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.

Yes, it is the masterbuilt one, thanks! That knob is a good idea! DH had to adjust the center support and had to go get a tool, I'll tell him about that!

Is that rack from Masterbuilt - the one they call 4-in-1, 'cause that is the one I ordered too for $50. Have got to install it yet.

Looks real good for the $$.

Yes it is. I forgot how sturdy Masterbuilt builds their stuff. I also have their hitch hauler rack we use when going on vacation and that thing is built like a Mack Truck. Only thing is I added the knob on the center support so it would be adjustable without tools.

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

Lucky you. Don't know where to get one of the sensors, maybe you could try the company. Email them at sales @ vena . com. I emailed them asking about the monitor and they replied they no longer make it due to lack of interest in the RV community.

Do like I did - save a Search on eBay - it will send you email if ever one does pop up for sale. That is what I did - had forgotten about it, and one day an email. Needless to say, I jumped on it for $75. I have my search still on, looking for the AC sensor donut.

Good luck.

Our intentions were to just attach it to the bumper... BUT (always a but in there), the stabilizer jack supports were all the way across the bumper. With the spare tire, there was nowhere to attach it, hence the 4" receiver.

Using that setup, I don't need to use any straps to steady the bike rack. I've had people follow me tell me it is rock steady even on bumpy railroad crossings.

Where did you get the Vena monitor from? And what did it cost? Did you get the optional A/C current sensor?

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.
