    First up, we're talking about DIY 2x4 stabilizers that are a game-changer for reducing that annoying movement in towable RVs. They're easy to make, super effective, and totally worth the minimal effort!
    Next, let's take a trip to the roof for a MaxxAir Deluxe fan upgrade. It's got multiple speeds, a built-in rain cover, and reversible directions, making it a must-have for better ventilation and comfort.
    Then, let's maximize that kitchen space with a simple stovetop cover hack that's been a lifesaver in a rig with minimal counterspace.
    Then we talk about a small modification to the trailer tongue jack can make a huge difference in accessing your truck's tailgate while hitched up.
    Up next are several clever solutions for storing your sewer supplies and maximizing your RV’s propane setup. Plus, find out why adding a handle to your screen door is a no-brainer for convenience and functionality.

      I've used a couple of your modifications and they have worked surprisingly well. The stabilizers were noticed by some campers during their walk and they stopped to ask about them and what they were. They were surprised how much sway they stopped for such an easy/inexpensive solution. Interestingly, I was subscribed to your channel and somehow, I was no longer a subscriber...I found this video by accident. We are back on the subscribe list! Thanks!

    Favorite upgrades on our Wildwood, are the fan upgrade, ceramic window tinting and an upgrade to the lighting in the slide and the kitchen stove vent. We also added a soundbar to the TV and a magnetic whiteboard to the back side of the rotating TV mount.

      Did you do the window tinting yourself?

      @lancewulfers2502 Месяц назад

      @@rvgearandfar Yes, I tinted the windows on our 1993 Thor Chateau and learned how to do it on that one. On our new trailer I used the newer ceramic tinting material and it works better at reflecting the heat and also has a nice tint effect. Our latest upgrades were adding Sumo-Springs to the trailer, replacing the crappy dinette table with repurposed butcher block table from Lancaster Tables, and a battery monitoring system so we can monitor the state of charge.

      Was the ez flex noticeable while towing? Our rig cam with a standard solid metal hanger and when I replaced the leaf springs I upgraded to the morryde cre3000 - I know the travel is dampened just by the design - but couldn't feel any difference in the tow before/after.

    I saw a video on those wood stabilizers right after we bought our camper. They work great and I have maybe 60 bucks in them? also get a lot of questions in campgrounds about them. I keep wanting to pull the trigger on the fan replacement but the price point keeps me from doing it. Great video!

    • @rvgearandfar
      @rvgearandfar  2 месяца назад +1

      The fans are pricey for sure - but they move a TON more air than the stock fans
