The access panel covers my solar/inverter/battery installation - more Poly Mat there too

That looks like a Pi foundation touchscreen, are you running this system with a Pi?

Yes - I am using the 7" Touchscreen with a RPi 3B+ running Venus OS (this is the Victron OS that runs on a Pi and lets you monitor your battery, solar and inverter from anywhere ...)

This is exactly what I plan to do to mine. Thanks again for the photos openrangeowners!

Has anyone out there found a source for a close match to the fabric GD wraps around the basement panels?

I plan to reconfigure my 2021 310GK basement to get a bit more usable space and my OCD won't allow me to not try to make it match.

Thanks!

Most fabric and craft stores carry the felt in many different colors. I purchased mine from Jo-Ann Fabrics here in Georgia for $5.99 yard. I also saw it at Michaels.

I also found this online from a place called Parts Express that sells audio components:

I have some on order, I'll see how well it matches.

Give GD customer service a call and they will tell you what they use. Have you vin handy. You can also do a parts look up on their site.

I did end up calling GD parts. They sell the fabric by the linear yard and it's 8 feet wide. Price is $11.48 per yard, very good price in my opinion.

I am impressed that it is possible to order a component down to this detail from Grand Design directly.

Are you saying you were able to order from GD directly and not go through a dealer -if so WOW and how did you do it and who did you talk to?
Thanks

Yes, I called GD customer service and was transferred to parts. Don't remember the name. Gave her the VIN and she looked through the parts list for that model (she said it was about 70 pages). I looked on the website for the manufacturer of the fabric, didn't look like they sold to end customers. She told me that since I wasn't working with a dealer on a repair, I could buy direct.

It sounded like this was a new service. She mentioned something about this only being the fourth week online, I wasn't sure if she meant due to Covid. I didn't ask.

Gave her a credit card number, and Bob's your uncle. I was amazed.

I'd really be interested in seeing pictures of what owners have done to expand or modify their basement walls. Access panels and/or other ideas. Thanks in advance!
