What did you do to your Grand Design today?

Both propane tank connecting hoses were cracked and one was leaking propane. 2022 Momentum.

We brought home the new 22MLE on Thursday. Since then we have been cleaning, measuring and slowly loading it up. I have also been ordering things like new locks to replace the 751's on the storage compartment doors and a backup/sideview camera system. We have our first trip to a nearby state park next weekend which should let us shake out any problems.

It is already going to have to go back for the brakes which are pulsing. I expect it is due to maladjustment or grease on the pads but it might also be a wiring issue as we did have the dealer install a CRE3000 and wet bolts before we picked it up. It is possible they might have damaged something while doing the work. Since we will be on lightly traveled back roads I will also take some time to burnish the brakes to see if that helps. This will also let us get any things that might show up next weekend resolved.

Today's project was to hard-wire install a surge protector from Progressive. Fairly straight forward. Though wish the instructions were better. The product design changed slightly and didn't match the instructions. Had to go online to see that others had the same issue and how to resolve. Had to fish the data cable up behind the pantry so that we could install the monitor panel in the same space as the other control panels. Still needs a little touch up paint. But it works! Will be nice to not have to worry about remembering to connect the SP on my shore power cord.

My refrigerators 5 amp circuit board fuse was blowing, so I removed power to the fans and placed a small USB powered fan behind the fridge temporarily until my replacement fans arrived. I replaced the fans with Beech Lane fans (link below) that mount to the vents. Once I had the old fans out I realized one was locked up.

On Friday, I installed Bluetooth EasyStarts on both AC units and replaced the main thermostat with the EasyTouch Thermostat. I like the EasyTouch Thermostat enough that I'm thinking of replacing the bedroom thermostat with one.

My fans were out the entire season last year. I used a household fan to move air up the bottom vent and through the top. I took the trailer in after the season and the dealer did a warranty fix on a wire for the fridge, unrelated to the fans. After they did the warranty work the fans mysteriously work again.

I’m not confident they will continue working so I bought the 3 fan configuration of the ones you got. Looks like I need to trim down the wood panel which is behind the upper vent to make them fit. Not sure if the vent cover will then fit in flush. Would you be kind enough to send a pic to me or tell me how you attached yours? Thanks, Mike.

I removed the panel to get access to the fans. When I replaced the panel I moved it down to accommodate the fans location and mounted it using three L brackets connected to the framing of the vent opening. I placed one bracket the left and one on the right and one on the bottom.

If you don't have to remove the panel I would just trim it. But I doubt you will be able to remove the old fans with the panel in place.

Thanks! I thought I would just place the new fans against the fins at the top to pull the air through. I didn’t think you were actually replacing the old fans.

Installed a new fresh water tank. Tried gluing the old one with a glue advertised for rv water tanks but it didn’t hold.
Got a quote from my dealer for $400 plus $500 to $600 shipping 🙁. Bought mine from RecPro for $400 and free shipping. Same brand they GD uses for my model. (Apex)

How did you get past the metal baffle to get the fans out?
