Ridiculously cheap, ridiculously easy mods to consider

Good idea. I already left one regulator behind ?

 

[AbdRahim]

Be careful to get all of the water out of it or bring it in during the winter. My $150 Watts regulator was destroyed.

Easy to pop out if needed but I'm fortunate to not have to winterize as I'm on power in storage and the wet bay will remain heated. Should blow out the system anyway and the average regulator is more on the lines of $30 I think, not a big loss. Convenience is key, absolutely love having this inline. Set and forget.

Note: This is not my original idea ... DW saw someone post it on Facebook and asked if I could make one so here is my version. If that person is here, please speak up.

It's a simple tray that sits on top of the front dash upper pull out drawer for drink cups and snacks while driving.

Well, that's very nice! Regardless of where the idea came from!

Here’s one from @TJ&LadyDi that In my opinion is really a must-do mod if you are an AirForce One user.

What do you carry TWO of when traveling?

I learned this weekend that it’s useful if you have an Air Force One braking system, to carry a spare air hose. I did not check my air connections well enough and the connection to the tow vehicle came loose. I realized it within less than a mile but it was too late. The female quick coupler had...

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.

This thread is going to cost me money. I got to have this!

Slow day here in Orlando, waiting for the boys to finish detailing the RV.

I've always hated throwing away those plastic bags that we get from the grocery store, Walmart or any of the other stores. So today, I attached a couple of plastic hooks (that we bought at Walmart ) to the side of our plastic garbage can that sits under the sink. Now we can attach the plastic bags to the sides of the garbage can, and use them as a trashcan liner.

Oh yeah...that's one I have to do! I love these simple mods that make so much sense; well done, @Jim.

I have always used these as garbage bags. Now they are banned in many places. I put a coat hook next to the kitchen sink and on the vanity bedroom slide fascia, where I hang those bags for garbage.

Now that most stores in my area don’t use these anymore, I end up using the 13 gal drawstring bags for 2 gallons of food garbage. Twice as much plastic now being sent to the landfill for the same amount of garbage. The small drawstring bags seem to be difficult to find.

We got rain here in Casa Grande, AZ (oh my) and first "water event" after installing my top of windshield gutter. My windshield this morning is clean, no streaks or running water lines down it! Woohoo!

What brand of seal did you use? Thanks.

 

[Neal]

I used the gutter product @J&JD recommended within this thread.

Wouldn’t be without the “windshield eyebrow “?

So Neal, where did you ultimately end up applying the drip rail molding, on the endcap or affixed to the windshield molding or both? Were you able to apply it under the Newmar logo? I'm getting ready to do this mod. Thanks.

I put mine on the windshield and it has worked well there for 2+ years now. I believe @Neal installed his on the cap just above the windshield. Either works.

Mine is on the fiberglass above the glass.

I intend to install a Magne Shade so I'm trying to avoid the windshield as it sounds like the drip molding would interfere with the attachment. I don't know if it is possible to bridge the windshield molding/end cap interface or

Mine is installed on the upper edge of the glass and Magna Shade works fine.

Good to know. Thanks

Coffee mug holders above the over sink storage. Anywhere where this the top wall space like this in cabinets is a great place for hooks whether big enough for mugs or keys, etc. Use that space available

Neal, I think they will be swaying around while driving, and mark the wood? Me thinks?
