Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing. I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main livin...

OK, time for my mods that I have completed.
1) Added an outside shower. This was not as easy as it should have been but I wanted it to wash off wetsuits, dogs and kids outside. I also wanted warm water to be able to do this as ocean water where wetsuits are involved is cold enough.
2) Added Max-Air 2 vents (I like these)
3) Moved struts under queen bed to a more vertical position and now the bed stays up with an added 4" dense memory foam topper. (Why this position was not originally used from the factory is ???) Thanks Fisherguy for the idea!
4) Replace bunk 3/8" plywood with 1/2" plywood, added hinges, struts and foam weather stripping. Now the kids can easily use this storage. Picture does not show weather stripping.
5) Added 19" LCD in bedroom area using the Thule mount. I am not very impressed with this mount for the cost. The design engineering is good, the execution of the design is not so good. Unless Thule can send me a new one that works well, I would rate their mount 1 star out of 5 stars. Picture is of the under bed storage where the LCD is secured for when the trailer is in motion. I will not leave this LCD in the mount when the trailer is in motion.
6) Peg board and fishing pole holder added to the pass-thru storage area.
7) Applied Eternabond to the sides and top of my slide. Went from:

The job may look sloppy but I am a former roofer with lots of experience fixing leaks. I feel 100% positive my application is water tight. On the top, the application of the Eternabond looks wavey. That is because I had to apply it blind with the slide in and no help. It is sealed well though.
I have a few more mods but no other pictures to help with understanding what was done. I will post again with the additional mods.
Now, off to northern CA and the redwood forests. :C
