I put additional child safety latches on my drawers and cabinets years ago. I'll have to look into that as it might work just as well and be a less expensive option.
Some minor mods today. We use the garage as the baby's room, but the night shades weren't cutting it, and the top window had no blinds at all. Just too bright. Was going to attempt to tint, but found these Camco door window covers were a good fit. Tops were perfect and bottoms needed a bit of trimming. It is now DARK in there for minimal cost and aggravation. They are velcroed on so they can be rolled up if not needed so the windows don't overheat.
Also added these ugly obnoxious decals to the doors. Last trip kiddo was leaning on the door, I opened it and he came flying out. I caught him just before he hit the steps, but it scared the ***** out of me, him, and mom who saw it happen. Trying to remember to knock is hard, this ugly reminder should help. Don't ever want to repeat that.
Be careful with the window covers on the doors. I had them on both my doors and the reflected sun light warped and melted the plastic window frames.
I took the child safety latch idea! This weekend while camping I installed 14 latches on my drawers and cabinets. I got them from Wal-Mart. They work well except that the included screws are too short. I'll be replacing the screws that go on the cabinet side (not the door) eventually. I already ripped out a couple of them.
I had time on my hands this weekend and a full container of cleaning wipes. I cleaned all the grease out from under the stove top hood and then removed the exhaust fan from its motor and cleaned the fan. It came off with a little encouragement and went back on about the same. It was quite dirty. I need to clean the filter next as it's probably worse.

So far that one has been on over 2 years with no issues. That pic was taken about the only time of the day that side of the trailer gets any sun, and none of it direct. I will keep all the ones in the garage rolled up unless needed. Actually, I have one stuffed in my skylight too. Also been there 2 years with no issues I've seen. I could do without the skylight, all it does is heat the trailer up.
This weekend I painted the front nose of trailer's coupler using Plasti-Dip Blaze Yellow. I couldn't find the coupler in the backup camera mostly because the coupler blended in with the gravel and also because I think the 2017 OEM backup camera isn't very good. With the coupler a very different color it is a lot easier to spot in the camera screen.
They installed the roof membrane in such a way our supplier would have voided the warranty if we did that at work. So fixed the roof and replaced the insulation with a upper and lower layer of 1" foam board, replaced the ceiling with planks and gave it the barn board look.
The space port vents came in after I took the picture.
Fixed the return also. They had 2 6"x9" that were 1" deep feeding the return that was stuffed with all of the wiring. A bit louder but about 2x the air flow.

I'm looking to rip out the U shaped Dinette in our Wolfpack Toyhauler and replace it with a couch. Anyone know of a reseller for RV Couches (Something similar to the Theater reclining seating that comes in a Montana, but three wide)
It's a very wide and deep dinette (Deep enough for recliners). We thought getting it would be a good option. It's poorly built, uncomfortable and essentially useless.
We're running a powered dual reclining theater seat from HOM Furniture and love it...
No need to buy camper/trailer specific stuff - it's the biggest racket!
