How many Dale Helman mods do you have?

Dale has contributed so much to improving our T@b experience, I thought it would be fun for Dale to see how manuly of us have his mods at work.

I have the fishing rod flag pole holder, am working on the window guard, and have made arrangements to pick up one of his plates to do the leveling jack mod.

The portable drill tongue jack (my favorite mod) and the single discharge sewer drain.

Plumbing vent conversion to allow tank flush! Brilliant!

Dalehelman · June 2018

This is to funny.

None, yet, but working on it!

None yet, but I want to do the single dump mod at some point. If I were closer to Ucamp by 2000 miles we'd be gettin' 'er done!

I voted 3, but then realized I have four:
1. P-trap replacement
2. Rear wire shelf
3. Door strut
4. Drill jack handle replacement
Probably more coming.
Not the first time I've said this, but thanks again, Dale! 👍👏

I see what you are doing there, trying to flush me out of hiding.😎

We are full time wet siders, part time dry siders (Leavenworth). We'll be passing through mid July, maybe I can buy you a cold one. Wait, that's @Ericnliz. 😀

@Dalehelman you are an amazing mentor and definitely the King of Tab mods! I just used my tank flush mod this afternoon. Works like a charm! I’m usuing the safety pin to keep the pipe insulation piece from disappearing down the tube. Since I know it works I’m going to attach it with silicone on the bottom half, keeping the top flexible for various hose widths. It’s a great backflow preventer!

My 2018 CS-S came with a single dump - so every new T@b owner from last year on thanks you, @Dalehelman.

Dalehelman · June 2018

The best part of a new idea. Is seeing how you folks take an idea and put your own spin on it. Sharing is the best part.

We have none yet but should be coming back from ÜCamp 18 with 4. P-trap replacement, single dump valve mod, jack handle mod, and coleman 15' x 15' dome with custom leg extensions so the dome clears the t@b ih height. More to come. I think @Dalehelman is a tenured professor at t@b university. Either that, or he's Nücamp's west coast senior r & d consultant under a non-disclosure agreement. I vote we give him the platinum patch for t@b modification excellence. Just sayin'.

@dragonsdofly
Sharing Ideas allows me to feel useful as I get older. Thank you

@Dalehelman, I only speak the truth. I'm sure many others would agree.

It's gettin' to the point that I have a hard time keepin' track of all @Dalehelman's helpful hints & mods! A HUGE thanks to Dale for all the help & advise you've given to not only myself, but a lot of others as well. I feel very fortunate to have you close enough for "hands-on" help & pointers.

Not really a mod. I use the bed sleeping arrangement, that still allowes 1/2 of the floor space between benches. Thanks Dale!

Remember ....this IS. Your plumbing vent, and should not be sealed. Dies that rubber gasket press up against the door?

4ncar · June 2018

My version...what can’t be seen is that I epoxied window screen to the back of the lid to keep vermin & such from going thru the holes I drilled

Is there a tutorial on here for the tank flush mod? I can't find one.

Dalehelman · June 2018

Search: How I flush my black water tank. Sorry I do not know how to link to it.

Try this.

@4ncar I do know it’s a vent for both tanks, and the cover is not sealed or airtight. It’s not a rubber gasket, it’s pipe insulation which is split at the top. It is not flush with the door. It’s also the same hatch recommended by @Dalehelman, reconfigured at my own risk. Thanks for your concern. 😊

Dale's window guard, complete!

Dalehelman · June 2018

Very cute and so is your window guard.
Do you plan on securing the ends similar to the way I did?

Sharon_is_SAM · June 2018

Nice job Jenn!

First use of my Flag Pole Holder.

Works just like mod expert, @Dalehelman, said it would . . . . . .

Yes, but after this trip...I need to cut more off of the metal strips and I ran out of time. The window film was disaster. I will just clean the window before putting the cover on, for now.
