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 living area anyway, so I decided to tackle both jobs today. A trip to Wal-Mart for two fans($8.48 each) and we're halfway there.

She picked the spot, and I got to work -



I picked up the power from her overhead light. All I have left is to install a short piece of wire cover and I'm done -



I added one in the main area -



I dropped by Lowe's and found this cool soap dispenser. I also just installed these Pop-a-Toothbrush holders -



I added a sopa dispenser to the kitchen area as well. I also installed a Pop-a-Napkin under the radio -



Here's an easy mod. I found this over the door towel rack at Walmart and it works great -

Was looking for new sheets for my Coachman and found these:

Short Queen Sheets

and

Short Queen Bedding

They also have other sizes for RVs, dorm beds, day beds, etc. . . Just click the link for bedding and you can find the bedding by size. I am in the process of ordering me a down alternative topper and a set of flannel sheets.

Love the fireplace Rob! I have been thinking about doing the same thing in mine. Under the TV there is a cabinet that is so shallow that it really isn't good for anything because there are no shelves in it. I have been thinking about taking the doors off and removing the center post and putting a fireplace like yours. I just haven't found the right one and I really like the way yours looks. What brand is it?

I installed LED strip light on my awning, they work great, it sticks with 3M tape. I wired it up to a switch in the trailer. I just unplug them at the awning roller tube, and they roll right up in the awning, gives off a nice light!



Then I installed some above my slide for some indirect lighting, gives off a nice light inside the trailer.



I had also installed an electric fireplace and a 32" LCD TV

Just put in a couple of LED switches below my AC/DC meter. One for my new amber LED step lights and one for my LED running lights. The amber switch is for the steps and red switch for the running lights.

Just finished one of the easiest mods I've done so far. I replaced all the foam in the the seats of the wrap around dinette with 4" memory foam. What a difference it makes!

That would work under our jack knife sofa but that would be less room for beer and my box of wine wouldn't fit! 🙂

Love the drawer... that's a cool idea!

Not applicable for our jack-knife sofa as it's built differently, but still a way cool idea and looks GREAT!

Happy camping!
John.
