders on through like he's the head of the DNR or something.
I love this planet.

Greetings from Bewabic State Park, just west of Crystal Falls, MI. I'll be setting up some ham radio gear and doing a "Parks on the Air" activation this week, as well as checking out some good whitefish dinners and the 1-lb. cinnamon rolls the size of bowling balls from the Hilltop Bakery in L'Anse.
Re: Has anyone found a way to waterproof & lock the storage tub?
We used one of these but never lock it. Don’t tell anybody.
Re: Starting the Next Mod: New Tongue Box
Thanks. I thought about using your vent method, but when I pulled the OEM box off the trailer and took a good look at the holes in the floor of it, the idea just struck me to blast a grid of holes into the box with my step-drill. Seemed like a good idea at the time....ras said:Very nice. Very similar to mine minus the rotapax cans. I really like your vent solution. I cut rectangular holes and used floor vent heat covers I added a 4 in plastic pipe with screw-on ends in the space between the box and the front of the trailer to store support poles
One thing I did that I didn't mention earlier: I noticed on the second day of working on the project that I got a little drip of water into the box through the battery switch & regulator holes when it rains. I've spaced the back of the box about 5/8" away from the front of the camper body, so I cut a 1" wedge out of a 4' length of a pool noodle and stuffed it down into the gap between the box and the camper. Now any rain that runs down the body just runs off the ends of the "gutter" instead of dripping inside the box.
I may borrow your idea about the PVC storage pipe for carrying stuff. I'm a ham radio operator and often take a portable rig & antenna system along for doing "Parks On The Air" activations. I think your support pole carrier would be perfect for carrying my fiberglass aerial poles.
Re: replacing door holder
Amazon - search RV door holder. Check etrailer, too.
