Just putting a 150 watt Renogy system on our rig. How are you attaching the panels? I used polyurathane and made some 1 1/2 X 2 1/2 inch brackets to mount mine to the roof. Hate to drill holes if I don't have to! I did a test with the same material earlier and I'm pretty sure it is going to stay in place.

Best time to oil is when fan starts making noise. But dead ones can usually be resurrected.

I tried it with the frozen one, I spun the bushing out of the plastic and the fan is junk. I might be able to save the other one and might to save it as a spare, I am just going to replace them both with the ball bearing fans I bought for the unit.

Sundance which bar door latches you purchase. Interest in the latch seal if it's the same as my coach. Maybe the supplier will know.

New Alps Mountaineer Director Camp Chairs. Very comfortable, very sturdy, fairly light, and are about 6" folded. We tried a lot of different chairs before settling on these. Also bought a little 18x20 aluminum folding table to go between the chairs.

CB radio
I'm in the process of installing a CB radio. Installed a 2 ft Firestix antenna on the roof. Thank you Newmar for the "satellite" prep

Power surge protector. The very fist RV park I use it, the unit detected reverse polarity. The park owner replaced the faulty wiring. I'd say it paid for itself right out of the box!!
