It's one of the electric base board heaters.  Db

Great setups. I like the adjustable legs to hold the door up. We have a rear facing happijac sofa/bed the deck would be a nice addition.

[quote source="/post/9069/thread" author="@thudd3r" timestamp="1428626490"]for the top there is just enough room below the gutter to mount them to the header/frame (which is thick aluminum with nothing behind it to interfere).  drill 2 holes per track while placing the end of the track as close to the outer edge of the door opening as possible.  there is a support on the inside right at the outer edge that you will want to avoid.  for the tracks on the doors you can use the flat edge on the frame.  again drill 2 holes for each track through the door.  if your holes are centered on the flat edge they will be in the aluminum frame around the on the outer edge of the door on the outside.  i believe i measured 1 or 1.5' down from the top edge of the door for the placement of the tracks.  

i haven't experienced any stretch yet, but have plenty of track to move the cables up if it ever happens

let me know if you need more pics[/quote]Thanks, that makes sense. I'll have to take a closer look at mine this weekend and decide if I want to tackle it!

db -- a washer & a sauna! That's freak'n awesome! My hat's off to you and your bride for turning what could have been a considered a disability into awesome show of strength. All you need now is one of those inflatable hot tubs (with a UV disinfection system -- no chlorine -- and you will make the awesome campers hall of fame.  :)  It makes me happy to read your story. Cheers!

Do you have any pictures of the wall in between the sections? or Any details on the specs of it.

We are hopefully in the process of buying one also and seems like something we would really like.

Hi Tag9147 -- You are asking about the wall between the garage area & the living area, right? Well the answer is the typical LivinLite manufactured Toy Hauler doesn't separate the areas. When the toys are removed the 'garage' becomes part of a large, spacious, open-plan layout that offers considerably more elbow space than even bigger models from other manufacturers that incorporate a wall in their designs.

You can see all the plans and interior/exterior pics at the LivinLite website: [a href="http://www.livinlite.com/toy-haulers.php"]link[/a]

Was under the impression one of the mods that DB had done was a wall installed in-between his toy-hauler area, where the sauna and washer and dryer is. But maybe the door in the picture he posted was for something else sorry my mistake.

Hi Tag9147 - Okay I understand now. db did write that they did have a wall separating their 'garage' (sauna + washer area) from the living space. db's pics do not show that wall. Hopefully db will see your request and post a picture or two.

If you had a wall would you put a vehicle in the 'garage' part? It would seem that unless the toy hauler is big such a wall could reduce the flexibility.

The garage part is going to house at least 3 dog crates. We have 3 adult dogs German Shepherds right now and a puppy. Also hoping to be able to fit a small grill as our team does a lot of group dinners.

The idea of the wall would keep the fur and dust in the back and out of our bed and food.

[attachment id="853" thumbnail="1"]Hey, tag9147.  We do indeed have a wall and door btwn the garage area and the living area.  Got the idea from looking at the various floor plans on LL website, as I recall one of the camp lite models had such a wall.  I just looked though the LL website and could not find it, may have changed floor plans.  At any rate I just asked LL if they could such a wall in and they agreed.  It does eliminate the ability to put toys in the back, but as u can c from my other posts that wasn't a priority for us.  Originally LL was going to do a 24 inch door, I asked for a 30 inch door.  Couple things to consider...  We asked for the wall to be insulated, since the back was not heated or a/c'd. Also the door they put on has a couple inch gap btwn the bottom of the door and the floor.  You would have to cover that some how to keep dog hair out, piece of plastic or something.  Brian McKibbin at Moore's custom trailer in nappanee IN was the dealer we worked through, he'll remember the trailer with the sauna in it.  He's a great guy to work with if want, and, no, we're not related.

Hey Rick,

The best information would come direct from the dealer and the factory. The last bit of information I had seen suggested that the 'no wood' claim is accurate for nearly everything, however I think the ramp door is an industry standard part. So the short answer is that you will need/want to get a definitive answer from your dealer. I know over the last couple years there have been plenty of changes to the manufacturing process and the parts used so its possible this changed as well.

Curious. What error do you receive?
