Ridiculously cheap, ridiculously easy mods to consider

[ScottyA]

Another cheap, easy mod I really like is adding a drip channel to the top of the windshield. Never enjoyed waking up with condensation dripping down my clean windshield.

did you put these on the side windows too?

did you put these on the side windows too?

I did - driver's side as that's where I get water streaks from the gutter above.

I have not. My original concern was condensate on the windshield. Side windows have not bothered me enough to give it a try. Apparently @Neal has had good luck with side window application.

Installed these switchable plugs in the receptacles where the Girard awnings plug in (3rd bay PS on my coach). Gives peace of mind that the awnings won’t deploy while traveling. Also, if you have one awning that wants to come in with every puff of wind like my rear one, when deployed you can turn the switches off thus deactivating the sensors. Just remember to turn them back on when leaving the coach. Or simply bring the awnings in whenever leaving, as we do.

Links for those that want to do the same?

My hunch is they are ignition inhibited, it's the deploy while parked such as next to a tree or in a service center that's the killer.

Supposed to be ignition inhibited. Several reports of activation while moving.

With the tip from J&JD, I ordered the drip rail. New windshield in, drip rail installed (above the windshield on the cap), ready for Tampa! As it turns out, I didn't have to move the numbers, but since I've got a new set on order, I'll replace them a little higher.

Lost inflation - where can I get the "drip rail"? Streaks are driving the navigator crazy.

Thanks.

Wouldn’t you know it, got a pretty good crack on the windshield on the way east. Since I originally mounted my drip rail on the windshield I’m obviously going to have to redo it when the windshield is replaced. Has everyone had good luck mounting on the cap? No problems with the paint?

Mine is above the glass on the cap and they still took mine off. I was able to put it right back on and it's still sticking just fine but I'd be fine with new as well.
