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.

Ooo, that's a good idea. I need to take some measurements.

Has anyone converted their shower into a pantry/shelving? We never use the shower (campgrounds we stay at have showers) and it just winds up with stuff piled inefficiently in the tub.


Just realize that such a conversion will negatively affect its resale value.
but if you don't plan on ever selling, then go for it.
Sorry, should have specified I'd like it to be reversible without permanently modifying the bathroom. Good looking out though.

Nicely done. Kinda digging the led's that replaced the porch light. I might have to do that upgrade myself.
yeah it's my favourite too, i just ordered an LED strip dimmer dial for it, so i can control the brightness, will give it much nicer functionality, it was almost too bright some evenings if we were parked close to the fire pit.

And last is my exterior lighting, for this i used waterproof led light strip from eBay, tapped in to the exterior light (and removed the bulb from the orange light), so now this is controlled by the factory switch for the exterior light.

Cleaned it up with some white duct tape, and ran a strip of clear gorilla tape over the entire strip to try to keep it clean and secure (especially at highway speeds, not sure i'd trust the stock adhesive)

Lights up the campsite very well, without blinding you if you look at it.





Planned future mods, is LED strips in the outside storage, inside cupboards and a step light, all switch operated so they are only on when the respective door is open.
Also building a stabilizer setup, based off of rockeeze.. hope it works alright.
and i hope to implement some storage options, many of which i found on here.
Oh also a rear hitch for the bike rack, and for our paddle boat, my brother is a journeyman welder so we'll get it done right!

Next mod is a Flatscreen TV, i think this is a 26inch? it's wall mounted, i have the mount stiff enough that i can move enough, but loose enough that it just sits there without additional support while traveling.

it also has a built in DVD player, and USB, so no need for extra components, just needs a power cord, nice and clean.
