Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing. I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main livin...

In the process of fixing a couple issues with my TT, they ended up being mods. Now I am doing a couple more. I'll try to put pictures up later.
1. While tracking down my odor in the TT problem, I replaced the black tank vent cover with a new 360 syphon vent cover
2. After realizing the odor was coming from a bad seal that is not replaceable in the POS Aqua Magic V toilet, I replaced it with a much nicer Style II with china bowl.
3. My original bathroom vent cover disentigrated, instead of a cheap $10 replacement, I installed a new fantastic vent create a breeze. Wow does this move air!
4. My shower/tub has no ledges or shelves to put soap or shampoo bottles. I was setting them on the toilet lid. So I installed one of those stick up three chamber dispensors, and a stick up corner shelf. This was quick and easy.
5. Our tap water at home tasts horrible, and we have been places where the water tasts bad. 95% of the time we camp without hook ups, so no need for a external water filter. I had a spare faucet left over from a home RO installation, and a spot on my sink. So I bought a under the counter one stage water filter, some fittings and hose. I tapped into the cold line, through the filter to the faucet. So now, I have a faucet for filtered drinking water, without filtering wash/shower/toilet water.
6. My TT was a price leader budget model. Has a lot of nice features for the price, but is lacking in other areas. My overhead cabinets are huge. 13" deep, 16" tall, and over 4ft long. One is over the dinette, the other over the sink. They were completely open, and have no shelves! So we have just piled stuff in. This is anoying. Stuff jumbles around, bread gets squashed, hard to find things, and it is hard to use the full height because everything is stacked. To fix this I am installing shelves. I cut divider boards out of wood I had to go between the two doors to make two cabinets out of each one. Covered them with contact paper that matches. Screwed in pilaster shelving brackets to all sides, and am now getting ready to cut the shelves. Best compliment was when DW was sitting on the couch talking to me and said "I thought those dividers were there already" I said no, I just finished installing them, shelves are next. She said "they look like they have always been there" :D
More to come, if I ever get the time. I want to hard wire in a converter so it is seamless with the electrical. I also want to add in an accumulater, I have the bottle, just need a mounting location, some fittings, and time.
