Well, interesting day. Temps hit 40F so I thought I'd take the opportunity to put the heat blankets on the batteries. Raised to hitch height to have more working room and was really really sad when I looked at the door side tires - rear was completely flat and bead was broken. I didn't have enough air pressure to pop the bead so took it off and headed to my local tire shop. No charge and after filling up and soap testing zero leaks. Go figure. Put my TPMS sensors back on again.
On the flip side, I also soap tested the Goosebox after discovering that the manifold connection wasn't even finger tight. Lots of tiny bubbles. Still going to put the new manifold on and a TPMS sensor, but good for now. There is absolutely no way the dealer tech soap tested anything like they said. What a shock - NOT.
Supposed to hit 50 tomorrow - blankets tabled for a day.Robin & John

I looked at welding onto the existing rack but decided that it wouldn't increase the racks capacity but would actually reduce it by the weight of the extra metal. When I get around to it I plan on sliding longer pieces of 1½" square tubing completely through the 2" square tubing that's welded to each frame rail. The 1½" tubing will be bolted to the frame itself in several places and extend past the frame and out the back of the RV. I can then slip 2"sq. tubing over the 1½" and pin it with hitch pins making it removable when not needed.
Here's a rough idea of what I'm thinking about....

What have I done to my Relfection as of late? Hummm..
Covered it for the season? Check.
Made a final payment? Check!
It was the most expensive thing I have done to date. Made a deal with the wife. I only want a mortgage payment, the usual monthly bills and 1 installment payment. The trailer was the installment since we got the vehicles paid off in 2020. Truck was in April. The wife's car was in October. We went down from 1200 a month in payments to 250. So I increased the 250 to 500 and have been paying that ever since. It knocked down the balance pretty quickly over the last 2 years. This month I was looking at getting a commuter vehicle for me to take the miles off the truck as I have been driving that pretty much for the last 4 years to work and so forth. I made a deal. I will trade the trailer loan for a vehicle loan in which the APR would be lowee than the trailer. Scheduled the final payment for December 15th. Got the overpayment check today. The title should be here shortly. It took us 4.5 years to pay off the trailer. Not bad considering when we bought it, we had a truck payment and a car payment.2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT CCSB 4x4 6.2 gasser 3.73 E locker

Installed battery heater elements. Unfortunately, close to 50F so I can't test them out yet.
Replaced another leaking TireLinc sensor - that makes two now. Leaks between the brass schrader and the plastic not the o-ring.Robin & John

Installed dirt prevention caps on all my suspension zerk fittings.
Learned that Curt makes axles, I have Curt 7k axles, I thought they would have been Dexter.
Dropped some of the underbelly to have a look. In my initial stages of installing a dryer vent through the floor of the garage, needed to make sure there isn't a tank in that location, I think I'm clear. I'll know for sure once I have all parts in hand and am ready to take more of the underbelly down.

I helped with the idea of going down for the dryer vent for someone on the forum years ago.
I heard the project went smoothly, but can't remember who it was.
I was a technician for 32 years fixing and installing coin washers and dryers in apartment and college laundry rooms. Just remember to measure, measure and measure. Drill a center pilot hole to make sure.
