Received the Everpure QC-2 under-counter filter bracket and attached faucet for our Avion. Not sure if ours ever had one, but the sink already has the hole required, the wall under the sink already has mounting screws, and there is a capped-off water line ready to use! I'm guessing each trailer was prepped for possible options?

Anyway, glad to get it. It was on EBay and had been available for at least a year from what I remember. It is in great shape and came with the bypass fitting that is used when a filter is not present. Finally decided to order it last Friday. It showed up at our door Monday!!!

Need to replace the copper line due to a split, and order a new filter cartridge. All in all, will have about $80 invested..... Not bad!

I got this idea from someone on this forum, not sure who it was...but today I picked up a small journal so I could list the parks we stay at, the dates we stayed there, and the prices and my impression of the parks. The idea is in the future to return to the good places and avoid the bad.

Purchased a few rolls of Reflectix rolled reflective insulation and cut an internal window shield for each window in the EB 25'. For use when parked for long periods of time or during high heat times while camping. Couldn't believe how easy it was to cut to size. Mounts between the screen and glass or between screen and shade.

Made a huge difference today in interior temp (almost 15 degree decrease)

Installed REPLACEMENT control board on our Progressive hard wired surge protector.

It even worked when completed!!! Test phase has begun.

Progressive has good support... But do not cover defective part return shipping....

Went to Lowes and got new clear knobs for the Avion's bathroom Delta sink and shower faucets to replace the originals that had gotten cloudy looking.

Much better!

We did the same a month ago! So worth the little money, easy to fit and cut.

1 roll did every window on my 30' including stack Windows, panoramic Windows, vista view Windows, and skylights.
The roll was 4'x25'.

[QUOTE=jpons;1809876]I just got this 22" High Definition AC/DC TV to replace the one that came with my 20 footer. I am not sure why Airstream would install an AC only TV.

Here is the Amazon link

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We very rarely watch TV, but with Murphys law in full effect, every time was have wanted to watch something we did not have AC power. Just a few days ago I found this model for $135 on Amazon and installed it today and works perfectly. We could have gone with a larger model as I am sure that at least the 24 inch and maybe the 32 inch would fit. But for the occasional times we use it the 22" is fine.

As a side bonus, this unit only weighs in at 4.5 lbs vs. the 11 lbs of the original Samsung. 6.5 lbs is not much but I bet the strain on the mounting arm is greatly diminished. The only issue I had mounting this is that I needed to use shorter screws to

jpons, thanks...timing is everything as they say. I've started some research on another TV. First thought was a 2nd tv for the BR...then to moving the OEM to the bedroom. This AC/DC mode is a great value and offers ultimate flexibility.

Bob

What did you get for your Trailer today?

After completing my first 2000 mile trip with the Airstream Arvika front bike rack installed I was not comfortable with the amount of road flex. Ordered, received and installed the Telescoping support arm from Racksforcars.com. First impression is that it will certainly be an improvement. The rack now feels very solid with no undesirable flexing. Road test shortly. Another benefit will be that I can now safely carry my inflatable Advanced Elements kayak on the rack. Freeing up some valuable space in the Jeep . Click image for larger version

Hmm, mine came with that front support. But mine is a 3 place rack.

Mine is a 2 bike rack using only one of the mounts. The flex was probably not a real issue but it was just annoying watching the rack and bike bounce around. I think the most tangible benefit will being able to now carry the kayak on the rack without worrying about it overloading. It has become so easy justifying spending money on the trailer.

I've thought about carrying the generators on there. Without bikes, of course

I like it, Sounds like a good idea. They make a cargo rack attachment to use in place of the upper bike rack section.

I think just a thin piece of Luan on the bike tracks would do it. And a couple motorcycle straps.

Too simple, this is Airforums where everything is over engineered, critiqued and beat to death. (Personally I think that sounds like a great idea)
