Speaking about steps........

I added a nice "no slip" step to my hitch hauler....

And I went to WalMart and bought a new deep cycle battery as my five year old West Marine battery was simply not holding a charge long enough.

Got up at 3:30 am and figured I need to do SOMETHING to the camper.

Looking in my junk bin I found a dual 12V equipment cooling fan. Mounted it below the thermostatically controlled fan that the PO had installed.

Then wired in a switch so I can turn it on and off as needed. Only will be used on real hot days.

Used a steel letter stamp kit to label the switch

Here you go finally got Air-Foil done.
Thanks to Sleepys idea.
No more bug splatter / better MPG and it just looks neat.

Can you post up a materials list and where you bought the stuff?

Hey that Air Foil looks great. I too would like to see a parts list.
I just finally went all out and bought 4 Fast Guns and locks. They sure are nice compared to the old tie downs. Going to be especially nice for Fuel fill up issues with tie down clearance at gas tank door.

Looks great, abslayer.

noticed that the screen door attachment hook to the back door was loose so a little gluing was in order. I loaded my float tube, fly rods, waders, boots, fishing vest into the shower for the trip. It made me realize how right my wife was about a dry bath, all that stuff in there and I still have 100% access to the sink and throne.
