Default What did you get done on your RV today?

Today I installed a Hughes onboard inline surge protector on my BT5210. Pretty cool. Has bluetooth connectivity so if your RV park shore power is not wired correctly or has damaging voltage surges it will not fry your RV/MH devices.
Has bluetooth connectivity to provide input power data or when something is not right.
Does more than the ones you directly plug into the power pedestal.

Today I bought a TV and I installed a TV wall mount with a locking mechanism that securely holds my TV in place, I can't wait to travel again.

The wife and I installed a slide cover on our new camper. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but having my wife (best friend and best helper ever ) It was a breeze. Only took about an hour and a half works like a champ. Thank you Baybee for helping...I lusya xoxox

Hey all cool to see others enjoying installing new upgrades I've done a ton over the last few months and what a new world and made my own complete outside entertainment system on a slide. New led faucets and showers with led. An under body light kit and tons more. Tinkering with the coach is one of my favorite hobbies maintaining and keeping it up to date with today's electronics and gadgets

Default So long black tank

Just finished installing an Airhead Composting toilet in my 2021 BT5210.
Tapped into the black tank vent located under the vanity with a new sweeping tee above the P trap tee.
The necessary 12volt fan is located under the vanity.
Wired in a switch and inline fuse for the fan also.
Heading out soon for 10 days to see how it performs.
No more black tank needed and much less water usage needed for toilet.

Default Bedroom door

This weekend we swapped the bed room door on our 2022 Ameri-Lite 236 RL. The bedroomm door opens out and blocked the thermostat and other controls. So we took it down and re hung it to swing in to the bedroom out of the way. Best move ever, works awesome. Thank you baybee I lusya xoxox...

Hello I couldn't help but notice in the picture how your TT is sitting connected to the f-150! The down angle at the rear of the truck and TT in the front is not a very safe way to travel as that can cause a lot of unwanted swaying while towing.
Adding the extra trailer with the golfcart on your camper is also overloading that little F-150 for sure..
I'd hate to see someone get hurt from not being safe. But good luck..

Default Garmin RV890 GPS Dash Holder

Being that the RV890 GPS is kinda heavy and was too far away when installed on the windshield of my E350 cab I fabbed up a clip on mount that moves it closer to the dash and within reach. Easier to see and hear commands .
Bought a cheap clip on cell phone holder on EBay and bolted a piece for steel angle to it to hold the GPS ball swivel mount.

Default Scissor jacks

We rotated the jacks on our camper today. I saw an article in the rv magazine that claimed it would help stabilize the camper. Today I tried it and (so far) it works like a champ. Turned them in like at 45 degrees front and rear, and it made it sturdier sitting in the yard. Can't wait to go camping to make sure ..

It's not as bad as the picture looks, actually sit pretty level on the flatland. Took the picture while I was putting the trash away and there's a dip in the driveway coming up on the road. The camper extra trailer and cart is still 15-1800 lbs under the tow rating. Since we were just going to a local area campground about 30mins from the house, we went with it. I wouldn't attempt to pull it in the hills or on a far trip..

Default Added lock.

We replace the door lock on our 5210 with a remote with touch pad.

Love it so far.

Nice! I also installed the same, mine was made by latchit with fantastic customer service. So far it has been a really nice upgrade. It came with 4 keys, 2 remote fobs, a nifty little screwdriver and a nice key chain. It was very well made no plastic.

Now I'm in the process of making another slide out for the blackstone and accessories.
The first one I made for the outside entertainment center worked perfectly.
