I just installed a ShurFlo faucet ($30) and I'm pretty happy with it.
It doesn't allow for city water use but I've never used that feature
more than twice in 10 years of camping. The ShurFlo looks nicer and
works better that the 3 OEM faucets I kept replacing. I use a foot
switch as well that lives in the under sink cabinet when not in use.

12" squares of that spongy rubber shelf liner stuff that comes in a
roll. I use the squares between dishes and inside pots to keep the
rattle to a minimum.

Front door screens---I sewed two "bags" of no see-um netting and then
flipped them over to fit over each door -- windows down and door
open-- close the doors and you've got $12 screens that can roll up
and stash anywhere. When the "bags" are on the doors upside down, the
bottoms are not attached to anything but if you make them tall enough
they'll almost reach down to the door handle and that's plenty to
keep the bugs out ---especially since there are two layers for each
window.

I've got the Terry K bulb set up---definitely brighter.

What size wiper blades, BTW?
