This is always a fun thread to watch so I thought I would start one here.

I used these: Triangle T93007 from Amazon. They're only $8.49 for 5m - I needed two of them.

I hooked them to 12V. I ran a wire from my switch panel out over top of the galley slide. The electrical connection to the strips is in the middle above the slide. Essentially invisible from the ground.

I had 3 spare switch slots on the panel so I added a new lighted switch for independent operation of these lights.

Be aware that this particular brand is very blue / white. I don't mind it at all but others might not like it so much. You can get others that do colors and whatnot - not for me.

just ordered one plus a controller so I can dim it down if I want. Thanks for the link.

My next mod, which ones did you use? Did you wire direct to 12v or 120 via the power supply?

Had to copy qchunters idead about the sewer hose holder since mine ripped off snagging a rock. I added two one for sewer hose and the other for my fishing rods. Its nice because there double sided access. Going to use pull pins to keep the lids on.

Nice. What water pump did you replace it with? Can you post up a link. Ours is a lil loud and our last trip out it sounded kind of different than normal and i was a lil worried it would go out on us while camping.

I replaced it with a Shurflo evolution 3.0 GPM. Slight upgrade from the 2.8 GPM I had before but it is SSSSOOOOO much quieter while in operation.

Shurflo Evolution

Cool, thanks. Cheap too!

Finally got around to installing my sewer hose holder. Had to install under the front since the th has no bumper. It will be better than storing it over the generator.

Could you post a pic of the cap and latch? My parents want to do this to their trailer. Thanks.

Here you go. I can get a close up if needed, just let me know. I used a hinge on one side but had to trim the lip on the cap so it would open easily. The other side I used a hasp and found some pins that had a ring that held tension so it always wants to stay closed. Got it at home Depot.

Nice. Going to have to do this but
Doesnt the screws interfere whille putting the hose away.

I installed a central vac at the wife's request. I was worried it was a waste of money. I haven't used it out and about but the initial use on the side of the house has the concept growing on me.

Oh and I threw in a new water pump. The old one was leaking. Decided to get a little higher flow pump rather than do a repair kit. I didn't realize how much quieter this one would be! Happy day.
