For nostalgia's sake, I always remember those little Tupperware salt and pepper shakers going along when I went camping with my folks as a kid.
Now that I'm older (a LOT older), the thought of these just warms my heart; they're something that remind me of my Mom and Dad, and how tickled they would have been that we now own an Airstream - something they dreamed about.
They'll go nicely with the Salsa cushions - which are on-order.
And because we have a dog who's a messy eater, I got a PetComfort feeder for her (in Salsa red, naturally). It's now parked next to the pantry, in front of the range. No more kicking the dog water all over the floor...
They're 100% Made In USA, and made from NSF materials; so they're actually rated for human use, unlike some bowls out there. Made by WeatherTech, so they're high quality.

Forgot to mention - I got the Beech Lane version of the curved levelers. I like them much better than the Camcos I got to replace my Andersens, and an improvement over the Andersens is the grip strip that meets your tires when rolling up on them. Worked perfectly! I do wonder how long that grip strip will remain in tact - we’ll see...

And also forgot to mention - I replaced my all brass 90 degree hose connection with one like this (I don’t think this was the brand because I think I paid $10, not $20). I like that it has an on/off valve too. The angle lets you connect the hose without any strain on the end connecting to your trailer. I got this and the Beech Lane levelers about a month ago I think. Used both since I got them.

I have the Beech Lane levelers and like them very much. The tape doesn't stay on but looks great when first applied. At least ours didn't stay on most likely due to tire debris. I had tape left over so I have now reapplied the remainder but it isn't a big deal I don't believe in their function. Just one time did I have them slip on gravel when trying to back up on them. They are easy to get between axles on our trailer even with the 16" tires. Good product in my opinion.

Was reading about trailer tire pressure and run pops, scary thoughts. So I ordered this carry air compressor.

Those Tupperware salt and pepper shakers do bring back a lot of memories. May I ask where you found them?

I happened to find them on Amazon, of all places. I had been checking around periodically, and some on eBay look like they've seen better days... These came yesterday, and my wife commented that "they're 1970s colors", which is very OK by me. She also said that they were in what was probably the original bag.
These were to be my second and last try. I previously got some others that were much newer, and nowhere near this "classic" design.

Got ourselves a nice Dutch Oven table from a company called Chuckwagon Supply out of Idaho. Comes with side racks, a wind shield and a nice carrying cover. Also ordered some brass tags for our Dutch Ovens to keep em organized when we go to a large gathering when there are multiple pots and lids.
Also got two horseshoe trivets from Kent Rollins out of Oklahoma.
Going to use them at home first, maybe Thanksgiving rally then likely on the New Year's rally.
Yum yum

Well, THAT post was definitely a "hi-jack" ... as it has nothing to do with anything you bought for your trailer.
I'm buying seven new panels to replace the hail damage suffered this summer. (along with the labor to replace them at one of our advertisers here! A&P!)

I installed 170 degree open hinges on closet door that opens to the kitchen.
I installed 1/16" rubber mat on rear storage door.

Great idea.
Where purchased and what material is the mat? Assume it comes on a roll. How did you affix to the door?
