Jim Lincoln from the 'Winnebago Revel 4x4' Facebook group has created a better support mechanism for the outdoor table. Below are his schematics and a video that I took of his new invention. Looks like a big improvement to me, hereafter referred to as the 'Lincoln Leg'.
Our 2018 Revel has a 2nd roof vent instead of air conditioning, and that's been great for us. However, it's clear that it's a source of heat loss in the winter, and there are times when we'd like to block the light that comes through the vent cover.
I bought an Adco 18" Vent Cover, but didn't like the velcro patches that they shipped with it - - it was prone to falling off the vent.
It seemed to me that some snaps would be better, so I got some simple snaps for the job.
I used the existing screws in the vent, but added snap heads to them.
I added snaps to the vent cover, using an awl to align & punch the holes, and now it's a tighter, more secure fit. An easy job, it took about 45 minutes or so.
I don’t like that the inverter is always on when the van is plugged into shore power (too easy to accidentally start the stove, etc).
I've learned that by changing the inverter’s ‘PS’ setting to ‘PS4’, you can turn the inverter off while plugged into shore power.
Full details are in pages 25-27 of the Inverter Rev 2 manual (CSW2012-X), found here.
