USB Charge Outlet

Smartphones, tablets, iPads have created a basket full of USB chargers. We found this little number through our home automation supplier a couple of months ago. At the time, they only had white available. But now black ones, which will work in our coach, have been released and are due to be shipped in a couple of weeks!

Simple Green and Aluminum

sg-image

Untreated aluminum has very good corrosion resistance primarily because it forms a thin (but tough) oxide layer that prevents further oxidation. This aluminum oxide layer is mostly impermeable and it adheres aggressively to the parent metal. If damaged mechanically, the aluminum’s oxide layer self repairs!

Here are a few pics of the resonator install, this is what worked on a 2003 with tag axle. Different years will have different pipe diameters coming off the turbo, etc, so do your homework before you buy parts.

WiFi Ranger

We installed a WiFi Ranger in our coach to improve reception of weak WiFi signals and lower power campground signals. At the time this was the WiFiRanger Home and WiFiRanger Mobile (really a Ubiquity Bullet with custom firmware) combination. Later we updated this to the Go2 combination, mainly due to a poor firmware update which bricked our Ranger.

We replaced our kitchen faucet with a Grohe Ladylux Plus and we love it! We had a functional/aesthetic height restriction to no more than 13” because of an upper cabinet, located above the sink.

Progressive EMS

We used to use a portable Surge Guard to protect our coach from campground electrical issues, it served us very well. On one trip it suffered some plug damage to the female 50amp connector. Unfortunately that connector was part of a fully molded cable that terminated inside the “permanently” sealed case.

To fix it required complete disassemble of the unit to replace the damaged connector. Although I was successful in opening the “permanently” sealed case and replacing the damaged end, and fully re-weather proofing the unit, we knew it would have to be replaced, but we did get another year out of it!

Wet Bay Access Hatch

I always told myself that next time I had to remove those wet bay panels I would add an access panel. The panel allows me easy access to the dump valves in the case of a cable issue, and a way to replace the tank level sensors without having to remove the large cover panels (which is what Foretravel does).

Atwood Ladder End Caps

Several of our Atwood ladder step ends were cracked and the ladder rung could actually fail as a result. Its very dangerous to use a ladder with broken parts. Those creaks you hear when climbing need to be heeded.
