Some things that just make camping that much
more enjoyable!
LevelsI added T-type levels front
and rear. These make leveling the camper a breeze. We have
learned just the right amount of height required by quickly
looking at the levels. About $2.00 each at Home Depot. I eyeball
the front and my wife checks out the back.
S-hooks: I attached S-hooks to each
of the ropes used for tie down of the camper's awning. Saves a
lot of frustration when putting up the awning not having to
thread the rope through those little holes.
12 Volt Jack Added 12 volt cigar
type outlet to run 12VDC accessories inside the camper. I added
it under the storage hutch where there was already wiring
available for use for a pump. I mounted it inside on the top. We
don't use it enough to drill a hole and mount it in the wall. We
can run the TV or the small 12V vacuum for getting sand and such
out of the trailer.
RCA Amplified Antenna: I'm still
working on getting DW to buy into a satellite TV system for home
and the camper. Until I do, I'm using an amplified set of rabbit
ears. Tired of having them slide off of the TV, I put a couple
pieces of Velcro to the roof and bottom of the antenna. It still
works great upside down and helps to pull in those marginal
stations for TV watching.
Water Connection: I carry two hoses,
50 and 25 ft., and connect them to the campground water supply
via a Camco Water Diverter. I connect whichever hose is needed
to the camper and connect the other to the extra faucet
connection with a spray nozzle connected to the hose. It's quite
handy for rinsing off coolers, fishing tackle or scrubbing the
odd pot or pan out by the water faucet.
"RV" TRAV-L-PURE Water Filter:
I got this small water filter doing a product test for Pop Up
Times. Seems to work pretty good. Thanks Dave!
Metal Step Ladder: We carry a 3 step
metal step ladder along. It's great for putting up the tacky
lights or the Reflexit bunk end covers.
Tacky Lights:We like to use just
regular outdoor Christmas tree lights around our camper's
awning. They provide a lot of light and don't seem to attract
bugs that bad.
Table Lamp: This small table lamp is
just perfect for those night time contests of dominoes, cribbage
or backgammon, our favorite games.
