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 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 -

Removed the face and three tiny drawers that were awkward to get to in our Laredo 296RL. Stuck them on a Lowes cabinet, extended the rear of the cab to get the full drawer length, then added a piece of laminate (from that useless cab in between the recliner chairs) to extend the countertop space.

This needs to be movable as the slide tucks in nicely under the original countertop.

When a Blueboy Waste Tank and a BAL Hide-A-Spare meet.

I've been looking for a way to carry my Waste Tank (I have the Barker 32 Gallon). I considered several of the bumper attach methods, but my DW did not care for having a waste tank visible to everyone passing us on the Highway. I have an SUV as my Tow Vehicle, and did not like placing it in there. So I came up with putting the Waste Tank on a BAL Hide-A-Spare. Seems to work just fine, the pictures below don't show the straps, I added them after taking the pictures.

Keystone. I made it a requirement of the deal when I bought the TT.

Yeah i have tinted a couple cars, residential tint is a lot easier because the windows are flat, It's a little less reflective now that it's dried, and you can see through at nihgt, but i am sure it'll help with the heat, i may still do perf vinyl outside, i haven't decided yet.

I just bought the tint from my local graphics supply shop, any place that sells vinyl supplies should have it for a reasonable price, i think it was around $50 CAD for enough to do 4 windows. (there are 2 more windows similar size on the other side of the trailer that i did as well)

[PennyPA]

Just remember, the tint is reflective during the day but at night you can see through it...at least ours you can.

[rrev]

I tinted mine too. Made a difference in the summer. I bought the tint off of eBay.

[Zeppe807]

I like it! Where did you procure the tint? Have you done this before?

[T3rry1]

Windows tinted, 20% neutral residential tint, will post another pic later if it looks any different dry, did this 2 weeks ago and have not been back to see it yet.

Did you put some latches on the doors to keep them closed on tight turns?

Thanks!!
Yes, used the same ones as the other doors.

Fantastic. My wife has been after me to do this to our Passport 2910. Where did you get the doors?

Bought the doors from the Dealer/Keystone.. I ordered the same door as the one below the oven.. Exact size I needed.

Seems like those tubs are made for RV dinettes.
