The only major equipment failure was the A/C, which died right at the end of my trip. The drive north was sweaty until I passed Las Vegas. My mechanic says it's a leak i the Sportsmobile rear A/C system, where the refrigerant hose goes through the engine bay. For now, we've simply disconnected the rear A/C, and I need to find an A/C shop willing to fix it.
My new toys this trip were a replacement ExtremeAire compressor (made airing up so much faster!), a new dash computer system (Microsoft Surface tablet with high-res satellite imagery of all of Baja California downloaded), and a windshield dash video cam.

Off topic: what LED third brake light is that?

Looks like a great trip!
Can you detail your install of the driver side spot light? Something I've thought of on/off over last several years.

Yeah, I put the write up here: where-to-connect-spotlight-to-12v-starter-battery. I still love having it for checking out potential camping spots at night. Despite my initial complaints in my write-up, it's worked great for me.
