I got one for each door. You can program the remote controls. Each remote has enough buttons to operate both doors. Or just use the key pads. Well worth the investment.

Love our central vac in our 36 foot MH, does a great job. We change the bag about once a month when we are “living” in it. We have all hard floors except the slide floors.

I stick a twist tie through the latch and anchor it so this won’t happen.

Frig
Finally pulled the trigger and ordered a JC Refrigeration 120 VAC HVAC cooling unit. It’s been about 2 months now and very satisfied. Ordered new heated water hoses for the in door water dispenser and ice maker so I could be ready. The only thing I didn’t consider was the fill port on ice maker snapping off when removing so a trip to hardware store was in order. Installation of cooling unit took a little more than expected but that is the usual. Added plastic sheeting to enclose the open insulation on the cabinet, used old cooling fan and switch ,in case I want to turn off, in upper side wall vent and used car A/C relay to turn fin fan off when doors are open, temp monitoring for frig and freezer.

We have a central vac in the S&B and love it. Yes, the hose can get in the way a little but it's not much of a problem and the hose in the S&B is stiff & doesn't retract like the Dirt Devil.

Shower curtains and hooks to sort of close off the coach cockpit making it easier to heat/cool when rolling - flamingoed of course.

I finally found a 12 volt (8 port) gigabit switch to replace my 5v model I've been using for years that required a buck converter to run it. Its mounted to the wall in my entertainment cabinet out of the way. https://amzn.to/3btZYwR
Am in the middle of a total rebuild of my electronics bay at the rear of the coach and will probably install one of them in there too, now that I will have the room. Moving that incredibly heavy inverter/charger from the bottom of the bay and installing it on the wall was quite difficult task as it was amazingly heavy and really no room for two sets of hands. I had to build a jig to hold it up so I could screw it on to the wall. I have even added intake and exhaust vent fans. Still noodling how to redirect the air flow inside and outside the cabinet. -Bill

On the Go Water portable water softener and Clear Choice water filter system.
Last trip out had verrrrry hard water. Have soft water in sticks and bricks for over 20 years and shower heads and toilets never clog so made the move to protect the fixtures and plumbing in the coach.

You are going to like that water softener.

It was a couple of hundred more than the Traveler 1000, but with the on site service ability I thought it was worth the difference. We will keep the Pathway X2 to use as a carry out if we are ever blocked by obstructions.
Also with this new system we upgraded the receiver to the Hopper Sling (DVR) which the wife missed her ability to record ---- she is making up for lost time now.

I bought the Traveler 1000 three years ago when we got the coach, to say the unit is impressive would be a large understatement. I can aim it in same location where the nice Dish tech installed and aimed our home system. Turn it on, and consistently get way better numbers than the tech got... that little bugger gets the enth out of the dish!
Keep us informed how your new unit work for ya! I didn't even know anyone else made a self-aiming unit like these..

Now I gotta find a thermometer that will send a signal to my phone in case the A/C goes out or trips while we are out for the day.
