Not the belabour my point but check into boil water advisories and recommendations and you’ll see that just not drinking the water might not be sufficient if the water is contaminated.

Added LED lights to shower skylight
We wanted a little more light than the single ceiling light in the bathroom so I added some waterproof RGB LEDs to the shower skylight.
I tapped into the ceiling light wires so they come on with the light switch. I used a micro RF RGB remote controller and hid it on the inside of the skylight shroud so everything is clean and out of sight with no wires visible anywhere. Since it's an RF controller, there was no need to have an IR eye visible or point the remote at the skylight. Because the skylight shroud is tapered, there was a slight gap in each corner where I bent the lights around the shroud so I filled the small gap with clear aquarium sealant.
I don't really see us using any of the many colors or effects, but I went with RGB anyway so the option is there. The controller has a memory function, so it remembers the previous setting when the light switch is turned on. I'll probably Velcro the remote to the wall
Here's some pics:
Shower with the lights set to white, which is probably what we'll use 99% of the time. I love the look and it's better in person. Really brightens the whole bathroom!
Here's a close up
And here's a shot of some blue for the fun of it
This is the RF controller I used

I like what you did! Have the stuff to do it on hand. Bought for our old TT but ended up buying a new 2018 TT last summer. My new project when it warms up. PS: great pictures posted

I pulled the batteries on my brand new TT today, in 18 degree weather. I brought them home to keep a Battery Tender on them.

Do you not have a battery disconnect switch?

Unpacked the Amazon boxes with new stuff for the new Fifth Wheel. Have a Residential Fridge and investor for such. I bough some Solar Panels on sale, an moppet controller and assorted connectors to make my storage lot solar array. No AC power and sometimes we travel weekend to weekend so this will allow me too keep up and run the fridge on Solar between trips.

That will be a nice feature when your done, I was glad I added the solar on our unit when we ordered as that is what we do, it's nice just turn the fridge before we are ready and the house fridge cools down much faster then the rv fridge did, it is nice having the batteries full when sitting in storage.

Received the TST 507 RV setup. These were the highest rated and glad to have them. Now need to get the rig home to get them installed.

1. Made some measurements for some mods I'm doing.
2. Hung a shoe organizer in my closet to put underwear, socks, and stuff. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
3. Finished buying the things needed for my project which I'll work on next week.

Today I test fit our enlarged oak table for the dinette. We went from the u shaped dinette with a 35x27 table to a standard, 2 bench dinette with a 35x44 table. I still have a couple pieces to mount to the bench fronts so that we can continue to convert it to a bed if need be.
Current table and the old original dinette:

Swapped out pilot assembly in my oven with new one. No more pilot blowing out when oven reaches set temp.
Could have had it done under warranty for free but cost of gas to take trailer to Dealer and back would have cost more than just buying the pilot assy and doing it myself. Took 15 minutes, a small adjustable wrench, and Phillip's head screwdriver. If I'd taken it to the Dealer it would have taken anywhere from half a day to a month. Part cost me $21 which included shipping and a 10% Sales Tax.

Is this the Suburban pilot light? I bought the updated part and it did not fix my issue. I ended up just enlarging the pilot light hole with a small needle so that the pilot flame is bigger and that ended up dong the trick

Still in storage....So, I threw in another box of dryer sheets.
Also picked up some water filters, brass elbow, and another drinking water hose.
Next, I need to check the batteries.
