They extend the factory hoses and reduce the "hammering" noise from the pump. The set is actually called a "pump silencer kit".
Here is a link to more info -

Worth every dollar. I've installed a set on the last three trailers. Shurflo sells it to quiet its own pump! Or, you can make your own, but you'll spend more on parts than the kit costs.

You don't have to spend more. In fact I did it for about half that price. You can buy those hoses and connectors right off the shelf at any hardware store. No fabrication required either. They are basically the same size as the ones under your bathroom sink at home.
The flexible hoses quiet the pump by absorbing the vibration and water hammer effect, instead of just passing it along down the pipe. You can also quiet the pump by adding additional padding under the feet.

My husband and myself wanted to be able to plus our Ipod or computer with music on it to our stereo that has indoor and outdoor speakers. The only problem was there was no where to do that. The factory stereo is above the dinette. There is an electrical outlet under that facing down. So he bought a plate to match that had a place to plus it in. So once finished it was connected to our stereo and when we wanted to conect the ipod or computer we plugged right in with no problems. I will take some pictures and get the posted hopefully soon!
Thanks for all the great ideas for mods though!

I dropped by Lowe's and found this cool soap dispenser. I also just installed these Pop-a-Toothbrush holders -

Some nice mods you have made. I added the tooth brush holders and they work great. While you are parked. Mine do not keep the toothbrushes in while traveling. The first trip with them I found the toothbrushes in the bathtub. Perhaps something to keep the lid from swinging while moving would work.

I took this propane light out or our 1963 camper before I got rid of the camper. I bought the glass globe from Vintage Trailer Supply and installed it in our trailer.
I am now looking for another one to put in the bathroom because there is no heat in there. These lights put out a fair amount of heat and should keep the bathroom nice and warm.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

We brought home our new Aerolite 21QS in July and I have been itching to get started on some Mods. Finally this weekend I was able to dig in. The pantry is 23" deep so you could hardly get to items in the back and everything bounced around a lot with every trip so I built some slide out shelves to fix the problems. I used some scrap wood I had around so my only cost was the $15 each for the full extension drawer slides from Home Depot.

I am also working on quieting the water pump, several storage optimizing projects including adding a diamond plate box to the A frame hitch area. I'll post each upon completion.

Just browsed through some of the pictures of everyone's cool mods again. LOVE this thread! Everyone is so creative and we've picked up some great ideas. My spouse is sick of hearing me say, "hey! come look at this one!"
Love those little propane lights Rubiranch. Useful AND beautiful! Can't get better than that!
