MOD - Making the 30 amp Cord Detachable





Our factory cord did not detach, it worked well but the "Mouse Hole" the cord went into for storage left a sizable opening for intrusions. Insects, rodents, wind and while I wiped it off before putting it away it would be damp putting into the RV to dry in a confined space that also had carpet in it was not a pleasant thought.

Kitchen Faucet Upgrade

The wife wanted a kitchen faucet in the StormPOD that matches the one in the house. Easy upgrade. We dd it in February with the furnace running, was unable to test for leaks until I de-winterized.





Original Faucet

Used two of these to make the connection.
