Do you have a handy hint, a new product or an old product that makes your RVing or Camping much better?
(Sorry, no commercial advertising allowed)
I'll start:
Someone in the Camping Van posted a reference to using a Super-Chamois to wipe down their shower. I have been using an icky old thick sponge and I like the chamois idea so much more.
Now I want to hear what works for you

It would be near impossible to be far enough away once you cut them off though...

One thing I will suggest to you is instead of cutting the excess off with cutters. Turn the excess strap 90 degrees or twist them off as that secures them better.
And of course you can make them longer by joining one to the other.

It must be time to go, the suns out and I've got a full tank of diesel!
We have a granite fireplace hearth! Love to be a little different.

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.
Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Dump the zip ties for some good old fashioned stainless hose clamps. The kind you tighten with a screwdriver.
Because the non-UV rated zip ties deteriorate relatively quickly, whereas the UV rated ones (which come in many colors besides black), last much longer.
Even the UV rated ties are only UV resistant, not UV proof. They still will eventually fail, probably sooner than you think (I'm speaking from experience here). You have a several thousand dollar RV (probably tens of thousands)yet you want to cheap out and use the zip ties? The stainless hose clamps are stronger and pretty much last forever.

Past couple years I've managed to keep the birds out of the kingpin box with some stiff sorta-chicken wire mesh, but not the mud daubers. After digging out maybe five pounds of dauber nests I replaced the chicken wire with a flexible sheet of plastic (lid off an old storage bin - and a cheap one at that) cut a little bit larger than the hole, screwed a couple of rusty old cabinet knobs on it to assist positioning and voila! No way the birds can get in and I think the daubers will have to be satisfied with the 2-3" remaining that I couldn't seal off for the wiring harness assembly.
