Got the trailer home after new axles. Nice lift. Plus a broken window but that was free of charge.
Before axles on bottom!
After axles on top!

Got Boscam rear view camera for ‘76 Argosy. Nice for additional view but still can look through trailer windows front to rear.

Vintage Airstreams often have no exterior compartments (mine included) save the bumper box. Sooo...
I have new 5 gal buckets! One to store chocks and blocks in and a second for electrical and water hose. When camped, they fit under the trailer and one can be used as a trash can - always handy.
These 2 cans (I know, such excitement) tuck into my step when it's inverted in the door entryway (lobby, foyer?) for travel which makes them handy to get to; first things needed when parking.
Buckets are useful! Wash a fish, tote some water, dump in a bag of ice and chill down some beer, sodas or champagne, landing zone for muddy boots, use as a "basket" to collect seashells, kindling or take it trick or treating - endless.

That Rogue step looks to be just what I've been looking for!

I got the 12" and shortened it a bit. Strong... durable. Wish it were a little cheaper.

We got a new plexiglass and gorilla tape window on day 2 of our 6 week trip!

Not necessarily for our atomicBlonde but for our tow vehicle.
Got a dash cam and adapter for the mirror so I didn’t have to use a trim removal tool at all!

Nice! I added those last winter during storage time and couldn't be happier. They worked better than expected and now the always-in-the-way mini-blind will be coming out permanently.

I'm looking at replacing the door window to clear and adding Zarcor shade. This would be a added security with being able to see out without opening the door.

I was looking at shoji screens and decided they weren't practical, but noticed Amazon has many choices in FLEXIBLE CURTAIN TRACKS that would be perfect for front and rear window curtains. If you are thinking about sewing your own, look at these.
Finally got confirmation my new dish drainer is coming from Bed,Bath &Beyond. Will review it as soon as I use it the first time. Hope it is easy to store in a small space.

Sorry this happened. But thanks for sharing as now I have another thing to add to my "never do this" list!

I was thinking about this the other night when a thunderstorm forced me to close up things. It felt a bit...contained...and another window would have been nice! Keep us posted! Does it have to be a special material to withstand the slamming and shape of the door?

Ok, KT latch on my ‘76 Argosy 26 over sprung again by some unknown scoundrel trying to gain entrance, so broke pull lever on handle vertical bolt pull pin. Yikes, so got new pin and hope to remove old, drill roll pins out, and install new, a real head ache, but an adventure..
