Would you please let me know where you found this - S'just the right size (of course), and I like that it is somewhat see through.
Thank you, Susan

Maybe Scott can share the size but I'm guessing it is the bigger one.

We actually got the smaller, 11x10x2.5 one: Anything Keeper - Home, Office, RV, Kitchen and Boat Organizer (outside dims = 11"Wx10"Lx2.5"H; basket=10.25"x9"x2") https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZIUAXG..._GQyQDbWXT7NV2

But it looks like the bigger one is 2” wider, so it should fit too [emoji1303]

This way they’ll do their thing then stop on their own. Currently set for 10 hours, so I turn it on when going to bed, they run all night, then a couple extra hours in the morning.

Along the line of this mod but a little different. For parked trailer storage in the summer for a little air curculation.... Anyone know of if either one of these timers will turn on a Little 12V computer fan for 1 minutes then off, every hour or maybe do the fan once every 2 hours? I could not tell if any of these with repeat that operation continually or if they were one event timers like sclifrickson is using it for.Thanks

The first timer looks like the one I used. It can be set up to do a single on/off cycle, or repeat indefinitely. Can be set for either on or off to be seconds, minutes, hours or days in period. I have mine currently doing 12 hours on then 12 off, repeat.

I’ve no idea about the second timer you linked.

yeah, the first one has ...
P-3: Recycle: when T1 time is over, the relay connects and then when T2 time is over, the relay disconnects, infinite loop. The value of T1 and T2 is adjustable.
If the value of pull in or disconnecting is 0, it can turn off the infinite loop of delayed connecting or delayed disconnecting when power on.

so, the input signal enables it, then its off for T1 and on for T2 and repeats. turn off the input signal and it stops. note the output relay part of that timer is a 10 amp relay, so it can be used to control 120VAC stuff up to 1200 watts, or 12VDC stuff up to 120 watts. kinda overkill for a little computer fan, heh.


the 2nd one can do that sort of stuff too, modes P1-4 or P1-5... it has a 20A relay, so even more insane power.


the input signal can probably be a switch to ground/negative, which will turn the whole thing on/off.

Question: finally getting around to mounting mine. Do the command strips hold up to mount it or have you had to add the screws? It seems to take a hard pull to open so wondering about the adhesive holding up. (And by command strips- I take it you did not use the provided adhesive strips; how did you remove them?)

Read the specs on the 3M packaging; there is a warning of adhesive failure at 140F, which is easy to hit in a closed stored trailer sitting in the sun. I use 3M RP45, which is good to 200F and exterior rated on all my products. Never have heard of any issues once fully cured (72 hrs) prior to adding weight. 20 lbs per square inch peel strength

Hi. I was looking for information on removing the locking mechanism on your table. I want to shorten my table and need to remove the metal bar for the lock screw. Don't know what it is attached with, but wondered if you could tell me how to remove it. Would heating it with a heat gun and scraping work? Thanks.
