February 2021 - What did you do for your camper?

Holy Pat! Maybe when you're all done with your snow, you could head over to my Mom's place and do some snow there too. Looks like you have energy to burn.

 

We hooked up to her and did a roll and stroll to Destin, Florida. Did a couple of stops in Georgia, Thomasville and Richmond Hill, on the way back home. Blew the water lines out until the next time.

 

Honestly, Wrench, I have just about enough energy to look after my own snow.
Hmmm... Snow is closer to your mom’s—and he’s a lot younger than me! He could stop in on the way home from work!

 

After reading kitphantom,s thread. Thinking about last night Snow and ice storm, Figured I go and look inside my camper also, just to make sure everything still looked good, however. After tracking trough snow and ice half way up my knee, the zippers on the cover are frozen solid, since it’s only 20 degrees today with the windchill in the single digits, figured it’s best not to try forcing it. Guess that may have to wait for a warmer day

 

Shoveled out the pup and cleaned the dam roof off again!!!! Now they are expecting another 5-8' of snow again on Thursday!!!

 

I got held captive in mine last night....I went out to check the interior humidity level, mouse traps, ect. It was about 20 degrees and has been rainy or icy for several days. I found the door handle frozen. I got a heat gun and thawed the handle and went inside. I was only inside a few minutes. When I tried to open the door, I found the handle had refrozen. I was trapped...Fortunately, I had my cell phone and had left the heat gun laying outside the trailer. I had to call someone inside the house to come out and thaw the door handle again to let me out...lol

 

@xxxapache, sorry, but I had to laugh at that!!!! That would be my luck as well!!!

 

The sun. Came out for a short while today, just enough to thaw the zipper on the cover enough to get it opened, took a look around inside everything looked good. Sat on the couch for a few minutes. And said. “ don’t worry girl... we will be out camping. Soon “

Oh, oooo, oh , can i play too! I like spending $$$.
You need a paper towel holder ( stick up or screw)
Camco pop a plate, for all your paper plate needs!
50 command hooks , for you know everything else! ( seriously get these!)
I did use the comand hooks with office basket organizers for the wall. Good for remotes, keys , etc.
Have fun with it. The equalizer is a good wdh .
And we need pictures of the main coon! Preferably with tail puffed up.

 

Just curious how much weight was added to KODI? We just cleaned out the Aliner and had too much stuff in it.

 

@DiamondGirl - and anyone else with a tt or hybrid.... don’t forget these:

This is one of my favorite & least expensive add-ons!

 

@neighbormike...

Thanks for the advice. DH ordered it from Amazon. It’s exactly what he wanted. During our KODI orientation, I asked the technician about the end caps because I saw someone on YouTube complaining about losing their Rhino sewer hose. He didn’t have any recommendations. Since we bought the Rhino Extreme hose ($$), I don’t want to lose it while traveling. Those end caps are more secured than the OEM caps.

Happy Camping...

 

@WrkrBee...
I estimate about a couple of hundred pounds... My Camp Chef Ranger III is about 25 pds. alone. DH and I are still uncertain if we will need it since we can always cook inside KODI. I like my CCRIII because it has three burners, great for cooking strong smelling foods like bacon outside, and allows me to use larger size cooking pots & pans. My Cuisinart Professional Grill weighs 22pds., Outland Firebowl Propane pit weighs 23pds., two Timber Ridge Gravity Recliners weigh 40pds., Lifetime 30” Personal table weighs 12pds., and etc. As you can see... It starts to add up.

Happy Camping...

 

@Smj9911... Thanks for the tips. Love your ideas. I ordered a magnetic paper towel holder that’s secures to the side of the range hood. The previous owner installed command hooks so we’re covered there. And I also like your idea of a Camco Pop a plate. I will check it out. I want to make sure it will work with the Hefty paper plates I buy from Costco.

Folks, keep passing on the great ideas of outfitting KODI, our NTU TT. It’s greatly appreciated. Has anyone installed a Maxxair Maxxfan 00-07500K Deluxe with remote to replace the generic bathroom fan?

Happy Camping...

 

Installed this past summer... I absolutely love it!
Edit: please excuse the grime - I know we shouldn’t post dirty pictures!

 

I still think the best thing is the shoe holder, on the pup i put it on the main door. In the TT its on the bathroom door. Good for flashlights, sun tan lotion, bug spray. Batteries, etc.

 

The grab bar for the screen door is one of the best items we bought for our TT. It may not seem like a big deal but IMO it makes a big difference.

I see that you went all-in with the sewer hose, etc. That's fine but don't freak out about the black tank. I see a lot of folks get themselves worked up about this. With apologies to Burt Reynolds, it's not a sh**ty job.

I added an additional gate valve for the outlet. We have two grey tanks on our TT. This allows us to fill both greys evenly instead of one getting full while the other is half full. But more importantly, it's an additional layer of protection between you and the black tank.
