RV Cover Protection
Air horns and other items on a motorhome roof may have sharp edges that can rip holes in a motorhome cover. I bought a plastic snow sled at a retail store. I secure it to the air horns using a bungee cord before I cover the motorhome. This works great.

Shelf Storage
Our motorhome came equipped with a pair of narrow nightstands, which didn’t quite hold all of our necessities. We created extra space near the ceiling by building small shelves with a narrow raised lip. The shelves are secured to the corners with short screws and a bit of construction adhesive. The shelves are light maple, like the original cabinetry, so they look like they were meant to be there.

“Runway” Lighting
We work full-time, which means we must pull into campsites at night. Backing in sometimes proves to be difficult, because the blinding glare of the backup lights makes the rearview camera useless. We came up with a quick, easy, inexpensive solution. Once we reach the site, Karen exits the motorhome and quickly stretches down a set of blue LEDs along the concrete pad on the driver’s side. The rope lights are plugged into the site’s power pole and provide a great “runway” of sorts to guide Dwayne as he uses the side mirrors to back into the spot. Works great.

Editor’s note: It is still prudent for a person to observe the coach back-in process so as to avoid objects such as tree limbs.
