Since I'm only up to page 69 reading this forum this might already be answered but on my 2018 29M the charging station was wired backwards. I pulled it out and swapped the wires. Works great now.
BTW, thanks for all of the information you guys have put in this forum. It's given me a ton of great ideas and information.

Bathroom vent knob and exhaust van switches
DW could not reach the bathroom ceiling vent knob or exhaust fan rocker switch.
I changed out the switches to the pull chain type I got at Home Depot. I epoxy glued a PVC extension to the knob. I used a piece of 1 inch PVC pipe and painted it to match. Now it is better suited for the vertically challenged.

I thought about doing something similar. Maria is 5"2" I'm 6'4". After thinking about it I decided not to do it. I know I would hit my head on whatever I extended down. So now I just turn on the fan for her..
I would like to put I switch on the wall but feeding the wires down could be a pain. Not worth the effort.

I read that someone put in a switch operated by a wireless remote that they attached to the wall. If I were any taller I would have made a mechanism to off set the extension out of the way. Luckily I could keep it simple.

You could put in a Wireless switch (Amazon) and have a nifty keyfob looking thing to turn the fan on/off.
Here is a 2 channel one (although this one would have to be hidden away somewhere).
4 channels--control all your lights with a keyfob!

I hear all good about the Maxxair vents. I plan to replace the kitchen/dining area vent with one of those. The modifications to the vents in both coach bathrooms cost me less than $20 total.

SuperD,
I think I read in another thread that you have a washer/dryer combo unit in your 29M. We are looking at motorhomes, and the DW really wants a washer/dryer. Can you explain how and where you put it in your 29M.

Sorry I do not have a washer/dryer in this coach. The 29M is not plumbed or prepped to install a washer, closet is the only place it could go and it is not deep enough even if you wired and plumbed. Anything is possible but I'm afraid a washer in a 29M just isn't doable or practical.

eshark,
The 35M comes set up for washer and dryer. The closet is huge. It is wired and plumbed. We don't have washer/dryer.

Got this photo from iRv2. Guess this is a good example of having a bad day!!!
Wonder if they could start the motor on the boat and use it to push the coach out?

I saw this from an earlier post (I think on this thread) and decided to do it. However, I'm 5'10" and the wife is 5'2", so not as tall as you. I looked at the prospect of another wall switch and wiring, and decided this was an easier mod that got the job done.
I don't hit the fob, but again, I'm not 6'4". I shortened the chain by an inch or so after this photo to let the fob clear the medicine cabinet door.
The switch is just an on-off fan light switch. I used 2 ea. 3/8" flat washers and ground the sides to be oblong for covering the hole left from the original square switch. I also found some 3/16" spade connectors to connect the wiring.
