2. Another useful gadget I bought at the beginning of the season is an extension cord that rolls up neatly and quickly into a round housing and has four outlets on it. I actually bought two of them at ten bucks each at walmart. The two outside outlets tend to get used too fast with our radio, tv, light, and whatever else we are using. I had been using long outdoor extension cords that had to be wound up and unraveled every time we went. These things have been worth their weight in gold. They are so easy and I am someone who likes to store my things away neatly, and I didn't like cords draped everywhere under the awning. I usually only have to use the one, but its nice to have two just in case, for the times my son pitches his tent and camps with us and he has a fan he likes to use at night and his own radio inside the tent, and a light.
5. I added a simple three dollar two way hose valve to my white fresh water hose with on/off valves for each side. Keeping it attached to white hose permanently allows us to hook up the green hose with sprayer or just have water outside for a quick hand wash much easier than disconnecting the white hose.
One tip for 5.: I'd put a backflow preventor (check valve) on the open side of the Y valve, to ensure that anything from the other side doesn't get into your fresh water flow.
For 2.: Where did you get that extension cord? A picture would be a help.
Cheers!
