I put one on a plate on the bed, and one on the dining table.
This is in a 37' rig. You will be shocked how much moisture it will pull out.

New headlights, and my own improvement, side shine led strips to update look, and give better driving lights.

Two running/turn/stop LED lights above the factory lights. Nice and bright and a little higher up.

Thanks. We have a 37' rig as well. I guess that I will be prepared to be shocked.

I bought two new windshield wiper sprayer heads. My old ones were both broken.

Over the last couple of months each one of mine has about 6oz. of water in them. You then add a little more granules back in them. I have been using them for over 20 yrs. in boats.

1. Tire Minder Smart TPMS system.
2. LevelMate Pro

I have not installed either system yet as the winter weather has got me in a holding pattern right now. Both systems will "report" their info to my Android phone, via apps that you download onto the phone, cutting down on the number of monitors on the dash/windshield of the truck.
Update: The LevelMate Pro is installed. What a slick piece of equipment for leveling the trailer.....Wow! Just to check out the actual distance of the LMP transmitter, I installed it temporarily in the Bedroom (front of the trailer) and taped it in place against the side of one of the wardrobe cabinets. My truck was parked about 20 feet away, so I got in the truck with my phone and started the app for LMP. Boom, almost instantly it picked it up and was communicating with the transmitter device. Just to test it even further, I got out of the truck and went into the house (50 feet away from the trailer) and stood by the back door, good there too. So I walked through the house to the front side and into my computer room and sat down at the computer desk. Yep, it was still working there. So, it appears that there will not be any issues with the range of the LMP and my phone while I'm in the truck and hooked up to the trailer. Very nice/handy equipment.

The Tire Minder Smart TPMS system is still waiting to be installed. I've got a set of Maxxis 8008 Tires ordered to replace the Trailer King tires that came on the trailer. Hopefully they will be here and get installed this coming weekend and then I'll install the Tire Minder Smart TPMS. The signal booster that comes with the TPMS system has to be mounted somewhere on the trailer and is supposed to be weatherproof. I'm not taking any chances and bought a weatherproof hobby box (all plastic, no metal, so that there is no chance of interference with the booster) and will mount the booster in it, then mount that box to the trailer "A" frame. I also bought a weatherproof switch that will be installed on the plastic hobby box so that I can turn the booster off when the trailer is not in use. Of course, there has to be a way to get the wiring into and out of the box, so a weatherproof squeeze bushing will be used for that also. Then, it's just a matter of putting the receiver (for the booster) in the truck back window. The receiver takes the wireless signal from the booster and converts it to a Bluetooth 4 signal and that is what my phone will sync to and display the TPMS readings through the app for it.

I also came up with a phone mount for my Nexus 6P google phone to use the two apps for the LMP and the Tire Minder. I'm using a Ram mount suction cup with the 1" ball and an "X" mount spring loaded mount for the phone. So counting the GPS and the phone, I should only have two devices mounted up by/on the windshield of the truck. I really wanted to avoid having the windshield look like the cockpit of an airplane with 3 or 4 different monitors up there to keep track of everything......this should do it pretty easily.

Replaced 4 Costco 6V batteries with six 6V Trojan T145 house batteries. Went from 440 Amp Hr to 780 Amp hours. Returned Costco batteries for credit. Moved two chassis batteries to new location. Found I was running the generator hours more than many others while at Quartzite so this will help immensely hopefully.

Added three 200 watt solar panels Now with 600 watts and 6 house batteries should be much better boondocking with the Samsung refer installed last year.

From Costco a single induction burner for the kitchen. Will see how that works.

While at Quartzsite in one of the tool tents, I found a magnet with a hook attached for $1, 10 for $7. I first bought 2 than went back for a 10 pack. I place them in the basement clipped to the frame to hold extension cords or spare belts, anything I want to get up out of the way.
