What gadgets do you have?

I'm a gadget guy, I am itching to add stuff to my new Jay Feather 25BH. What do you guys have, electronics or otherwise?

I already have on my list...

Upgraded stereo and system and surround sound. I like crisp sound. Going to add an amp and subs in the trailer and some better speakers outside as well.

Color changing LED lights under the trailer for that extra cool factor. I'm in the marine LED lighting business so I have access to all kinds of stuff. The trailer will look likes it's hovering in the campground.

Back up camera

That sounds like fun but be cognizant of the possibility your CG neighbors may not be as enthusiastic if it's distractingly bright, haha.

Not going to be a bother to the neighbors. It will just have a nice glow on the ground around the trailer. You won't have line of sight to the lights....that would actually be annoying.

12 Volt floor fan. Not cheap but an essential when boondocking in hot weather

Hand held, battery operated GPS.

Does a Margaritaville blender for the outside kitchen count?

Parkit360 trailer dolly because I'm parking my RV on the side of my house, and the area is too narrow to negotiate by backing it in with a truck.

Black Lab security system. It can be really annoying when it goes off but does the job.

LED dimmer switch for the outside awning lights. Nothing annoyed me more than those super bright LEDs while trying to relax outside by the fire.
I've seen some campsites lit up like a night game at Yankee Stadium with LEDS, awning lights and lanterns galore. I just don't get it.

Its that "Center of attention, Look at me" mentality. I don't get it either.

The one gadget I wouldn't be without that I initially thought was a waste of money (not mine, but my mother's) is a portable ice maker. I've had it for a year now and it makes ice incredibly fast!

My favorite gadget is a Hitchgrip, and boy am I glad I have it, since the broken wing!
