So far:

1) added a transfer switch to the TV inverter.
2) putting solar on the roof.
3) installed a WiFi based back up camera.

Have on order a new faucet for the outdoor shower that converts to a quick connect fitting/hose/spray gun.

This morning I put some tools and incidentals into my new TC (wife and I picked it up last weekend) before heading to work. I've been transferring stuff from my old, leaky 2001 Palomino Bronco that I bought used a couple of years ago, a little at a time. The new TC is a 2012 Lance 850 that so far has been wonderful on its 260 mile journey home and has been christened the "Bonefish Express."

You might want to check it for leaks.

It can also use an awning for shade.

Nice ladder, have you priced one?

Actually, the TC reminds me of a Baja Bug I had many years ago. Each part of the body was a different color, due the the build process. A CHP told me he did not like Baja Bugs and threatened to give me a ticket for being unsightly. Showed me the law in my own vehicle code book. That was a Friday. I painted it Sunday, and he stopped me again Tuesday. I told him he could not give me the ticket, cause I painted it. Then he says "Pink". I thought it looked great Panther Pink. It is a shame when laws are passed that require you to paint something before you can scrap it.

Must have been one heck of a beer belching contest!
