Got another one for you. Early last fall, kept looking at the compartment behind our curbside slide. It had hook ups for 120v, phone, 12v and a input (not output)for coax for cable TV. After determining I could move the wall inside the compartment back about 6" inches against the grey and black tank. I moved the hook ups, ordered a $15 TV swing mount on eBay. I ordered 24" long square inch tubing to replace the inner ones so we could swing out the TV as far as possible. Found a one year old Visio 26" on Craigslist. Then I reversed the input and made it an output on the back of our switch box inside the coach (t-d off bedroom TV 2) I got the TV for $60 :B, bracket $15, extra long square tubes $12.
We found a black carpet mat with foam backing that covers both sides of the TV when in transit at Wally world for $8 and a secure strap for $2 there also..I'm such a mooch, but now we have outside TV if we want just like the Big Dog coaches.
PS...We only use it if the conditions are right (weather and checking with our neighbor RVer's if it bothers them)

Our rock guard/mud flap was getting pretty worn on the bottom, the rubber wearing away and getting too close to the metal Safari band.
So DW and took measurements and went to the local rubber distributor and purchased a nice piece of 5/16" inch thick conveyor belt that was already sized at 12" inches wide. We had them cut it 95" inches long. When we got it home we took the metal pieces off and used the old flap for a template. Bolted up the top metal piece (hangs on the frame)and then put the "Safari" metal piece on just drilling the two end holes. Once we were satisfied with everything being level, we drilled the rest of the holes and reinstalled all the carriage bolts and nylon-lock nuts.
The fourteen bolts on the "Safari" bracket I replaced with all new carriage 1" by 1/4-20 and all new nylon-lock nuts. Total cost $69 for the rubber and $12 in bolts and nuts. So, now our rock guard is good and hopefully will last another 10 years..
PS..when using box cutter, spray soapy water or Simple Green on the area to cut and blade.
