What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?
I see the other types of RV's having this type of thread. I did a search and could not find one here. :) Yesterday, I drove mine to work to "excercise" it. I have driven it to work twice in the ...

Wasn't just today but over the last week. Our B is a 1999, so it originally had a old style TV in the overhead space above the front seats. A previous owner took that out and filled in the space using assorted pieces of wood and 36 screws and mounted a small flat screen TV. We never watch or wanted to watch TV while traveling and camping and I just knew there was some good storage behind all that mess. I removed it and found a cavernous space empty accept it had all kinds of exposed wiring, insulations and such. I took the opportunity to add some charging plugs in the two cabinets on either side and did some repurposing of the wiring and then boxed in the area for general use. I made it so it could be removed with minimum work if I need to get to the wires again. That left me with a large hole with no door. I asked a couple of places if there were standard doors that could be bought. The answer was no or it will cost as much as a whole cabinet. I went to a custom cabinet place and they would be happy to make me one for $120 in 4-8 weeks. Went back to Lowe's and looked again at stock cabinets on the shelf and found one with the right size door if I rotated it 90 degrees. Bought the whole cabinet for $67. I now have a spare door and an open cabinet above the door to my shop for more storage. The cabinet was just particle board but had a nice oak front. The door stained up nice and matches pretty close.
A month or so ago I ordered two all wood oak cabinets from Lowe's which came in. One was a upper cabinet that was added to the kitchen area as a lower in place of the 3rd bucket seat (I made it removable if I want to switch back to a seat when not camping) and the second was a lower cabinet that I sawed the toe hole off to lower it and it went in the back in the space were I removed the recirculating toilet. I didn't want to pay the minimum charge for countertops so I found a 1 inch thick cutting board on Amazon for the counter in the kitchen and since the back cabinet is for supplies I cut a piece of plywood the right size and covered it with carpeting so things could be piled on top if needed. The power that use to run the toilet now powers another aux power plug in the back if needed for a future cooler/frig for longer trips when the frig isn't big enough.
All in all a very protective week. Did a few other smaller projects and getting close for the next trip in 2 weeks.
