What did you do to your camper today?

Are the sensors screwed on the valve stem.

Yes they are. I opted for the flow thru sensors so I could air up the tire without removing the sensor. If you are interested in them, there are a lot of video reviews about them.

Mike I'm currently using my Valor TPMS that came with our 2012 Landmark. I have them on my truck as well, but I have chosen to sell the 2500 HD and update.
The new truck will have there own. So I might consider a new system for the RV. I can stick with the Valor but sensors are 50$ to purchase plus paying to install as them. I also have three sensors that are intermittent.

My truck has its own sensors as well. The $50 price for each sensor seems to be the norm with other brands as well. If you are paying for install I'm guessing yours are internal sensors? My motorcycle and truck both have internal sensors which makes it hard to fix if they go bad. On the other hand, no one can steal them like the screw on type.

I heard that some have an anti-theft device.

First time washing the 5th wheel before dropping off at the the storage lot for the winter. Used Camco wash and was not happy wit it. Ended up using dawn to get the black streaks off. Not sure if I want to invest in a cover yet.

Man those bugs on the front cap are a bear to get off.

Dryer sheets work great

Try a product called Bugs N All

This reminds me that the front of my truck needs a dose of it right now. Easy to use, spray on, let sit a few seconds and wipe it off.

Through the California central valley, the desert heat, then cross country through Ohio to Massachusetts to Florida then back to California. 11k miles and three months. Did not have a chance to clean until we got home. The bugs were horrible. Bug-N-All did a fantastic job in about an hour. This was some really baked on and caked on stuff. By the way it seems to take care of that road tar as well.

Removed the CY loft vent. It was the manual raise/lower/on/off type that we "could almost reach before throwing out our backs".

Relocated the galley vent that is remotely operated from the monitor panel back to the loft and extended the wires....now the loft dome lift and fan are controlled from the monitor panel.

Installed the top.o.the.line automatic temp/rain sensored Fantastic Fan onto that gapping 14" square hole I had left in the galley. Used ~12' of putty tape and 1.25 tubes of Dicor self leveling caulk for both vents.

We have a remote temp sensor at the ceiling between those 2 vents....temps can be upwards of 10° hotter during days up there than at waist level. We boondock, so venting the trailer during very warm days without AC is a priority for us and our 8 fur babies. Now gotta rest my knees and butt for a couple days.

I'm wondering if you all think I should tile up the left side of the window or stop where it's at in the picture.
Decided to upgrade our backsplash. All that's left is a few cuts and then grout.
The original one was glued to the wall with silicone. I used a putty knife and it pulled off in one piece.

Ok we decided to go ahead with the tile up the left side of the window.

Looks Good!
We dressed up our kitchen and bath backsplash too although I used the sticky tiles.

Ordered this off Amazon only works with the Vair 400P-RV & 450P-RV. Should come in handy if we have to quickly winterize and head back home from Texas

Had some minor paint flaking along the edge of my kingpin cover. $9.75 with Amazon Prime and about 15 minutes of work. I like it!

That trim you added around the cover edge is really cool. Trims out the look and removes any hard edges to the skin (read: scalp :).
