Welcome to another episode of Zen Family Projects! Join me, Ed, as I dive into the advanced world of towing enhancements with a detailed look at my custom airbag system for the 2015 Ford F-150. This video showcases how I significantly improved my towing experience using a VIAIR 88P compressor, Rough Country controller, and Air Lift airbags.

Discover how these components work seamlessly to provide a comfortable, stable ride while towing my Imagine 2800 BH camper. Also see how using my own components rather than a pre-built kit gives me way more flexibility and even safety on the road.

This setup not only enhances ride quality but also maintains vehicle leveling and stability. Perfect for towing enthusiasts looking for a DIY solution to improve their towing experience!

Important Note: Air Bags DO NOT increase your towing capacity and they will not make an unsafe towing setup safe! Ensure your setup is safe and distributed prior to using airbags.

Ride On Car Upgrade – 24v Lithium Ion Battery!

Looking to supercharge your kid’s ride-on 24 volt power wheels? It might just be that a lithium-ion battery upgrade is your ticket. I did that for our girls’ Funcid 4WD car from Wal-Mart, which made a huge difference. Learn how this simple mod can transform performance and playtime!

Shout out to Funcid for refunding the purchase price when the original battery didn’t work as expected. That’s what allowed me to have the funds to do this awesome and fun upgrade.

Camper Upgrades Worth Doing

(Impress Your Family and Friends!)

Today on Zen Family Projects I’ll walk you through the awesome modifications made to our 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2800 BH camper! Discover practical and easy upgrades, from installing a front jack cover and rotating the jack to fit our tailgate, to adding a coiled breakaway cable, new storage locks, and new beefier stabilizers. We’ve enhanced the exterior with new larger marine speakers, a super convenient outdoor shower port, bumper caps to keep our poo hose in line, quick low point drain valves, and ammo can storage. I also added some angle iron underneath to shore up the sagging chloroplast. Adding a set of backup cameras and TPMS sensors also increased visibility and safety. Inside, we’ve added night lights, pool noodle bumpers for the bunk beds, push bars to make the front door easier to access, window flaps to cut down on light pollution, upgraded outlets with USB ports built in, a new thermostat to control the HVAC system better, and an air conditioner baffle to increase AC performance and make it quieter.

Oh, and a dustbuster and towel holder. OMG!!

Future plans include installing Eternabond, a toolbox, and a unique anti-theft system. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts and camper owners! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more tips and projects!

Best RV Bumper Caps Ever? Probably Yes.

Upgrade Your Camper Plug!

I am so tired of my cheap plastic bumper plugs on my Grand Design travel trailer falling off while I’m going down the road! Do I really need to be wagging my crapper hose at passing traffic? No!

Now, I won’t be.

These bumper end caps are awesome. Solid metal with good construction, they’re easy to install and work a treat. Take a look.

Cheap Amazon LED Hood Light Strip

Looks Cool but Will It Last?

These inexpensive scanning LED hood light bars are all over Amazon. They look pretty cool, but are they worth your hard earned money? Well, it depends of how much you care about the rule of cool, how much money you’re willing to throw away every year, and whether or not the product will last any meaningful amount of time.

My first one lasted 7 months. We’ll see how long this new one goes.
