Travel humidifer. DH has problems with the dry air in winter. This cute little gadget is very tiny and uses a 16 oz water bottle as its water source. Actually, I bought 2 of them. Put one of them on his nightstand at home, and in just 3 nights it has made a huge difference in how he sleeps. Other one is in the RV.
Originally got the idea from a gift review in Consumer Reports. When I checked out the particular one they recommended, I found another brand (Pure) with better ratings for almost half the cost on Amazon.

I bought some LED lights and installed them just like how it's shown in this link from another forum member.

Bolt receiver lock & coupler lock, keyed to the truck. Never liked the lock that came with the trailer and there was only 1 key, so this seems like a good solution that doesn't generate more keys to keep track of.

Less money is not always attractive. The cheapest product seldom is the best deal. Applies to everything in life.

1500 watts of solar panels, solar charge controller, combined box with breakers, and misc wiring and hardware to tie it all together.

Worst purchase we ever made.

Sometimes even the higher priced product isn't that great either. I gather that based on the many issues posted with higher end coaches.

OK, I give up! What is that?
On edit: I see you already answered that it is a portable washer. Have you had a chance to use it yet? I'm looking forward to a review.
