Wow! This thread kills me - it keeps creating "need to haves" for my trailer I - of course now need to get built both USB type ports by the TV. Makes such sense now that you mention it

I love how you have USB type C.. that's future proofing yourself as I think everything will become type c connection ( heard apple might be going this way over lightning - and Samsung has already)

Well forget tundra towing space ship. This is more real life practicality

A quick public service announcement: I purchased a BRUNNHOELZL jack and custom made a wall hanger to store it in the trailer. Shorty after this, I began racing a Cup car that had air jacks. Needless to say, the jack was ignored over those years. Now that I'm back to a car without air jacks (and not doing arrive and drive with my race shop), I've begun using the jack again. However, it had no lifting power and once you did manage to get the car up, it wouldn't hold. So I sent it back to BRUNNHOELZL for repair. They told me to never store the jack in this orientation. Always store it flat on the floor. Air gets trapped in the jack and it can dry out seals and you end up with a useless jack as I did. I'm now storing it on my crash cart, laying flat.

^^^Good to know. My very pricey Harbor Freight jack died a similar death. Before throwing it out, I decided to open the bleed screw and put some more hydraulic fluid in there, and resurrected it from the dead. Still going strong 5 years later.

Your pic reminded me....My trailer came with a nitrogen/air bottle - where do you get these things filled up?

Industrial gas supply houses. They supply welders, etc.
