I didn't see a thread by this name, so I thought I'd start one.

What did you do for your travel trailer recently? What new gadget, modification or kindness have you shown to your trailer lately?

I got a Camco Tri Leveler leveling block and I also bought a Camco RV Water Filter and a new front porch mat

Yes we have Progressive. They have been great. Called and made the claim and that day received a call from our rep. He told us to,take it wherever we wanted and he would go up there and make the estimate. We took it,up to the repair center and the next day the Progressive rep was there. Agreed with what the repair center said and check sent cut. Now we have to,wait in line to get into the service center to work on it. They said should be done end of May. So we are still hoping for,our July Myrtle Beach trip.

Price was around $300+ depending. I think I got mine through Amazon. Decided on it after following many reviews.

Installation is very simple. All directions are included. Once installed and set you can remove and reinstall on the same wheel as needed. I made a wooden template with holes drilled in it to identify the individual wheels on the TT and TV to hold the appropriate sensor. Remove and place in the correct hole and when ready to reinstall you know exactly where they go. A real breeze.

We did a 6700 mile trip out west last Spring. I had real piece of mind knowing that if anything went wrong I would know immediately. Thankfully, all went well.

What did I do to my TT lately? I looked at it, and hoped that the snow on the roof would eventually melt!

Yesterday it was near 60 degrees, so I'm getting excited to de-winterize and get out and camp sometime before Easter.

Next thing I might do is make it to where I can use the water system when it is below freezing. Still thinking on that though.

My 180CK has the double bed in the back corner with the pantry at the foot, a single bunk over along with the shirt wardrobe. So it feels like a cave, especially where I sleep on the outside directly under the bunk. Doesn't bug me but the one overhead light on the ceiling does nothing for our bed. So ran a whole new 12V circuit from the fuse panel under the pantry up the wall, along the inside of the bunk and installed 2 new lights near the head of the bed, and one up in the cave area of the top bunk. Now I can read at night without having to use a flashlight!

Bought a 1/2" cordless impact wrench to keep the lugs tight on the trailer. No more hand tightening.

Just purchased a Craftsman "evolv" 77 piece ratchet and socket set. This one was a small carry case, with small sockets both SAE and metric. Slowly seeing what tools are needed on the road.
