Batteries for the remote and Happy Camper for the toilet. Nice catalog Ozz. I am sure you are a member of escapees....may want to get their input and if you are looking to expand, perhaps a MDT and HDT section for the big and bigger trucks. Good luck

To view Ozz's catalog if you are using The iPad, try using the app called " Puffin Browser" Free for a couple of weeks, than a nominal fee.
I have been using this for about 6 months now, it allows me to view flash required on my iPhone and iPad. I just looked through the OZ book of RV stuff, great offers.
Ozz you are the best, great idea, we hope you dont over work yourself, and not have time to keep making those great mods.

What would you say are the items we replace often in our rigs? Things like sliding closet door catches, rocker or 120 volt paddle switches, items like that.
I am putting together MOC items for special pages in my catalog.
Thanks!
Without being fictitious The one thing I have replace multiple times are Tires.

Two roofs, One for the Monty one for SOB. Only because of tree impact damage (ins covered).

Those little plastic caps for the water low point drains.
I still have not, had to replace a plastic sliding door clip (just jinxed myself there though).

RTV cabinet door Glass to keep from falling out (the old glue yellows
and deteriorates)

120V light bulbs. The traffic signal ones hold up much better. The HD filament is supported in 4 additional places.

Fuses and circuit breakers. Orange outside light under awning and the one in the front by the storage compartment.

And one automatic switchover propane regulator.

Thats all I can think of for now.

Two things that I think would be handy to have would be the plastic clips that hold back the curtains on the bedroom window slides and a small roll of eternabond tape that has many uses.

I would add the H/W heater check valve (brass).

How about a selection of air mattresses that last longer than the POS original equipment ones. This is probably model specific but nonetheless Keystone.

Way too many toilet water valves. Now keep a backup supply as the repair kit is a lot cheaper than the toilet (have replaced the toilet and two subsequent valve kits). Also, unfortunately, the propane autochangeover valve.

OZZ, Don't forget the venerable Apollo Half Time Oven. I went thru two and one repair during my 4 years full timing, Of course we used it quite often.

Stove grommets - finally fixed them - took a wine cork and cut 4 grommets disks the about 1/4" thick and drilled a hole the size of the stove grate leg. Threw the old rubber ones away and fit those on. Last set lasted 4 years.
Closet latches - remove and throw them away and just use Velcro, about a 4" strip.

Water softeners and PARTS. I need the hose Y connector that has the restrictor in it on one side for the Flo-Pur RV 10000 and can't find it anywhere.

Ozz, I did contact them by phone and they said they had some in their Phoenix location, but didn't normally sell direct to the public, but was supposed to call me with a solution and they never got back to me. All I get now when I call is a voice mail. Been trying for several days now to fix this.

Oh well, with a Dremel Tool, a knife, and a bloody finger and thumb I was able to dig out the restrictor and I bought a new valve at Lowes. If I can get it pushed into the new valve I'll be back in business with a heavier Y valve than before.

If you can get parts from them, you would be the only business in the country with parts for these softeners.

Worked like a charm. We's cookin' with Crisco now. I didn't realize until my thumb started bleeding again that blood makes a pretty good lubricant for plastic parts. Good thing it can't get into our water supply. It might make anyone who drinks our water smarter. I got that Smart Missouri Hillbilly DNA ya know.

Ha, sorry for the cut finger, but good repair.
I emailed him and scolded him for stiffing you, not good customer relations at all.
(I also asked if he wanted me to sell his softeners, we will see.)
It is possible since he doesn't sell direct to the public that he turned it over to a dealer, the dealer did not follow through. bad either way.

Ozz:
Last year I replaced something that I thought should have never worn out. The spare tire cable/gear box assembly went bad. I don't think I have had very many flat tires. It would be nice that when the little cable gear box goes bad that you could just order that part, held on with 2 bolts. When Keystone sells you that, you have to buy the whole under carrage spare tire rack that is bolted to the frame.

I see that a lot of people break the closet door latches. I carry spare in one of the drawers
