I guess it depends on how you define a ‘hijack’.
Although dogs are wonderful additions to a family, many users come to this thread when they see new posts hoping to read about equipment they might find useful for their Airstream.

Fixing Windows
New to the Forum and not sure how to start a "thread"..but need help. We have two 1976 31' Sovereign's. The tinting on the inside of almost all of the dual-pane windows is bubbled and peeling. Any advice on solutions from anyone? Replacing all the windows is big$$ and hope there may be another option. Thank you and sorry to tag on to your thread.

About the dogs. I guess one should have labeled them as a new protection system and all would be well.

Trax Power Dolly
Today my Trax power dolly was delivered. Yes, it was expensive but a lot cheaper than $10K worth of concert to enlarge our driveway, and no more worries about denting the Airstream.

Others in the 23D thread have reported that this mod does stop hammering and other vibration noise. I didn’t get it installed yet but will reply once I’m finished.

I installed this setup earlier this year on our 2016 27FB Flying Cloud. I would say it was definitely worth the cost and the labor was pretty simple. The pump is about 50% “quieter “ and the pump seams to cycle less frequently. I and the Mrs. are very pleased with the performance improvement.
The accumulator is basically a shock absorber and the hoses are softer than the Pex tubing so the pump and plumbing is more isolated from bouncing off a cabinet or mounting surface. Coil the hose like a pigtail. The necessary fittings cane with the hose kit. Definitely a DIY project[emoji1303]

I just ordered two pull-out kitchen organizers for a remodel. They are 19 1/2" tall which is about perfect for over a wheel well and under a counter top. They're several different configurations on sale right now and priced very nicely but the sale seems to disappear as they sell out of stock.

WeBoost Drive RGX RV dual antenna
Finally determined this WeBoost version the one for us in rv and mobile use. Fabricated removable telescopic pole and side mount to awning. Reaches 20ft (10ft above AS)
Bought separate Yagi 75ohm antenna to switch out to If really remote and need a higher gain directional. Which does make a difference
In range/speed testing at fringe areas, got a 3x up/down speed improvement and 2-3 bars boost. Sweet !!

I would be interested in the design of the pole Vantair.

Yes, please post a pic of the pole setup if you would be so kind.

4riveteers, I've poked around online for the kit and can only find the tank at Shurfo and Sea Flo and the hoses at Shurflo. Any links for the kit are appreciated.
Did you opt for the Shurflo or the SeaFlo?

Troutboy, currently only 400 watts, I am doing this on my 2007 25' Safari and was not certain I had room for more. Now that the panels are up there, I believe that I could get 2 more panels if I removed the antenna (we have left room to expand). It has been a great project, so far, that was inspired by your thread (which I have read and reread). My maiden voyage will be October 12th-16th, boon docking in the Smoky Mountains with my youngest daughter.
