Winterized

Me too. Hated to do it, as I still hope to get out with it before cold winter weather sets in. But right now (2AM local time) it is a balmy 28 degrees F outside. So did it all this afternoon while relatively warmer.

The old Pyle stereo in my Arctic fox was shot, so I ordered a new Jensen JDC 2010 from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XEHSTE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Today I installed it, and it is nice to have some tunes in the camper. The AM band was unusable because of a loud buzz, probably interference from the power converter. I did not test by unplugging the camper yet. The FM works great, and I used the AUX input jack to listen to Pandora internet Radio using my smart phone.
Thankfully, this new radio fit right into the existing opening, so installation was quick and easy.

I also installed LED bulbs in all the interior light fixtures. I got those from Amazon too. they only use less than 2 watts apiece, so I figured when I'm boondocking on battery power, they will be a benefit. They are nice and bright, and I like the color of the light, it looks very natural.

Switched out the sheets to flannel also.. Ready to use it as a guest house during the holidays! Hopefully, a little camping for me too as I have yet to take it out since I purchased it! [emoticon]

Discovered in a two day period that the funny looking light by the rear door is a grab assist handle and it has a switch and it works!!!!!
Now I must order a lens for it.
This is my second old Lance and it took owning two to realize this.
