Little ideas for my 2020 Leprechaun 319mb

1. So first project I found on YouTube to magnetize my Dometic propane Fridge (search: RV Hack 1: Make your Dometic Magnetic so that Refrigerator Magnets Stick!”).

2. Second idea was for stair well cover when we travel so that our blind dog won’t fall in it:

I just measured that the width was 31.5 inch and found this Closetmaid shoe organizer on Walmart. Com for $39:

3rd idea is more vertical pantry storage.

I found this adjustable shelving again at Walmart.com:

To secure it for travel, I used opposing command hooks with double velcro so that I can remove the shelving if needed:

Another idea is to put up a magnetic board in the same cabinet:

We had to order it and had it installed through the dealership. It is magnetic and mounted on passenger side hood.

They never had anyone request it before. I think it was an $8 part. I don’t remember what they charged for labor.

When we got the coach in July 2019, it came with an Advent touch screen radio that was promoted as “Sirius Ready”.

They change the brand every year. Perhaps yours came with the antenna included.

Good luck with the install.

I believe they forgot to tighten things up on our install resulting in a flickering screen at times. I will have them fix it before our 1 year bumper to bumper warranty is up.

We have the 2018 version of this coach. The aluminum step was our first "addition". We have since added front and rear stabilizer bars and heat/sound proofing in the cab. Quite an improvement!

I hear you.

We got the polar package with the 15k AC with heat pump, double pane windows, fire place and windshield cover so that we can stay warm. Luckily we haven’t needed stabilizer bars with the Ride Rite air cushions so far.

Another common RV problem is rust:

Besides looking ugly and causing long term damage, the rust can put pinholes in your stinky slinky.

Us Rvers love compact efficient items:

This trash can fit easily under the sink without taking too much space:
