I really like those lighted switches. Was that a plug and play or require additional wiring? My switches seem to get bumped and I discover the scare light has been on all night!

the LP tank case is Aluminum . the A frame is steel.
this will create a voltaic contact that will increase rust and corrosion'

i added plastic cable wrap to the edge of the case. they are now isolated and no rust will appear

i also did the same for the bottom of both LP tanks so they don't rust against the base

Mopeka now makes rings for the propane tanks. Amazing no one had done so previously.

Did you have to get them custom made? Or a stock size available?

Why the lift? Will you you have to adjust the hitch and WD brackets as a result?

Fridge coil fans

My sisters installed these for us this weekend and coming back into almost 100 degree Phoenix they flipped on and kept the fridge at 36 degrees on propane.

Relatively easy install with self-tapping screws. As long as we remember to put the batteries on "storage mode" so they don't come on when the trailer is in storage.

Sorry didn't take pictures... if anyone wants to see how they are mounted (both inside the bottom vent area) ping me and I'll take a picture and post.

We currently have to store Trilla 175 miles away so to have her with us was a must!

Brabantia drying rack

New drying rack just delivered. Now we don't have to use the awning extension bars to dry our towels!

Designed for doors and home radiators, but fits great on an AS window. Fully adjustable, fits perfectly, and folds flat.

rich.dev,

Yes, it appears to be aluminum. It is well built and adjustable. Info says it holds 16 lbs but I doubt I'd ever have that much weight hanging on it.

Clever idea. However, some places prohibit drying racks, so be sure to ask.

@VeloBuckeye my spouse does not life those rack as they are too close to the dirty skin of the AS.
towel etc will simply blow against the dirty trailer

IMHO, a simple folding drying rack held on by bungy chords to a picnic table
