This is a removeable DVD stand I made out of conduit and wood for the back bunk in our Jayco 23B. swivels and tilted slightly. I also made one that will slide in the post where our regular TV sits for those "Dry camping" days!!

Clock installed above Dinette.
No need to bring a chunk of wood with.

Added some sliding shelves to the pantry.
Bottom drawer fully extended. I made them side out as far as possible so that it is easy to get to the stuff in the back.
We added a child safety lock so that the cabinet would not come open during transit.
repost because the images were not seen under FireFox
still not seeing them with Firefox.
I see them quite well with Firefox here
When I was at work today I saw them fine in internet explorer but here at home using firefox they don't show up.

These look good.... except...
Shelves aren't centered, TV bracket is crooked and the liquid levels aren't even. :B

We got a few things done today. I finally put in shelves in that tiny closet of ours. I did most of it by myself, and being me that is a huge accomplishment!
Here is the start...
Getting there.... first shelf is on!
Finally done! It was more expensive than I expected, but the end results were worth the expense.
Next... Gordon put a bracket up for our small LCD TV. It wasn't easy since we couldn't use either side wall or the outside wall. He made a stand that fit on the shelf, he matched the countertop and it looks pretty good.
This is the bracket and stand that he made. At first I didn't think it would work, or look good, but he did a great job!

This is how it looks when we are going down the road.

And now my favorite mod of all! I put a soap dispenser in the shower. Boy, did it clear up alot of room!Moderator edit to re-size pictures to forum limit of 640X480px maximum.
Last week while camping I decided to install the satellite radio into the trailer.
I forgot to bring tools like a drill but thankfully the walls are thin and I did have my leatherman.
So here is the location the radio will be. Right above the concertone
I used two wire taps to take the 12v supply and extend it to a 12v outlet. I didn't get a shot of the outlet but it's just a 12v power outlet on a curly cord.
Holes drolled with screwdrivers.
Holes cut with leatherman.
Wiring run to the receiver location. Audio out on the left and the power and antenna on the right.
Wiring attached to receiver docking station. 3m velcro type tape to hang it on the wall.
Hang it on the wall and it's done.
A couple of things that aren't shown. The Sirius parts are from a universal car kit. The antenna is meant to be mounted on the roof of a car. I've found by experience that it can be inside and still get reception. The antenna is magnetic so that it'll attach to a car roof so I've stuck it to the mounting hardware that is holding the microwave. It gives a good metal surface for reception and after testing the top of the microwave for heat i think it will be ok for temperature.
Interesting point, turning on the microwave instantly blocked the signal to the microwave.

I made a flag pole holder for my tongue jack but as it's jacked down in my parking area, the flag hits the ground. Hopefully it will be OK when I camp. I may have to raise it up some.
Also did my "Stinky Slinky" storage mod.
As seen from the front. Drilled about 20 1/8" holes but you can only see these 7. Too small for wasps but large enough for some air flow.
As seen from the rear of the trailer. Drilled 20 1/8" holes for ventilation and to reduce the chance of wasps getting in.
I bent a piece of heavy steel and epoxied a bolt to it to hold the tube to the trailer frame. Used three bolts. May want to remove and relax the bend angle a little if it starts to weat on the hose. I did grind the edges smooth though.
Looking inside the 6" PVC pipe.

Here is my home-made wheel chocks for dual axle. I found the idea on rv.net and made one change. I added a tightening nut with a plastic hand grip. I can put them on without any tools or wrenches!
I found these hand nuts at Grainger Supply for $3.80 each. I have about $17.00 into a pair of these chocks. Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming.
Side Note... The plastic nut is threaded and tapped through, so the rod can pass though it completely as tightened.
First time posting with a pic, hope to do it correctly.
