Today, I’m upgrading the 30-amp power inlet connection on the RV to a SmartPlug. I’ve been wanting one for a while. I already have one installed on our boat, and they’re so much safer than the old twist lock style you see on a lot of boats and RVs. Recently, my twist lock arced, so … Read more
Took advantage of a gorgeous mid-January day, sunny, dry, and not too chilly, to finally replace the cracked shower skylight on the RV roof. The old one developed a large crack (probably from a tree branch), and the plastic started to craze badly. Wasn’t thrilled with that dark-tinted model anyway. This new white one feels … Read more
Today I’m checking out the OXS S3 soundbar. Figured it’d be perfect for our RV’s 43-inch TV with those puny built-in speakers, a significant upgrade for movies and shows. Fair Disclosure: Product was sent to me as a free review sample Unboxed: remote with Bluetooth, volume/mute, and EQ presets (movie, music, news), plus cables for … Read more

In this video, I install a Titan 12V inline vent fan to boost the airflow into our fifth-wheel trailer bedroom using the RV furnace. Due to the location of the bedroom heating ducts and the distance from the furnace fan, it has been relatively weak. The booster fan helps get more heated air where we … Read more
In this video, I install an AIRLOCK air purifier inside my RV air conditioner and wire it to the fan power. When the AC fan runs, the RV air is purified by Bipolar Ionization Technology. AIRLOCK claims it helps remove odors and clean the air of small particles. It also eliminates coronaviruses (bovine and porcine), … Read more

In this video, I introduce a new product from Haloview called the BT7 Touch TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System). It’s a wireless camera system for RV, just like the Btye Tango 7 Touch I installed and reviewed last winter, but with the addition of a TPMS. The video includes an unboxing, a list of features, … Read more
In this video, I swap out our 12-year-old Atwood RV stove/oven for a brand-new Furrion 21″ stove. New features will include oven light, knob lighting, oven remote lighting via sparked, and windowed oven door. Installation was relatively straightforward, with only one LP gas connection and two wires for the 12V power. The new stove slide … Read more

New Byte Tango Features: 1080P Resolution and Recording vs. 720P New Generation … Read more
