Got the old rear bumper from my dads Blazer and retrofited the mounts for the Sonoma. Thought is was a bolt in but no.
Seems to sit lower and want to add some side gussets. Plates are 1/2 and 3/8 now. Little more cleanup too.

Yep, caught it early enough. I have some water based rust/primer that will get sprayed over it after basic cleanup, then coated.
Little work on it today, put a rear bumper on the sons truck. Was from my fathers S10 blazer so the reuse is cool.
Agree, that's a cool thing.

Neighbors have a new trailer with those windows, look nice. Sounds like how a mini split works.
What is a "space end"? Guess you mean a "spade".
Yes spade end... These new rooftop dometic units are actually heat pumps...Run in both directions. AC now and a tad bit of heat in the chilly months,

Playing with the flush mount windows. They work exceedingly well!

BTW, the thing was all wobbly, so I set it down on two automotive jackstands and a 52" piece of 2x6 fir and got most of the wiggle out of it. It is resting solidly in those jacks while still having all the electric post jacks still contacting the ground as well.

After that, I buttoned it all back up and with only an extension cord running from a 15 amp wall receptacle, I turned the thing on.
It ran flawlessly for about 35-40 minutes, when, fully satisfied it was working without issue, I turned it back off again.
This is a huge success, which means I can carry just my small 2K HF generator to power the AC if needed during this summer's adventures...Yippee!
