Or just put in in your bank account. I normally stash an extra $100 bill or two in my wallet along with my regular cash walking around money but other than that debit cards and credit cards are safer than cash. So I'd say it's downright foolish to be holding a lot of cash in your RV unless you are a professional poker player or something.

We got one of these and since important papers are where they should be, in a safe deposit box, we use this for a spare $20 bill, truck key, credit card, and house key. There's room for more smaller stuff but we've got what we need in there. Of course, this isn't any good for those who need the hitch to pull their trailer. The former owner of my truck pulled a trailer but we have a fiver so it's "found" space for us.

I just got one of those for my truck to keep an emergency key in case the battery goes dead and I can't use the keypad to get in. Construction seems to be pretty solid.
Some reviews I read said people had problems with the pins and internal slides used to secure the safe housing to the receiver socket were prone to rusting, making it difficult to impossible remove. I used some waterproof plumber's grease I already had knocking about to coat the slides and pins to hopefully repel any water that may cause rust otherwise. I put the key in a small ziplock parts bag to protect it since it is possible for water to get into the tray. I'm probably being overly paranoid but it's better to be safe than sorry.

The accumulator tanks are used often in marine applications. All of the boating stores have them or can order. You can also order them online if you don't have a store close to you.

He did a mod and liked the results he got.
So you prefer that I don't ask him what he used and where he got it?
I'm curious, why?

You are obviously new here. Welcome.
This forum has been around a long time. Many issues have been discussed, and then discussed, and then discussed...
If you do a search on the accumulator tank, you will get dozens (hundreds?) of results on how different people have performed this mod.
A search will benefit YOU because you WILL find a method that YOU like better than the one that was just mentioned. No offense to the guy that just mentioned it, but doing a search will show you many different ways to do this mod.
