The phrase "until the cows come home" originated from the farming practice of letting dairy cattle graze in open pastures during the day and waiting for them to slowly meander back to the barn for milking in the evening.

Instead of using a clamp on your baggage door do what I do on My Alliance Paradigm 395DS. Use a bungee cord. Hook it into the interior door latch and then hook the other end onto the grab support for the front hydraulic leg.

Instead of tubing for the ac drains...we use cut pool noodles, as a bonus, they protect our cover from ripping on the ac drains in the winter!

I Love the water tip! You can run the water to a water dish for the dogs!

You could get a magnetic cell phone holder with the extendable arm to hold open the compartment next to the propane compartment. Put the adhesive plate on the compartment door, and the suction cup side on the propane door. Then just remove the suction cup side on travel days or when you won't be in the utility compartment for a few days.<br>I have the inside of the compartment door covered with Command hooks where you have your X Chock ratchet

I actually use those same solar motion lights on my fences. I have some very dark areas on my property and I worried about letting my dog go out alone at night. This way they are on dim through the night, but if anything larger than a raccoon was in the yard, the bright mode would activate. I'm in a rural area with several types of predators.

Put the magnets on the knobs that are hitting the door, also you could not cut the pool noodle all the way to create a stop. We keep a headlamp and sunglasses above the door.

Use two of the strong magnetic hooks and put a cord on them. Put one on the inside of the outside compartment door leaving one hanging. When you want the door to stay open take the dangling magnet (off the door) and put it on the outside of the RV until you are ready to close it.

I love those solar lights. I have four of them and I epoxied some bar magnets on them and put them out when I setup. I keep them away from the door enough to light up the space, but not attract bugs at the door. I never use the porch light now that I have the the solar lights.
