I just bought an adjustable water pressure regulator with a actual pressure gauge.
I should have bought one 20 yrs ago.

Correct or you can also use a portable power bank like one would use to charge cell phones, tablets, etc. We use it both ways so if we want to place them in a spot where there is no outlet we just use portable power.

I just got my order of Element Fire extinguishers in. Thrilled at the tiny form factor and increased coverage. One for trailer and one for vehicle. Fits in the glove box.

New door knobs for bathroom doors. The round ones can be difficult to turn, especially when you have arthritis. I replaced them with lever type like what's in our house. Picked them up at Lowes. I got the ones intended for closet doors, didn't feel we really needed locks since it's just the 2 of us. Very easy to change out and so easy to open the doors now. If you have any problems with your hands, this is a worthwhile modification.
Happy camping, Ron

Rob, this is the one I went with - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When I installed it I also added a second pressure gauge so that I could also tell what the campground was providing. I run the regulator at 60 PSI but often the campground is only providing 40 PSI and with the second gauge I know it's not the regulator setting.

Replacment WetBay Faucet with Quick Connect.

I just ordered one of these: https://amzn.to/3ihotgx and the hose quick connect part too. I attempted to make one from the existing Wet Bay faucet but its really a POS. Hopefully this one will work.

Flashlights

I like flashlights. They shed real light on dark, dismal and threatening situations. So, today a new one joined the gear kit. A Duracell 2500 Lumen flashlight from Costco. Cost $18 (@$7off). Now we test and see if a backup is in the plan.

Garmin 45 dash cam. Friend has one and while not inexpensive it works well. I do have a tendency to lean to Garmin for Electronics.
