    I had foggy headlights on my old Ford Taurus as well. Meguires makes a product just for that that works very well. Cleared them up beautifully. Also, I’ve heard that Mr. clean magic erasers work well too.

    Nice magnetic signs. Hope they stay on, during your road trips. Usually the wind rips them off after a while, driving down the highway.
    Maybe before putting them on, and maybe once a month, clean the van surface and the back of the magnetic plate. Tiny stones/dirt deposited there from rains, splash ups etc., may give the wind its chance to lift it off your van.
    If I'm driving through Illinois and I see one on the highway, I'll get it back to you!

    You might want to remove those magnets and put them in the van when you leave it. They may “walk” otherwise.

    Smart idea doing the huge magnet advertisement rather than a wrap or something expensive. Plus you can keep it as a souvenir if you sell Vanna White someday.

      And that's why we have 6 cameras on the outside with signs indicating as such. Like the past, they'll be famous on my channel if they throw a garbage can at my RV, or climb my rear ladder to steal a solar panel, or steal my RV toys, or siphon my gas.... lol. You guys mock me for the cameras.... but those 4 videos are my top grossing videos and saved my butt.

    The only suggestion for the Aux tail lights on the carrier would be to switch the Running lights with the Indicator lights.
    the outer ring is way to bright as running lights. take care

    Looks great, love the new lights--little things make such a difference! The magnets are great however beware, I used them when I owned a business and at high speeds on the highway in Northern Indiana, I lost one---and a few days later the other came off. They were very secure and I hated that I could not just stop and pick them up, but I could not. Hope you have better luck than I did.

    Here in Michigan we have been getting more than the usual amount of rain as well, or at least that's what it feels like. We have traveled out in our fifth wheel on two separate three week jaunts and it has rained a good amount of the time that we were camping. Came back home to 8 inch tall grass each time. Good luck on getting Miranda fixed soon. I wish I had some sort of connection that I could share with you on obtaining the needed parts...
