I hate having the hoses and shore power cables sitting on the ground. I saw a picture of this on the internet and I thought it was brilliant. I’ve since lost the link of the original, but here’s my version.
To make this work, I combined two really good (but still inexpensive) suction cups and a pair of mommy clips. The hose and cable goes into the hooks and they go on to the suction cups.
I make sure that I have the hose arranged so the hook is taking the weight of the water filter instead of the inlet on the side of the camper.
I use quick releases all around to save a few minutes during setup and teardown.
We’re really happy with our Coachmen Apex 215RBK but there are a few design flaws. Early this summer we discovered one of the biggest.
Almost no cold air from the AC gets past the entertainment center into the bedroom!!! This made for a very hot night until my wife figured out if we rotated the TV 90 degrees so it sat between our feet then the air could get through. This was a genius work around.
It’s amazing how many paper towels we go through on a camping trip. We put one of these holders outside and one inside. They have a “clicky” movement so the towel roll doesn’t move unless you really mean it to. This is great for dealing with road vibration. Note: I installed these with the screws…
There were several surprising things about the outdoor kitchen. There are 4 large holes in the back of the kitchen and a few small ones that are superhighways for critters. On nice days we tend to leave the door open so this had to be fixed. Coleman generally makes good products but the included grill…
I’m old. I lean on things. I happened to lean on the outdoor socket on my 215RBK when I stood up from placing the X-Chocks and it moved. A lot. I realized that they were using the foam on the outlet cover to seal the giant hole in the side of the trailer. And since…
One of the great things about the Coachmen Apex 215RBK is the crazy amount of storage. The bathroom cabinets are huge and the cabinet over the sink is really big too. The problem with both of these cabinets is without shelves that much space isn’t useful. We used standard wire shelves that you can get…
