That makes a good place for wasps to hide then.

I agree with everyone about the about the Progressive EMS it will tell you a lot more, but for me right now I boondock 95% of the time so a EMS is a lot of money to spend for that 5% and I was simply thinking of a cheap way to tell if the site power is ok before backing in. One day I will get a...

cavie for the hose ends I will simply buy garden hose caps, but since the tube is sealed on one end and the other has a removable plug as long as I keep it closed up no critters should be able to get in.

Mark_K5LXP I like the idea of the pizza plate for the ground plane and I will one and move the antenna farther away, when I get a mobile unit I will mount it under the overhead cabinet and the antenna will be on the side away from the ladder this will have to get me by till I run 12v power to...

Thank you edjunior

It is for 30 amp only, I don't need 50 amp.

I was looking at a few web sites discussing power stand testing and saw this picture the first one of one pieced together to test the voltage and polarity of a 30 amp stand, so I decided to make up my version and I bought a short and long 30 amp plug just in case the short one was to hard to see.

I got tired of coiling up our stiff white water hose so I bought a Plastair 25' coiled hose and I wanted to store it on the rear bumper near the fresh water tank for easy access.

Our most popular mod per people looking at my posts has been the adjustable rear awning mod, it raises and lowers as needed to block the sun and even folds flat against the side when the winds get to high.

We bought our Coleman Cedar and it had 1 mod already done to it a spring over axle conversion and short fat tires. We added reflectix inserts first and swapped the oversize table for a smaller one and added emergency blankets for the bunk ends as a cheap version of pugs. We also added a door...

I use a silicone spray on the cables, wheels underneath the trailer and on the cables in the roof supports.

I can't see needing more than 1000 watts very often I am going to run 2 outlets off of it. And if I need more than 1000 watts I will fire up the generator.

I got tired of the 160 ah battery capacity of our 2 12 volt batteries in our fifth wheel so I replaced them with (4) 6 volt  232ah batteries from US Battery. I also added a dedicated charger a Boondocker BD-1275-C 75 amp 4 stage charger, a 250 amp T fuse, 500 amp shunt and a old 1000 watt...
