The Front Lounge
We quickly realized that the front area in our 2017 Lexor TS could be put to better use while camping. To provide more versatility we installed a platform to extend the floor space, added a Lagun table and installed an AC outlet with a built in USB charger. We tried two different table tops. The first one was a 24″ round table that you can see in the last image below. The second oneLearn More
RV Sewer Hose Storage
Our 2017 Lexor TS was originally equipped with a rather short RV sewer hose storage tube that would allow us to carry a five foot hose at best. The tube also had a small diameter that limited our choice of aftermarket connectors. I replaced the tube with an adjustable length storage tube that would allow us to adjust the length from 43″ to 80″. The extra length proved to be helpful for both storageLearn More
Rear Corner Panels
The rear corners on our 2017 Lexor TS were covered with some plastic panels that provided access to the back of the taillight assemblies. I thought the area could be put to better use so I designed some custom rear corner panels to fit the space. They have added some nice functionality where none existed before. The panels are made out of 1/4 inch thick poplar and are finished them with some black stainLearn More
E&P Automatic Leveling System
We have found that that we are more comfortable and that the systems in our little Class B work better when we are level. Early on in our ownership experience we found that it was not possible to use leveling blocks where we wanted to stay. Urban sites presented the biggest challenge. There just wasn’t much room to move back and forth in a 22 foot parallel parking space with a 21 foot van. WeLearn More
Hinging the Access Cover
Our wintertizing valve access bay was covered with a panel that was mounted with four screws. I’ve always thought that there might be a better way and finally got around to making the improvement today. Here are the steps that I followed: I removed the paneling drew a vertical line 1/8 of an inch and 3/4 of an inch from the left edge. I measured 2.5″ down from the top and the bottom and drewLearn More
Automation
Our 2017 Pleasure-Way Lexor TS is equipped with a Spyder Controls multiplex board. The board provides centralized control and fusing for the DC appliances throughout the van. Each control panel is connected to the board with a low voltage network cable instead of the heavier copper wiring that more traditional switches and controls require. After about 4 years of use one of our control panels started to develop some issues so I contacted Spyder toLearn More
