270ah Lithium. For extended stays.

This is def on the long list! How do you keep these protected during winter use or when the RV is not being used in the winter?

Well...I suppose I can live without any accessories! But they're nice to have

It's not particular to an RV, but I would say a 3D printer! I'm a FTer so it comes everywhere with me. I've made remote holders, hat hooks, Wallet/Key holder, brackets for my lithium upgrade, cable holders, grommets, and many other things. It's a nice freedom to have when you start RVing and find little things that could be improved with a simple printed part.

I've been debating on this before the RV but this is genius.

Do you do your own programming/building of files?

You can bring the battery inside the house for the winter OR the brand I use Sun Fun Kits has a totally automated heater kit inside assuming you can leave your rig plugged in. It doesn't get that clod where we live. Even when we camp at 10°, that batteries still stay warm enough to accept a charge. I have since relocated inside the RV

Small tool kit with the basic, plus a multi-meter, wire cutter/strippers. Spare fuses.

Find all your GFI outlets. Other outlets are daisy chained to them. So if the GFI trips, it will take out other outlets. An easy way to find which outlets go with which GFI's. Is to test trip the GFI and then plug a light into each outlet.

Yep - most of the prints in the RV are from scratch. The only exceptions are the hat hooks and Amazon Fire TV remote holder. For the batteries it really helped me work around what was there already instead of figuring out what to build.

Plus I've found that most of the FB groups for your particular RV typically have others that will share files with you for things that improve various aspects.

I carry a spare water pump and propane regulator, propane hoses. I also carry different length water hoses.

Because our camper is small and has limited storage space, we bring a small cheap tent. At a campground we use it to store stuff like chairs, bicycle, other stuff we don't want inside and don't want to get wet. Also if we go out it shows the campsite is still occupied while keeping stuff from prying eyes.
