As you've read in our previous posts, we've picked up a few items along the way and learned some new ideas from others at the campsite or online at the Forest River Forums (makers of Flagstaff Campers). The fishing rod holder works great, and we even received some compliments this weekend. The step and landing box worked awesome as well. Turns out, the leveling shims and blocking fit perfectly in it.
So, a trip or two to Walmart and Lowes and we have a few items to share. The 10x10 canopy that we have used for a long time makes a perfect screened in area for the picnic table. This helps greatly reduce the bugs and doubles as a play area / game area in the evening if we turn on the rope light. This casts a nice glow over the area without being intrusive for the neighboring camps.

With storage space a premium in the camper, this idea on the forums was a great one. Take the metal bathroom organizer at Walmart and use it as a shelf unit / pantry over the stove! Just left off the bottom section and we had to trim the top for height, but it fits well and lets us unpack a box of stuff from the car and not keep moving it in the camper.
The sink vent system worked fantastic. No backups or slow drainage from the sink during dish duty or even during the rinsing of the lines where I run the water for about a minute.

So, now that you have seen our updates, the next post will talk about our great trip to Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA. Nearly 300 photos from this weekend!
With enough practice it will look like a NASCAR pit stop. You should see Mary and I with the plane for pre-flight and securing at the end of a days flying.
