A Camco Decor Mate stove topper. We don't use the propane burners we use an induction cook top. DW also wanted more counter space.

We just bought a $325 tow from where we stopped (three blocks from the house) to the local mechanic shop. I don't know what's wrong, the starter will turn it over but it wont start.

An arsenal of rodent deterrents -- Peppermint Oil, Cab Fresh, anti rodent spray and an electronic pest away device.

I heard scratching and scurrying coming from below us in the night and later found a stash of pecans that had been diverted from a kitchen cabinet to my undie drawer. At first I thought it was mice, but not it appears to be a ground squirrel.

Blocking the space around the power cable with steel wool and sealing the sewer bay seems to be working for now, but if that critter made it in others are sure to try to follow.

Replaced all interior light bulbs with LEDs. Fire/smoke replacement.
Got tire covers for the trailer, winter water hose, insulator foam insert for the vent in Bath, and foam pad for my bed.

Not really a new gadget for the 5er, but related. A Custom Flow tailgate for my new to me '11 F250CCLB pick up. I had 'dinged' the top of the tailgate on the last truck so decided that a few bucks vs a big bunch of hours or dollars repairing or replacing another was well worth it, but it did take me 35 years to do it the first time

Just got back from the Tampa RV Supershow. Bought some LED strip lights, new locking pins for my BlueOx, new Miracle BBQ mats, a SideBlocker awning, plus some other little items. We also renewed our CoachNet coverage for three years.

Installed the led lights. The kids love picking colors. This weekend will be purple to match our purple and gold (LSU) awning lights!
