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.

The main walls almost look like they are wallpapered in these campers, and I'm not sure those things will stick. I'd like to hang towels from them, so a little heavy for the wall? Also, has anybody tried a tension rod in the bathroom? Looking to have some hanging space, and we don't intend to use the shower. Again....are the walls strong enough to support this?

We use a hanging hook towel hanger that hangs from the top of the bathroom door.

We use "command hooks" and they work splendidly. I put three near the door and I hand my keys and hat there (and a fly swatter. Heh.)

I have not yet finished, but my plan was to install the thule bike racks - the ones that fit the 2 bike tires on a track and a support bracket that comes up to hold the bar between the pedals. The unit itself is sturdy, I contemplated putting a cross bracket or 2 if it is not stable once the weight of the bikes is loaded. I hope to get 3 or 4 on there so will have to post an update in about 3 months!

Thanks. Keep us posted. My trailer is in winter storage, so I won't be doing anything but planning until mid APRIL.

Added a custom bike rack to store 3 bikes atop the propane tanks. The 2x4 frame allows the bed to be opened, and is removable to store indoors when not in use and/or to access the propane tanks.

Excellent. I've been looking at the trailer tray and thinking about putting the same type of bike racks on its platform. What brand/ model bike racks did you use? How stable are the wood uprights? Thanks for posting your mod!

now if you had a roll up toneau cover that allows the stake holes to stay exposed ,you could keep stuff in the box dry...
great job on the rack...

So, after thinking about how to carry the bikes safely but not loose all the room in the bed of the truck, I finally came up with a solution. It is made from wood and I use the rubber bungee/tie downs to hold the bikes in place. I've received complements at the campgrounds including where they could get one. If I had skills in welding, I'd consider building one out of metal vs wood, but I had to go with what I know.



Painted and on the truck



With bikes and supplies in the truck bed (gotta watch the weight now)

This is awesome! I'm going to do this.

added a cabinet style door to the storage under the table seating. Family wanted a place to put dirty laundry until we get home. Can add from the door and remove it all from the hinge when we get home.

Funny you mention that.. The wife and I were just talking about a few of new RV's we had seen at the RV show that had laundry hatches into the under-compartments, which can be set up and ready with a laundry basket.

Nice work...I sort of copied some of your idea and fashioned an above-propane tank bike rack using 2x4's as well. I posted the pics under the hybrid travel trailer section (meant to put in this section under mods). Thanks for the idea!

[RandK-M]

Very nice! That's some great work. 🙂

Oh, that is awesome!
