General Ecology's (the maker of the Seagull marine and RV water filter systems) Nature Pure faucet and H2O filter. I was a little nervous drilling a hole in the Corian countertop but it was easy with a new holesaw.

I haven't run across this in this thread so I offer this for your consideration.
UDAP's bear spray. Stored by the door with holster for leaving the trailer with it close by.


Attachment 377753



Happy Upgrading

Dave,
I like the holder you have for the bear spray. Where did you find it? I have always carried bear spray in the trailer but have never seen a bracket/holder like the one you installed. The placement of the bracket is excellent!

It's from UDAP, it is a bike water bottle mount. There are two rivet heads on the back of the bracket so I used a double layer of 3M VHB tape to mount it, no holes in the door.

Dave, I just noticed the scrubber holder ?? on the side of the sink. Where did you locate it? I presume a mag maybe glued on the exterior of the sink holds it in place but allows for removal?


Thx


Bob

Thanks Dave. I wonder if i could hold it with a mag on the other side. It would be nice to be able to remove for sink cleaning. Thx for the link.

Bought and installed new Goodyear Endurance tires at Town Fair Tires. Then filled my propane tanks at Tractor Supply. I’m feeling happy.

I been working on a few projects and purchases while not able to travel since March due to Covid-19 and some health issues. While not something I purchased today, I’ve added;

1. Zamp 90W solar panel on my roof to compliment the 2 factory 90W Zamp panels.
2. Victron MPPT 100/30 solar controller / Victron Smart Battery Sense / Solar Cutoff/ 40 Amp circuit breaker under the curbside twin bed access panel.
3. 12V Cigarette Lighter socket at the foot of the street side bed to charge my Yeti Goal Zero 1000 while travelling or by solar when boondocking when the sun allows.
4. Luci Solar String Lights. This is a 18 foot / 10 light cord that is charged by solar or USB port. It has 3 dimmable lighting options. It can be found on Amazon or Airstream Supply Store.

Love my Luci lights. I have the inflatables and the newer string light. Quality products.

Neat LED light/Bug Zapper

Check these out. I picked up 4. Hang a couple of them from the awning and set the others under the awning. Just using the bug zapper, they lasted over 10 hours. Search Amazon for Stansport 2 in 1 Lantern Bug Zapper.

Have to check these out too! I have one of those tennis racket bug-zappers, but tend to use it on my unsuspecting spouse more so than I do on bugs.

Curious about the Yeti. So is it basically a rechargeable battery with inverter and outlets built in?
