1-We got Frankie.

2-We got a folding travel kennel that is narrower than most and designed for vehicles.

Best part is that it will fit thru the Airstream door without having to fold it up and then re-open it. So we will be able to easily move from truck to campsite to Airstream.
(Note-we have it partitioned currently for puppy use)
Kennel is designed with doors on both ends, so you can put 2 of them side by side if you have an SUV.

OMG! Frankie is beautiful. He reminds me of Molly at that age, six years ago.
Probably not so good for vehicles but I've been using a folding pet crate that fits through the door, but made from fabric with a PVC frame. Standard size, so pet beds fit perfectly, and it folds down in a minute.
Noz2Noz. 36". It may not be for chewers, Molly is past that.

Costco ran a 3 day sale on the Motorola Talkabout T605 kit with rechargeable batteries and a case for $64.95 and free shipping.

We’ll be in some out of the way parks this year with no cell signal so these will come in handy when backing into sites.

This is East, but may be worth the time

I decided to increase my rooftop solar capacity, I ordered 2 more 90w Obsidian series solar panels from Zamp, they should arrive next week, but probably won't be installed until warmer weather persists in the mid-west. This will bring my (theoretical max) rooftop total to 480w. Too many non-sunny days to contend with, so I decided to add more panels to try and offset for the overcast days.

My preparations for 2021 camping continue. I finished few little projects today, and I’ve got a few parts arriving this week. Today, I had the propane tanks filled up, I installed a new Vizio smart HDTV in the bedroom, and I installed an Oxygenics shower head. I also bought a little dongle that allows my new television to connect to the stereo system via bluetooth.

This week, I’ll be receiving a custom filler cushion from Ultimate Airstreams to convert my dinette into a lounge. I’ll also be receiving a custom made runner rug for the center aisle from The Perfect Rug, and a custom made dog bed from Cushion Source that’s specifically designed to fit in front of our Airstream door, off the main aisle.

The first trip of 2021 will be here in no time!

Hi Dennis.

So where are you going on your first trip this year? Just curious.
And do you happen to have pictures of rug runner and the lounge area?

Thanks for sharing your projects!

You are correct! Can’t wait for our first trip!

More details on the dongle and how well that works, please.

I had some work done recently to include new domestic fans, skylight, new spare tire and new sealing on the roof

Ultraclassic · 02-27-2021, 04:43 AM

I bought 2 rolls of Led strip lights and connectors in 2 colour spectrums to convert my old flouresent light fixtures to LED with Two tone Soft and or Bright mode.

I need to order 7 switches ( my 30' ) is in storage and I think there is 3 in the hallway, 1 under kitchen cabinet, 2 in bathroom, 1 in Master (7 total )

Strangely, our newer Dometic DM2662 fridge & freezer doesn’t support any factory latches to prevent unwelcome opening while driving. (This happened only once to us.... which was enough).

Drew up 5 different ideas then wandered local hardware store hoping to find a “factory like” solution (with no buckles, straps, pull-cords etc...)

Then... there it was !

Same color, texture and able to be worked into the very solid metal frame moulding with a nice resistive single finger operation. $2.49 x 2 and some matching screws. BAM ! DONE !
Cost NOT the issue here but this even snugs the doors more solid when latched closed. Works / looks better than expected.

Most importantly Wife approved !!!

Plastic spatula handles became the latches?
