Some may scoff & disagree BUT....it got all the oxidation off and left a smooth bright finish.
Not the best option for applied roof coatings.

Bob where do you get the car wash at? Is that an autoparts store item?

Amazon

Or direct

I've ordered from both...they are the same concentrated formula,(1oz/wash), different labels for some reason.
A great wash for the AS, a sooper slippery formula that won't scratch and rinses easily.
I use with a microfiber mitt & mitt on a pole.

Some Auto parts stores also carry Griot's products..Pep boys NAPA etc.

All products 1st rate.

Well....

...not exactly for the AS, more like for the OF that works on it. 5 vehicles with 4 wheels each was a bit much for this old DAV. Plus all the other maint that requires lifting.😳
Used it for the first time today to raise the AS to replace the leaking grey tank valve...woop woop 👍
Although a bit heavier than my MacJack, with the larger wheels it's a lot easier to move.

Got a few more details on that jack, Bob? Source, model, etc?

As a fellow OF, it looks useful to save back strain...

I found it on Amazon but it was out of stock, went to ebay and ordered it from Mile-X Equipment...the ebay link. Not cheep..but above average quality.
Some assembly required.😏
Not the normal HF offering

Lost lift handle

It took 7 years, but I finally drove off without my lift handle for the WD hitch. It probably helped that it was all black like my bumper cover. $12 - $18 for a new one? Piffle! One salvage set of handlebars, a hacksaw, some reflective tape, and - VIOLA! Two new handles, harder to lose...

What Did You Get For Your Trailer Today?

Got some stainless swag. Bought a Marinco outlet cover. Tired of looking at the plastic cover for the satellite and cable hook ups. Click image for larger version

Used the SeeLevel 709 3P I installed a few weeks ago dry camping at May Queen campground in Colorado. Made it five nights and knew where my tank levels were at all times. Great product!!

BTW, I used the wiring already installed for the MicroPulse and it worked fine.
