- RbertalottoExplorerAdded a stereo system....
Built a cabinet for the amplifier I got off Ebay for $10, a motorcycle mount for my GPS which has XM Radio and an MP3 Music Player built in and a pair of Fosgate speakers.

Rear side of anmplifier:
Matching speaker enclosure on the other end of the overhead cabinet:
The Garmin GPS unit moves from inside the truck to the camper as needed. The system sounds great. Now I'm off to Lowes to get some stain to match the existing cabinets.
"Rock On!" - trail-explorerExplorerInventoried the light fixtures in my father-in-laws camper and ordered the LEDs to upgrade it.

- BigBlockFordExplorerPurged all water & LPG lines, fired up the Onan, cleaned the gutters, wiped down the panels and skylights, took a pantry inventory. Picked three off-grid weekends with friends!
BBF - Deb_and_Ed_MExplorer III painted the inside of the cabinet where I removed the old fridge; sealed up the exterior fridge vents with aluminum tape and styro insulation - and in a sheer stroke of luck, found an old kitchen cabinet door that fits the opening (!) - I now have a nice big pantry!

I bought one similar to that (only 12") and it's WONDERFUL!
12" wow, I didn't have the room, closet doors were in the way. Great to hear you like it.
I should have explained that ours went in our house....LOL! But yes, super-comfy! - jimh406Explorer IIIRefitted vent cover. Fabricated a TV mount to hang over the top of the cabinet for the new 24 TV. Test fit is done. Lubricated the door latch. Tried out the new HD antenna add, awesome. Bought parts to connect the TV. Bought contact paper to cover TV mount.
- Buzzcut1Nomad IIReplaced a gutter extender that was donated to a tree branch on the last outing. Filled up on Diesel at $3.09/ gallon topped off the fresh water, restocked the coffee and started loading up the med gear as I have horse shows coming up each of the next two weekends. 20 straight days of work starting Tuesday.
- JoeChiOhkiExplorer IIChecking out a '75 Amerigo side entry w/snap N Nap :)
- jimh406Explorer IIIReplaced the Heki handles. This post http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/22751303/print/true.cfm was extremely helpful to know how to get the shocks loose and pin out due to how the pin is captured with a button cover. That was actually a pain in the neck to do considering one of the gas shocks is dead and how little we actually open the skylight. We do love the light and stars from it, however.
I also changed the porch light to a M4 led. Changed the broken/damaged tv antenna and added a HDTV add on part to the Winegard. If you are wondering, the gear that raises the tv was actually broken into two pieces. I'm not really sure how.
Shopped for a second tv and spent some time determining how I will get power to the new tv location. That turned out to be easier than originally thought since the convection oven and cabinet are in the same slide. I just need to add a grommet to the get the power close via a high quality extension cord. As little power as the tv and Blu-ray player would use, I don't think it's worth putting in a new AC outlet.
Bought nylon with the wife so that she can sew a bag for the reflectix that she cut for the windows. Wife almost completed the bag before supper.
Bought a new 15' Valterra Dominator hose kit. My hose is 9 years old and figured it would be better to replace it before it sprung a leak instead of after. :)
