I'm certain any number of members here have a generator that could use a little "exorcising." RV parks could offer blessing of the RV's on Sunday and owners could do something other than imbibing in the "spirits."
All right, I'm done.

Do you have info or links to the lights you used? I was backing into a site a few weeks ago and felt like I was blind (at night). I had the DW back there, but it would be nice to see things.

I added backup lights to my trailer using these:

They are surface mount so you only have to drill holes for the wire and the screws. If they were flush mounts, you'd have to make a much bigger hole and avoid framing.

The temp finally reached a balmy 32 degrees this afternoon so I hooked up the 5er and pushed it back onto its winter's resting place. Just as important, I also returned the TV to pickup truck status, stowed the hitch under the garage workbench, installed the real tailgate after removing and stowing the 5th wheel version (Hooray, I have a camera again) then dumped some air out of the tires so it wont ride like a buckboard. There are still a couple minor things that need to be done - cover the two a/c units, tires and the reefer, HW heater and furnace vents - @#$% rodents. And if we see the 50s again, maybe even a quick wash 'n' wax with Meguire's liquid.

For that camera ~~ On the Ford diesel forum it has been mentioned Ford makes a pig tail connector priced around $20 and cameras are on Ebay for around $20. All it takes is drilling 1 hole in the 5er gate.

After the last trip out I told DW that I'd not spend one more night in the trailer on that junky factory mattress. So on Monday our new mattress arrived. I put it in on Tuesday and had a good nights rest on it Wednesday.

Flushed black tank, drained all water and blew out the lines. Still need to pour antifreeze in the p-traps if it looks like it will freeze before our next trip in 4 weeks... [emoji16]

I installed a papper towel hanger that's not worth mentioning but in the process I discovered another led light with a slide switch under the CABINET by the stove . My complaint was it's to dark by the stove .

I put the eez tire monitor system on the trailer tires. We also put an accordion door up in the bathroom which is a real space saver, got one at Lowes. Put the Max Air covers on the vents. Dvd player and sound bar for main tv, to bypass the Furrion system.

Sewer Pipe Storage Project finally finished.
After much research here and at Lowe's, I decided to upgrade my sewer hose storage to the standards I've seen posted here. 5" PVC Fence Post with PVC Rain gutter to slide inside. Did some modifications to the rain gutter to allow it to expand or contract from 5 to 10 feet long, to use as hose support when needed. Mounted the post behind the front jacks with hose clamps around the upper part of the jack, and several sheet metal screws into the edges of the post. Seems to work pretty well, with storage for 2 Camco 10 foot hoses, my clear 45 deg connector, and the terminal connector for the sewer.

I replaced the converter. Can't complain that after pert-near five years of full-timing it was buzzing and humming and not keep the battery to its full potential. What normally would be a plug and play (famous last words) was quite the feat. My hat is off to those that work on RVs for a living, Chuckster57! The spaces are cramped to begin with...with drain pipes, vent pipes, furnace ducting, aluminum framing and 12 miles of electrical wiring! I replaced the WFCO with a Progressive Dynamics.
