A couple of other things that are working well are these headlamps http://www.homedepot.com/p/Coast-HL7...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

Unlike others where you're constantly pushing buttons, these have ONE button, then it's a twist to focus and a slide to adjust lighting power.

These air deflectors are great for the furnace - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Accord-3-5-...lector/3260347

Make sure you get the ones labeled 'Heavy Duty Air Deflector'. At my Lowes the next bin over had a air deflector that looked the same, but it melted from the furnace heat, these Heavy Duty ones do not.

You'll need additional magnets to keep them secured to the furnace grate - http://www.homedepot.com/p/MASTER-MA...6254/203613123

One of these on each end of the air deflector holds it to the furnace grate. Lowes doesn't carry these, Home Depot is the spot.

Forgot to mention this water bladder - http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...45-gallon/1605

It's easy to figure out how to use it once you get it in your hands. It's a siphon feed into the fresh tank from this 4Runner's bed. Drained and folded it fits under the dinette seat by the water tank and water pump.
