The stays and ends were purchased from West Marine. Two work fine with the hatch open, a third might be useful.

I use the REI Alcove. It fits nicely as a kitchen extension for shade but heavy rain has presented problems with pooling water. I adapted boat cover stays to keep the canvas taught. I cut the fiberglass to allow the pieces to slide together for adjustments and storage. The ends and center do...

One of my favorite things to do with new campers is to shine a flash light on the forest floor at night. The little sparkles you see are “spider eyes”. It usually desensitizes them to spiders once they realize they are every where. (yard, park, house) I do not like bugs in my sleeping place so...

Waiting for a nice week

Having read through this thread, I purchased a set of “s” clearance chains for the trailer. I did a trial fit and found that there is a pinch point between the tire and the frame at the front. The clearance is about ¼ inch. Its also pretty tight along the bottom edge of the front of the fender...

I have a Wilson Amplifiers WeBoost 4Gx. My purpose was to bring the signal inside of the aluminum box. It gives at least a one bar increase in signal. Sometime I will try to get a db reading on and off.

I installed a marine rachet antenna mount. At first I used it for a TV antenna but now use it for a cell booster. When traveling it lays pointing at the bumper but flips up for use. (Be careful to avoid wires under the skin when mounting)

Here’s a photo with the cover over the gen box.

I use a Stromberg Carlson aframe tongue rack that I fit to the height I thought best. I then bolted a generator storage box made for a Honda 2000 onto the rack. The generator is over 4 feet from any opening in the 560. The db inside the camper, measured on the sofa is 59. The new 2200s have a...

I roll each change of cloths together. Four days, four rolls that fit in one cabinet. Sleep clothes and laundry in the top cabinet. Added an extra hook hanger for a jacket.

Down load the FAA App “Before You Fly”, Kitty Hawk is good too. Both give you the flight restrictions by geolocation. Also, learn how to read aviation charts so you can pick safe places to fly. I’ve found the obstacle avoidance to be tricky in trees. Its possible to get locked into a patch of...

I sometimes carry a “wagbag” system. They make a folding chair and bag kits with all you need for each use. The gel lets you toss your waste into the trash. It’s made in the US.

No drop down leg, its a pretty substantial piece of gear. Yakima does not rate it for rv use so I keep the load t0 less than 50 lbs. For a “light” set up I place a sunbrella in the rod holders.

I wanted a place to carry “canvas” to keep it out of the trailer. The Yakima swing out adapter and a Surfmate jr. works well. I reversed the Surfmate mount to keep it close to the trailer. I also installed a license plate holder and ran a light wire with plug to the existing plate light. The...

I've tried a Zodie tent heater. The burner is outside and uses a heat exchanger to warm the air that is then blown into the enclosure. This keeps the CO out. I actually have a vent hole in the bottom of the camper (I use the marine under mattress liner) to keep condensation down. I can hook the...
