Best Christmas present for your RV
As a Christmas present, my wife opened up a savings account for me so that I can start saving for an RV kit. It was a small gift considering the overall costs of building an airplane. The most meaningful part is that she is willing to support this lifestyle and invest in a dream.
Anyways, enough about that. What is the best gift, Christmas or not, that you received from someone to go towards the building or operation of your RV?

Probably my Van's Air Force T-shirt, and the RV seems to fly better when I'm wearing it.

Not a Christmas present but a Birthday present which is close to the same time from my wife is 8 hours of help in the garage (RV related) with a smile on her face. Best present I could ask for.

I purchased an empennage kit (completed when purchased) and a wing kit (not started) last year. But haven't actually started any work myself..
My wife for Christmas bought me a Tool Box practice kit and a sun shade for my other RV 
Oh - and she told me to buy myself a garage wall organizer (tool box/storage/work bench thing)..
Awesome!

I'm nowhere near needing it yet but couldn't pass up a beautiful 3 blade Catto prop that was for sale on vaf. Told my wife not to get me any Christmas presents that the prop was it. She didn't listen though and still got me some stuff. Since the prop is for a 360 that made my decision on what engine I'm putting on it.

Thank you Rocky! OAT got all the way up to 12F that day. I keep the hangar at 50F 24/7. I raised it to 55 before plugging the wings in but I got too warm and turned it back down. (2 layers, t-shirt and flannel shirt, and flannel-lined jeans.) If I'm just hanging out not working, I can get it up to 60 in about 10 minutes.
