What's the purpose of the big valve on your sewer ? Do you dump grey and black at the same time?

If you have a trailer with long pipes and not much of a slope like mine you may get some extra goodness collecting at the cap after everything is closed. I am going to buy one too. To get mine totally clean I'd have to sit there with the internal sprayers going for a bit. Prob take 1/2 hour to dump and clean everything. My motorhome was quick and easy. My trailer is more time consuming

I know of people who think it's funny to open ur black valve fill the line then close it......

My main purpose is I run a macerator pump with a clear flush attachment.
So i can close outlet valve then turn on fresh water and flush clean water threw pump and discharge hose.

Nice!
Anyone have a tire pressure monitor system on their trailer / motorhome?

When i picked mine up, they had a trailer in service that blew a tire...he said he never noticed until the panal where coming off.... it looked nasty!

some cheap ones on eBay but you need a repeater /booster to pick up signal .( Most motor homes are too long , never mind a trailer )


also get a 5-6 monitors for spare tires .

I made this storage compartment under my trailer. Used cannonball track for the rollers. Great for all the dirty stuff to store.

Wife picked up the magnet door stops today before we came out. Prob install while camping this weekend

We have a bunch of the magnetic door stops in our house (from Lee Valley).
Nice for holding the garage door open when you're carrying stuff in & out & also for keeping the wind from blowing the doors shut.

Update fyi, the observation camera works great, I can drive around block unhooked from trailer and not loose reception.
Only downfall is my trailer came prewired but they wired it direct to power source, so it's on 24/7 or till batt dies. So next will be install a switch or see if i can tie into the marker lights
