Over a year of reading, researching, saving and preparing for the trip of a lifetime. 8500 towing miles from Miami to New Orleans, Carlsbad Caverns, Four Corners, Phantom Ranch at the GC, GC Caverns, Hoover Dam, San Diego, PCH to San Fran, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore then family/friend stops in TN and NC. Ending up on the water at Beverly Beach before heading back to Miami. Thanks to all for the inspiration for most of these mods. Going to be boondocking at Wally World for at least 6 nights and we needed a secure way to take the generators so I had a welder friend make this up
He also welded up one of my favorite mods; undercarriage picnic table racks.......
and a spare tire carrier I picked up at a junkyard to a new battery tray
To maximize storage I made some adjustable shelving for this very tall and mostly useless cabinet by the door
(Did the same to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and added this very useful mod there...
and it lead to the kitchen....
and I looked into the cabinet up there....
Wire shelving makes it easy to see what's up there....
but the kitchen still has very little counterspace so.....
added a flip up counter.....(those two were the DW's favorites along with these.....
that I modified from the IKEA 3 drawer set (some paint scratched off)
We LOVE to wind down with Disney movies for the kids but hated the sound of the cheap tv that came with the rig so we upgraded the TV and added a refurbished sound bar that we got at Tiger Direct for $40 ...it sounds great!
Moving outside....I added pegboard to the storage area....
Picked up some cheap license plate cameras from amazon....
and wired it under the rig and into the truck....
....
(Wireless would've worked but the monitor I used had no way of manually switching between inputs and there was no way of changing the frequency on the two cameras so I just switch them when I hookup or disconnect.....
Also picked these up on Amazon for securing the storage area
Found a little hidden space above my tanks....just cut a clear plexiglass laminate but a thin sheet of plywood will work just as well...
I lost my stinky slinky storage when I upgraded the bumper for the generators so I picked up the great idea with the fence post....
and finished up with LED lighting under the awning and changing every bulb inside to LED
Whew!.....Good luck with these....We'll be on the road soon so I hope to see you out there!....be safe!
