Review on a few new items I added
I added some accessories to make towing a bit more enjoyable just before leaving on a two week trip from Michigan to Yellowstone. Here's a short review:
Rejex: Worked extremely well. Some type of gnat was reproducing in Montana and we drove through clouds of them. Add that to all the bugs that met their end over 4,500 miles and two weeks, we had a pretty thick layer of bug crud on the truck and trailer. The truck's nose took a bit of scrubbing with a Love Bug Eraser, but the splats on the trailer washed of easily with a soft brush (really hard to reach the top of that fiberglass nose cone).
Oxygenics Showerhead: Took me six years to get around to buying one of these. Works as well as I've heard. You can actually take a shower using the water pump. Old standard shower barely produced a dribble.
Eyeball Camera: This fit my needs to find a backup camera that didn't need permanent installation. Really cuts down on the hopping in and out of the truck. My new ProPride hitch likes to be aligned very close and this camera helps me do that quickly and easily.
ProPride 3P Hitch: I was extremely skeptical of the claims on this hitch, even after three friends bought 3P hitches. I figured that nothing could work as well as they said. I even drove up to ProPride (about an hour from me) and talked to Sean. He said bring it back anytime I'm unhappy with it. I will not be returning this. On the entire trip, I felt exactly one semi pass me. He was carrying a gigantic load that was wide and very high. All others passed without any drama, no shoving me over and pulling me back. Never felt the wind gusts, even in areas with 30-35 MPH (according to my smartphone).
I'm a big tightwad, but I'm glad I invested in these.
