I carry lime and a shovel in the trunk for the same reasons.I keep a jug of bleach in the plumbing bay for . . . unfortunate incidents.

That's too much work for me. I hire those out.I carry lime and a shovel in the trunk for the same reasons.
When wet cell batteries (I'm ignorant about AGM and other advanced types) are charged the chemical reaction takes place from the anode and cathode connections and over time permeates the whole battery, so that immediately after charging a voltmeter will read falsely high. Apparently the charged state chemistry diminishes from the bottom up, which is why without a load the top of the cells will register a good charge while the cells at depth are weaker. A heavy load will quickly reverse the chemistry at the top of the battery and drop it to the lower average, generating the lower true readings.

I think.
Creative thinking. Long J-shaped nozzles are widely available but I don't know if they've got a valve.Here's one of mine. I have to park under two Oak trees at the residence. The gutters on my TT are always clogged with leaves and what does drain just finds the easiest route out of the gutter. Usually down the side of the TT. I try to keep them cleaned out but ladders and I have a history of disagreements so I came up with a way to clean them with my feet on the ground.
I went through my stash of PVC and came up with a power wand that I can use from the ground. I made it out of 3/4" PVC and long enough for me to reach the gutters easily. Just hook it to the hose. I put the extra slip to hose fittings in so that I can adjust the direction it sprays and it also does the house gutters. No more ladders but the ER guys might miss me.
this is my first try with pictures so please bear with me.
We successfully test ours several times on a trip using the aforementioned “toaster” method. Almost a daily occurrence, we know we’re safe for another 24 hours.Our method of testing the smoke alarm is to pop a couple of pieces of bread in the toaster…
