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!!







Weather station.



Clock installed above Dinette.



No need to bring a chunk of wood with.

No. It is just pushed all the way to the right with a velcro wrap around it. Funny it doesn't show at all in the picture.

We have a few new mods to share.
Added a reverse switch to our Fantastic Fan so we can use it for exhaust or intake.


Added a removable clothes pole for drying wet items over the shower.

Replaced the 3/4 extension drawer hardware with full extension. Had to get the 10" top drawer hardware online.

My almost completed LCD mount for my '11 Pal S-21RGS. The front LCD bracket it complete, I just need to do some fit & finish of the cables. More pictures to come. I'm still working on the wood bracket for the 2nd TV near the rear bunks.

Front TV area:


Front TV connections:

Satellite, DVD Input (RCA from DVD/stereo), Antenna/Cable input, Power

Constructing the TV bracket

Back side of the TV bracket with a notch routed out for the power, coax and video cables




Bracket that the articulating arm hangs on. This allows me to remove the TV for travel, but leaves the bracket


Bracket stained and installed. I used hollow wall anchors to secure the wood bracket to the wall. I still need to cut the coax to length and hang the TV.

The TV doesn't have a removable power cable, so to make it easy to disconnect for travel, I routed an extension cord through the bracket.


Power, video, and coax cables come out the side and route over to the outlets. These will be run through wire loom to dress it up.

** UPDATE **
Finally finished up the front TV installation today.

cables in loom & secured


TV hung


wires ziptied, will route them through wireloom as well.


closeup of the wires out the back


I like having the TV off the cabinet (free's up space, and reduces the risk of the kids knocking it over). The rear TV will be on the same type of articulating bracket mainly to keep it from getting knocked over.

Here's our latest:
Replaced the unused oak knife holder behind oven/stove with two removeable pockets for "stuff".




Moved fresh water pump intake to the lower drain position to access all water while dry camping. This was an idea viewed here on rv.net. (Get plenty of good ideas here!)

My local Autozone is less than useless in most aspects of auto repair parts. The only thing worse than their limited on hand inventory is their sorry staff that can't even be bothered to call you to tell your part is in... especially if it came in early and you could have put your truck together 3 days earlier instead of leaving it on jack stands for nearly a week. Go ahead, ask me how I really feel about Autozone... :M

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

Surprising, they should have them there. If your autoparts store are of no help they are available online in many places. I got mine from Amazon. You should also be able to get on from an RV parts store or marine parts as well.
I got a regular old plastic $10 one and used an outdoor switch housing to mount it.
Sold the HTT. Now camping in a Kelty tent.

RV stores, boat supply places, trailer sales places, I've even seen them at Walmart. Of course I don't use one, but that's a different story.

West Marine or Camping World or most RV parts stores.

they aren't normal automotive items, so you won't find them in an auto parts store.

I've noticed the quite a few of the mods resulted in the addition of a significant amount of weight. How many of you have weight you TT fully loaded for a weeks camping w/TV fully loaded, kids, wood, coolers everything?


the majority of us have enough of a weight cushion that it's not an issue.

i have a 2200lbs. weight cushion to add to, if i want.:W
i'm not a believer of marginal tow vehicles.
