Technically for the TV, but will be another way to document the adventures on the road, in 2k video, and of course the geniuses driving that manage to never see a full size SUV pulling a polished 25ft Twinkie.

This is my first actual purchase is a hose.
I have used the hose that came with the "RV starter kit" for 6 years.
It is getting harder and harder for these tired old crippled hands to insert fittings and hose clamps.
I think I'm gonna like the already attached swivel fittings.
I will definitely like click click click to make it a little longer or a little shorter.
Been thinking on it for years.
Last trip out I decided I'd had enough of the old style hose.
I decided I would have a better hose the next trip out next weekend.
I asked myself why a man pulling a 30' Classic with a Tundra CrewMax Limited would have a raggedy sewer hose...

I bought that same hose after having problems with a previous one I bought that kept leaking. It's a qaulity hose.

Over the door plastic bag organizer.
Burlington Coat Factory

It clears the door top and shuts perfectly. I'm going to add rubber bumpers to keep the metal from rubbing against the wood.

Metal cutout from Michaels.
I'm going to weld metal stakes to the back and use a paint pen to track our travels. Of course I'll stake it when we set up camp.
Should I indicate the state or the city? I'm leaning toward the cities. Ya know, just to be different...

I used an online coupon for 50% off.

Sorry for the kitchen sink photo, needed something to lean against. It just arrived and we don't have a trip planned at the moment, at least not with the AS

Received the BAL stabilizer that I ordered for our Avion. The street-side front was damaged and missing the drop-down leg and foot ( by the previous owner ). Finally decided to order a new one.

Can't wait to get it installed this weekend. "One less thing", as my hero Forrest Gump says. 😀

Do you plan on setting that up at a "campsite"? The reason I ask is that I was shopping for a campsite the other day for an "overnight" stop with my AS and putting a very small tent next to it for added space. Nobody would allow it! I was really surprised.

Probably not at commercial campgrounds. I mostly stay at state and federal parks. Most allow.
