Some accessories for the Oliver

I spent my day today adding some items to the Oliver.  No RV comes completely outfitted, you you always get some things to make it more liveable.
I got this mini weather station on Amazon.  It has three remote sensors, plus the sensor in the main display.
I stuck it on the wall with velcro near the front door and below the lighting panel.  Sensor 1 is the outside temp, Sensor 2 is in the bathroom, Sensor 3 is between the hulls.  The bottom reading is the cabin temp.
There was a really good place to mount the outside sensor in propane locker right on the frame rail.
I found this Brita filtering pitcher on Amazon.  I've been looking for one that was slim enough to fit in the door.  They have an even smaller one, but this one will do - it's 6 cups.
I got this Induction Cooktop because some people I know were raving about it.  Time will tell if it was a good purchase.  Fairly compact as I can store it in a drawer.  Might be good to use outside.
I got this Blu-Ray player hooked up using an HDMI switch.  Now I can switch between the blu-ray, the furrion's DVD and the Dish receiver.   I like that the switch gets power off the HDMI plug and will autoswitch to whatever device is on.  The player will connect to internet via my mifi and will stream netflix, amazon prime and youtube.
I also got this temperature sensor kit for the refrigerator.  It has one for the refrigerator compartment, one for the freezer.  You can set alarms to go off if it gets too warm.
I also got this chrome paper towel holder.  I think it matches well enough.  Decided to stick on with 3M tape instead of screws.  We'll see if it stays stuck on.

I got a few other things too, something to put grocery bags in, and a neat knife holder to put in a drawer.

  1. Like these and have a few of the same for our Casita. I, too, put the temp sensor in my propane cover. Used a small bungee to keep it there. Love your Brita - mine is too big to keep in fridge. May be tempted to downsize. Thanks for sharing.

  2. You may not want to put anything too heavy on the shelves in the refrigerator door when you travel, the plastic isn't real sturdy. Of course our Casita has a lot more bounce on the road than the Oliver, but I hear the replacement shelves are pretty pricey.
