What Did You Get For Your Trailer Today?

[lemley]

Added a light and fans to the fridge. The fans are on a digital controller. Come on at 50 and turn off at 41. The light is on a door switch which I also used to turn off the fans when the door is opened. That way I don’t blow out the cold air when the door opens.

How do you like it?
What hitch did you replace?

After finally getting new tires, new extended valve stems and new batteries for the tire monitoring system, I broke down and ordered the VIAIR 400P-RV compressor from Amazon. Outrageous price, but I had a 3 gallon 100max PSI pancake compressor from Harbor Freight and it took over an hour to check and fill all my tires (6) on my Interstate. The VIAIR is supposed to be the best. Will see.

Built in lithium recharging lasts 3+ months and quick magnetic mounting strips for charge and portability.

Works great and no more dark corners now even for the fridge when full !

Thanks for the tip! These work great!

It’s our first rig and our first hitch so I have nothing to compare to. We did a little 3 day 2 night 180 mile round trip up I-93 and over into the lakes region on NH. First time pulling and camping. No problems at all. No sway and the trailer tracks beautifully. Our intention is to go full time before the snow flies up here so we are figuring it all out.

I do like the way the hitch worked. I can back it up no problem (former trucker).

I did do something new yesterday. I’m putting on bug screens on the water heater and furnace outlets as recommended by an experienced camper we met with a 1990 Excella. Thanks Jerome if you read this.

I think you might have this backwards. I bought the Airstream as a fly fishing accessory.

It was 30 years old and affordable. Afterwards we found out we like just going camping in it. (Afterwards = lots of money and time upgrading and updating).

Or do I have it backwards?

I often say, I have an airstream to be able go where I want to fly fish.

And, I fly fish to be able to use our airstream.

Either way, our airstream is named the Fly Fish Inn.

I purchased a flag holder from John Leake. Great craftsmanship! Can hold three flags. Just put in a temporary flag pole for the picture.

I think my 2017 uses the same laminate. Did you buy "Wilson Art Landmark Wood"?
Finish? Fine Grain???

Nice. Is Colin installing them? I tried to schedule the same with him a year and a half ago and his assistant(?) kept calling me over and over asking for clarification, same questions, etc. It was pretty kooky so I gave up. How was your interaction there?

[Hittenstiehl]

Farafield, a local trailer maintenance shop is doing the install. Yes (Colin's Shop) is busy and they field so many vintage questions but great to work with. So knowledgeable.

Nice. I don’t know if you are a “behind the dash” kind of person but it is pretty easy to put a connector on the cable for that monitor. I’ve got mine wired to an upfitter switch and I plug the monitor into the ceiling when I’m towing (I made a bracket so the monitor hangs from my rear view mirror).

I got an insurance policy against something I've never had a problem with in over 30 years of RVing

I feel your pain.
But it just meant your number was about to come up!
