Installed a Prodigy P3. 
Remounted and replaced the trailer wiring at the plug as well. Drug it in a creek and it was just hanging. Factory replacement, $200+, Hopkins direct replacement through etrailer, $28.

New tires
Before I was to swap the studded snow tires for the summer wheels, I noticed how little tread was left after last summer. Not quite to the wear bars, but close enough that I didn't want to tow a trailer all season with them.
The four seasons are almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

We're getting ready to hit the road fulltime. Where do you live with those four seasons so we can be sure to skip it

There are 4 of us that camp together a lot and we use them to talk with each other on the tow to and from the camp sites. It is easier and much faster then a cell phone if an emergency arises and if we need to lane change, ect.
They are a lot of fun. We do not use channel 19.... To much chatter. We use 13 which is the most common RV channel.

We stay off of channel 19. Too much chatter and they can get nasty. LOL We use 13 which is the most common channel for RVers.

Derale engine oil cooler installation on late model RAM
Got my first test tow in last weekend after installing a Derale oil cooler with fan on the RAM. Major improvement in oil temp. Rather than mid 230's the temp stayed in the low 220's. Very happy with the unit. This is the one "issue" I noticed with the RAM hemi. No oil cooler. I'm much happier with the temps now and considering the MDS system in these hemis, it's cheap insurance.
I made a quick video showing how I installed it in the truck if anyone is interested.

Not at all... took me about two hours, but that's just because of all the running back and forth to get the right tools. I would say one hour would have been enough time.

Bed liner
I had a spray in bed liner applied and windows tinted. Then I installed a vinyl bed cover. Now we're ready!

Radiator cracked so I replaced it along with hoses and drive belt, did the water pump too since we were in there. 155k miles, so glad it is done.

Installed a 9000 lumens cree led light bar. Our tractor supply has 1 more 30 in and 2 shorter ones on clearance that I may swing by and pick up. Maybe mount one on the back and find a way to mount the smaller ones on the camper
