Yes, and keeping in mind the weight distribution requirements of your rig, we needed more on the passenger side anyhow. Below is a photo of hubby dear's invention of his heavy duty Tool Drawers .....

i pop riveted a bag clip to a blank ignition key and clip it on the antenna crank, and when i put the antenna up, i slide it in the ignition ,so you have to take it out before you start the engine.

I use a Potato Chip bag clip which I put on the antenna crank. When I raise the antenna, I put the clip on the steering wheel. Can't miss it there.

Over the last 10 years we have purchased new two travel trailers and a Class A motorhome. No one at any of the dealers mentioned the following tip: don't dump the black tank when pulling up stakes. Drive to the next campground and let the stuff slosh around. then when you arrive and hook everything up, dump the black and start over again.

Lots of good tips here.
Carpet samples are 27" wide and my steps are 27" wide so I cut them in half or to fit and have a bound on 3 sides carpet for the steps. They are cheap so you can change them out when durty or you want to change colors.

Hi All
I have carpet runners I put down to the cockpit and along the floor in front of the driver's seat when I take the MH in for service. In the past we have had stains on the carpet from the mechanics boots. Easy to take up when they are done and store in the basement.

I have one that will also help with the "fat wallet" as well as the "sweaty money" problem. When I was deploying last fall, I carried my cards and cash in my pocket, but while out with friends I lost my govt travel card. Next day while down in the hotel gift store I found one of these Waterproof Carrier
I run the lanyard through a belt loop, then drop the carrier through the loop. My money, id, and credit cards are all secure and dry. Even though I am back in the States I still do this.

We go to the "Dollar Tree" and get the metal black paper clips and they can be used for all kinds of uses. We use them to hold up our "tacky" lights on the awning flap, keep curtains closed, and as chip clips. You get several sizes for only a dollar. I also take and cut plastic funnells to go around each cord (put tape over cut to seal it tight to cords) or hose connected to MH with large end facing down and sprayed inside with PAM to keep out ants. They cannot hold onto the slick plastic while upside down. John
