Here are pictures of our new TM. You'll notice that it doesn't have the typical graphics because the person that ordered this originally asked TM not to put them on there.

Very nice. Congratulations! So that last picture is the best explanation I’ve ever seen as to why there is such a gap between the bathroom wall and the side wall... So you don’t have to take the shower curtain down! Ours isn’t up, we’ve never used it.

Very nice-looking unit. To my surprise, I find that I don't miss the graphics.

Like mine, it appears that your unit doesn't have the backup lights wired in. The factory assured me that they would be doing so in the future. But in the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to snake the wires from behind the refrig (where they are capped off) to the rear wall where the tail lights are. If I can do it, I'll change out the taillight fixtures to ones with backup lights. If you come up with an idea, let me know, please.

I see there are no vents on the front shell, interesting. Good looking rig and I agree with Bill on the missing graphics.

Bill- Disconnect one of the wires to each tail light at the refrigerator. Attach new tail light wires and a reverse light wire to each disconnected wire. SLOWLY pull the wires from the tail light end, which will then pull the new wires with it. Viola, you now have back up wires.

This may be even easier to do in two sections; one through the rear shell and one down the lift arm to the refrigerator cavity.

Kidkraz- I think they are now putting the fan on one side of the A/C and a vent on the other. They tried to get away from the vents since a hole in the roof is always a hole in the roof. But folks really wanted an extra vent, so that’s the design now...

Shane -

That seems possible - or at least nothing else seems likely. I would do it in two sections, as you suggested. My concern is that there may be sharp edges somewhere in the path that would cut the new wires as they go through. (The original wires may be protected in a sleeve.)

And one thing I learned long ago, when I was pulling new wires through residential stud walls. Don't pull a wire with another wire! If it breaks while you are pulling, you have no recovery. Instead, use the original wire to pull TWO strong strings. Mono-filament nylon is good, because it is strong, slippery, and very flexible. As you feed the strings in, be sure they go in side-by-side, and don't get twisted. If the pull gets jammed part way through, you can use these strings to pull the original wire back. Once you get the two strings through, immediately tie off one of them on both ends, and use the other to pull the new wires. The tied-off string is your recovery string. If the first string breaks, use the second one to pull TWO new strings, then continue as before.

When I have finished the job, I generally leave the recovery string in place, bundled up and out of sight. Who knows when it might come in handy again.

Wish me luck.

Bill

Congratulations! I hope to find our new to us TM soon!

If I can suggest, take pictures of all your appliance info tags. Once I got my rig home I opened it up and took pictures of just about everything. It helps to have a quick picture/reference which has serial numbers and model info when you have to search for info on said product. I read someones post on the trailer axel repair they had to do. They were not sure of the model or serial number since it was an old TM. After reading that hick up, I went out and got a shot of the axel product tag, so I have the serial number if I had to get a say no-adjust brakes for the rig. It can also help for insurance needs.

Good idea! I also wrote down all of my serial numbers on a page that came with the TrailManor for the appliances.
