What Did You Get For Your Trailer Today?

[Airtandem]

got 12.2 on last trip ; 60 mph rolling hills, 90 degrees in the Expedition Max, 3.5 echo.


Enjoyed the ride, more like a Limo than truck/SUV. I thought my Ram 1500 was great, but .......

$5 storage solution.
I recently switched to the Camco Rino-Flex sewer hose. I got the two 10' sections.
Storing it was a challenge because although it clicks together, it doesn't stay together.
So with $5 worth of PVC pipe parts, I created the Rino-Flex holder.

Getting ready for a big trip at the end of summer. (Bourbon Trail Caravan) Ordered a few things, and changed a few things. First up, firmer replacement foam for the seating areas of our 27 ft FC FB. A gas strut to hold up the bathroom vanity. A Progressive Industries ems surge protector. Vent covers for the Fantastic fans. A Renogy 200 watt solar suitcase. Battery led lanterns. And a bunch of heavy duty plastic boxes to organize tools and stuff in the back of the truck.

Because I boondock most of the time, I am always looking for ways to save electricity...

I was torn between this and the Rizzio but liked the colors better (how smart is that???) But I used it this week on my trip to Maidstone SP (FedEx delivered an hour before departure!!!) where it was hilly with slightly gravelly/rocky dirt roads and it was a wonderful ride! Behaves very nearly like a big bike and folds up nicely.

Just bought two of these collapsible tubs from Wakeman:


They are collapsible and two of them fit side by side in my sink... One for soapy water and one for dish water.

$15.57 each at Amazon with Prime, free shipping:

I think this might have been from a post someone else put on here, but worth repeating:



I bought this as the alternative to Ford’s $750 wiring harness and sensors. I put the sensors on my Classic 33, and towing it with a Ford F350 CrewCab so you it’s definitely good at a distance. Works GREAT and only spent $70 on it. Here’s the Amazon link:

Love this little solar inflatable lantern:

Great for hanging from the awning, setting on a picnic table, or using many to outline your campsite... Because they are collapsible they take up very little space and cost $20 on Amazon:

Interesting. Any idea why they say not suitable trailer or RV?

Al, I have no idea... The only thing I can think of is it has something to do with distance. However, I have what is probably one of the longest rigs and they work very well for me!

The idea of a LED strip above the front cabinet has been percolating for a while.
I found the solution, and it's an adhesive strip with imbedded LEDs. You can dial up the color and adjust the brightness using a remote. It's powered from a USB port, so I just drilled into the top of the cabinet above the DVD. You can't see it when off because the cabinet top is above eye level.
Amazon $13.

In my mind it would illuminate the wood back panel above the cabinet. I didn't realize that it would also shine on the curved aluminum roof.
I can't decide if it's too much.

Thanks for posting these, i just ordered 2 in blue.

[Mollysdad]

Someone posted an idea about a simple AC voltage monitor.
It sounded like a great idea, so I got this one. It just plugs into an outlet.
Amazon has 4 that look identical, even say DM55-1. The price ranges from $4 to $16.
Being cheap, er, frugal, I got the $4 one. Plugged it in at home and it read 120acv so I didn't adjust it.

Doed it read D/C also? Wondering because it reads 120 a/c Volts?

Thanks

Since the majority of our camping is boondocking on our land in the southern part of our State, finally broke down and purchased a purposely designed generator for Skyking. Now we can run the AC and the microwave at the same time. Got a little over 7 hrs on the first 20# propane tank. Gas next time!
