This is a removeable DVD stand I made out of conduit and wood for the back bunk in our Jayco 23B. swivels and tilted slightly. I also made one that will slide in the post where our regular TV sits for...

Last week while camping I decided to install the satellite radio into the trailer.
I forgot to bring tools like a drill but thankfully the walls are thin and I did have my leatherman.
So here is the location the radio will be. Right above the concertone
I used two wire taps to take the 12v supply and extend it to a 12v outlet. I didn't get a shot of the outlet but it's just a 12v power outlet on a curly cord.
Holes drolled with screwdrivers.
Holes cut with leatherman.
Wiring run to the receiver location. Audio out on the left and the power and antenna on the right.
Wiring attached to receiver docking station. 3m velcro type tape to hang it on the wall.
Hang it on the wall and it's done.
A couple of things that aren't shown. The Sirius parts are from a universal car kit. The antenna is meant to be mounted on the roof of a car. I've found by experience that it can be inside and still get reception. The antenna is magnetic so that it'll attach to a car roof so I've stuck it to the mounting hardware that is holding the microwave. It gives a good metal surface for reception and after testing the top of the microwave for heat i think it will be ok for temperature.
Interesting point, turning on the microwave instantly blocked the signal to the microwave.
