Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

[2Rad4U]

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 -

Looks like a bad link for the image in the thread above - I tired to see it and copied it into my browser line and it's coming back with no match... Maybe the OP can check the URL and try again...

We bought plastic sheleves at Loews. They fit perfectly in width and depth. Two of three reqiured no changes. The third shelf required us to cut the legs to accommodate a curve in the closet. They were inexpensive--about $15. Might work for you.


Has anyone done anything to the long wardrobe type closest along side the bed?
Who brings clothes on hangers camping? Not us.
Currently I have plastic stackable drawers in there, but they only sit about halfway in, so there is a lot of lost space.
I wonder if it's worth shelving & maybe using baskets?



We put the wire shelves in 2 of our 3 hanging clothes closets. Attached the larger size quarter round with HEAVY Duty Velcro. Measured the width of the shelving, Home Depot cut the shelving for me. For the Deep shelves that are beside the bed I just used 2 pieces of the shelving material as those closets were really deep.

Added some rails to the bunks... and they are easily removable for getting in and out. The fabric is all being changed out to match the red / white / brown so they will match better as we finish up.

Did that ladder come with the TT?

That looks like perfect size and thinking about building one.

I bought mine from Lowes, they are tin. Also in the vendor display, they sell the two side tape made especially for this product. It's paper thin and very very sticky.

I called the company that makes the plastic panels and they are rated to 450 degrees so they should be safe where he has them.

I put the Home Depot version behind my TT stove and along the wall just like in the picture this summer - they are meant to be a stove backsplash and look wonderful.

Do they mount to the wall using adhesive?

Does anyone have some good pics/link/suggestions/ideas for neatly storing a lot of fishing poles? We are a family of 9, so at least 9 fishing poles, but usually more, because my hubby will have a few different types of rods and also likes to have a couple extra, just in case. Also a couple of those will be kid rods. We have a TT and no long cross camper storage bays. (I wish!) We do have a large storage area under the RV queen bed that lifts up, but is only accessible from indoors. The exterior storage is under one of the dinette benches and under the rear bunk bed, but that also has the water heater and maybe the furnace under there. Oh, and needs to be fairly cheap. Ideas?

i have seen one mod for fishing poles where they strapped a pvc tube to the bumper. i think it was 6" pvc.

Just saw this so you have probably already solved problem. We put rod holders under the queen bed that lifts up. Leaves plenty of room on the floor for storage as the holders are attached to the bottom of the bed. Works great.

backsplash mod. plastic tin-looking panels from the home center. reflects light & keep the spaghetti sauce off the walls! used the leftover piece in the bathroom.

Be careful with the "tin-looking" panels. We did the same in our kitchen and they will melt!
