What gadgets do you have?

[Swampy]

I highly recommend the Progressive Industries EMS 30 or 50 Amp. If you monitor the voltage at most campgrounds, you will find it all over the place ... what better way to protect your electronics and your RV

Does that thing really work?

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

I would love to add a back up camera to my Jayflight 26BH any recommendations?

+++++10000 this thing has saved our camper at least twice a year and we camp at private, state, local and other types of camp ground.

Get the hardwired version, someone with basic electric knowledge can install and so much nicer than the ones that you plug in outside that can grow feet.

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.

Micron - which LED Dimmer did you get and how did you install it? The awning LED's are so obnoxious I don't want to use them at night!

I just ordered this unit based on some very good reviews on this forum. It will arrive today and I will have a chance to test it out next week.

Portable propane fire pit modded to run off the trailer's quick connect. DW is allergic to woodsmoke so this allows us to enjoy the campfire without the downsides.

I installed the camera on the trailer today. I was a little disappointed that the new trailer was not pre wired for a camera. But not a huge deal, I just put it in place of the center marker light. Turn the lights on and bam....camera is on. I mounted it in a way that I can remove it and reinstall the light and show no signs something else was mounted there, in the event I want to take the camera off to use on a new trailer.

I backed the truck up and connected the power and it worked great. Full signal bar. I'm anxious to see how it does at speed on the highway.

Not the best picture, pretty gloomy day here in "sunny" south Florida.

Thats a great idea!

[jgerhard]

I agree, great idea on grabbing power!

[lpasco]

What camera did you go with? I have a edge juice with attitude that i will use as the screen, but want a good wireless camera.

Got this for Christmas from my daughter.
Does it qualify as a gadget?

This is a fantastic idea for those TT that aren't pre-wired!! (Heck, even for those that are prewired, saves having to drill another hole in the unit). Great job!. Keep us updated on how it works for you on the road. I have been very pleased with mine.

Do you just turn the monitor off at night when the running lights are on?

I haven't used it yet but I would be keeping the camera on at all times while towing to be used as a rear view mirror. But yes if I don't want it on at night I just shut the monitor off. Camera stays on but does no harm.

I have 2 of these! We camp with friends who also have one. I make dough at home and freeze the dough balls. In the morning we are going to cook pizza, I take them out to defrost. Usually bring extra dough because all the neighbors smell pizza cooking an can't resist coming over [emoji3]

Here is a little better pic of the camera install. I'm going to wire the moniter in my truck today. Going to make the monitor removable but the wiring permanent. I hate seeing wires.

[dmward]

Very innovative! Do you have details on how you mounted it to the running light?
