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.

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)

So what tires are you using?

235/75R15 Firestone Destination A/Ts that came mounted on the wheels from Craigslist. Higher load rating tan what was on it before anyway...

nice add

[Haynaorno]

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.

Giving it another go- you can see the plate (and the "stereo") over my son's head. Assuming this works...
Hey! Looka that! Thanks, Dan!

Hoosierdaddy, here's a link to the forum's FAQ's for posting pictures here:

Still haven't worked out how to post pics, but I can describe it pretty well; the "audio system" that came with my HTT is basically a jumped-up clock radio with a CD player and internal speakers, dangling beneath an overhead cabinet. Good enough (Just!) for inside, but I don't spend a lot of time inside during the day! It does, however, have an A/B speaker switch and an open set of wires. I bought a 2-terminal in-wall stereo speaker wall plate (with pushbutton terminals) from Radio Shack, wired it to the B leads and installed it under the cabinet next to the "stereo". That cabinet, over the jackknife sofa, has a double bottom for running wires. An outside access door opens to storage under the sofa. Now I simply run the wires from the indoor/outdoor speakers I got on eBay in through the access door, up behind the sofa and into the wall plate, hiding them behind a nearby curtain and I can listen to music outside as well! Wait! There is that old three-amplifier car stereo system just languishing in my basement....hmmmm...! (Note to self: Bad idea! That thing'll suck your battery inside-out in about 15 minutes.)

P.S., there is a picture of the speakers on Hybrid Travel Trailer Camping, my page on Facebook.

If it's really hot (or cold), take a piece of reflectix cut to size for the bunk end and slide it under your Pop Up Gizmos. It will keep it more than comfortable in the bunk ends.

I think it is time for us to get reflective foil, it was HOT in the bunkends this summer.

Then they had their Reflective Foil Insulation on sale 4'X 25 for 24.00 (reg. 42.99) so I purchased 2 rolls and started cutting covers for the bunk's windows.I have read that this helps keep your AC air in and the heat in the winter time in.

So I now have 2 1/2 bunks done. Do any of you cover your glass windows with this in the colder days of camping?

I use the Reflective foils in the windows and pop up gizmos on the top. Make a HUGE difference when it's 100 out.

Did a few Small mods today. I was at Mernards last week and they had a few things on sale so first I found these "honey can Do" drawers which came as a 2pk on sale for $2.99 and the fit perfectly over the dining table cabinets..
here's the size if anyone is interested.

Add these post for my sewer hose and indoor/ outdoor rug, after looking at the white post and my black bike rack and another photo on one of the forums I decided to put some the other fasteners on and spray painted these to match the bumper..


Close up of the new fasteners I like them better then the screw though the lid.


tomorrow I'll change the other one and move on to something else..
