Backup/observation camera, or as the wife calls it, a marriage saver. The el-cheapo wifi camera I bought last year just doesn't have the range. It was delivered today. I also have a slide topper on the way. Probably splurge on new tires soon as well just for peace of mind.

We changed the Alpine's exhaust manifold, and replaced the stator and rotor on the genset. Then replaced all the hoses, sensors,water pump, clamps, fan, fan belts and misc parts so we would never have to pull it again.
Then we bought the Blue Bird.And we will start buying again

Been meaning to do this for a while. Today - Done!

Large diameter pipe insulators are accessible in good hardware stores.

Inexpensive, easy to install, effective - Sun shade covers for canvas canopy and for windshield wipers... while Sweetie awaits next jaunt.

PS: Although I've not been able to get photos to post right side up - I found that when you bring the photo up and than put arrow in middle of photo and click on it... photo enlarges and is then rightside up!

What the reason behind covering the wiper arms and awning?

Never could quite understand why folks need to cover their wipers when parked. Do you cover the ones on your car too? Certainly understand “to each his own” and not trying to bash those that do but to me it’s easier just to replace the wiper blades when they go bad.

Wiper covers to keep them from getting “baked” by the sun. Rv sets for longer periods of time. Hot, no movement, no wind to move them around.
Your car typically gets driven daily or semi-daily. Movement and air, less “baking”.

Same with awning covers. Ever seen an older Rv with their awning out and the top part, up by the roof, is faded out? Cover keeps the sun off, less fading.

Just saying....
