Dip stick & fill cap loss prevention

Our Foretravel brethren who recently lost his hydraulic dip stick got me thinking that we don't want to walk that path.  For many years, we have had strings on our oil fill cap and our coolant overflow cap to help prevent their accidental loss.  Now we have another one protected.

While I  was at the rear taking a few photos for this post, I added photos of our mud flap lifting chain that we used when lowering the rear to level, and our new engine storage.

Barry - Great idea and one that I'll implement. Was unable to source an exact replacement, even from the original mfg. however a 1" marine drain plug (Walmart) works perfectly and since the power steering reservoir has a sight glass the lack of a dipstick isn't an issue.
