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...

Those snaps don't interfere with the sealing of the door do they?
Popeye59,
Good morning, great question for all to consider. At the time of install I thought the same and ran some tests. I performed the mod on one bed first then conducted a test fit/closing of the bed. I sprayed water over it with the hose and it didn't leak... I thought to myself, "cool!"
Well, we are camping this weekend and after picking up the trailer a couple days ago I noticed a small pool of water trapped inside the exterior portion of the canvas material on one of the beds (didn't leak into the bed or interior of the trailer). "Ruh-roh!" After further inspection, it appears that one of the bed-seals doesn't get a complete seal due to one of the snaps (placed higher due to location of manufacturer installed hardware, or one of the screws securing the door frame).
We have had some heavy rains here the past week and I think I'll have to relocate the snaps away from the seals just to be safe... completion date: TBD! but, I'll probably work on it this weekend out at the park... And, I may relocate the snaps on the interior portion of the bed's door frame (again, I'll need to reassess the design, test it then do it lol)!
One step forward, two steps backwards...
Take care all and have a safe and enjoyable Labor day weekend!
