Continuing with a few more mods/accessories-
49. We ran wire from our fuse box, under the padded floor, and then up the wall over to our USB/Power Station.
To make it neat, protected, and a bit less obtrusive looking we used a cable concealer kit.
A photo with the trash can moved to see it better...
...and how it looks normally. We are happy with it, and it was far easier/better than drilling and pulling wires thru the ceiling.
50. A Fabreeze Plugin air freshener. Works off 120v
51. This citronella candle works pretty good at keeping the mosquito's away...if we're close enough to it. lol
52. This is a small and relatively low wattage hair dryer...
...On high it pulls 1000 watts, but on low it only pulls 500 watts, which is low enough to run off our small inverter.
53. After a fair amount of looking around, Mary got this HoLife wet/dry "dustbuster". It is quite helpful at keeping things clean. Charges off 120v and runs about 30 minutes (far more than needed in a typical week) off that charge.
54. This 12" "Lazy Susan" is very handy. We put our vitamins/supplements on there, and store it on the shelf we made...
...then can pull it out and access everything easily. Amazingly, going down the road, everything stays put on its' non-slip surface.
55. After very little use we noticed that some of the support rails on the underside of the fold up couch were starting to wear holes in the covering.
We took some marine grade vinyl and zip tied it around the offending rails, patched a couple of spots that had started to wear through...
...and now over 8000 miles of travel later, zero wear. :thumb:
56. Last one for today- Our quiet (no fan) small inverter. It sits on the shelf above the power station, and below the TV. I like that it has a digital readout-
1- AC Voltage out
2- How many watts are being pulled by whatever is plugged in. (this is our TV at normal volume, only pulling 18 watts)
3- DC voltage being supplied TO the inverter. It is at 13.5v because shore power is connected, giving the batteries a maintenance charge.
4- DC voltage being supplied to the inverter from the batteries with no shore power, and a normal load on them.
Besides this inverter having two 120v outlets, it also has two USB charging ports.
It also came with two ways to power it...a 12v power point plug (which is what we normally use) and also battery clamps, so it can be hooked directly to a 12 volt battery.
Got plenty more, have to take some more pics. Will do so and post up as time allows.
