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 -

relocated my spare to the tongue, curved shower curtain rod, added 2 stab jacks behind the wheels for a firmer feel while set up.
PVC WD bar holder, got this idea form this topic months ago.
Made the wife's Avalon a convertible.
Just kidding it was a car we practiced on in the Fire Academy using the Jaws of Life, just added it for fun!

The storage area of our TT was open under the bed. Did not want drafts or spiders in Trailer. Framing DH added to enclose storage area.

My mod for 2008 was to move the spare tire to the front of the TT. That way its not hanging on to the back of the bumper. Recycled a spare tire hoist froma GMC truck.

Below are 2 of my favorites
Put shelves in 2 of the 3 closets Attached quarter round wood to the sides of the closets with industrial strength velcro and bought the wire shelving
Installed a 2 foot counter extension that will hold 200 pounds and is level with the counter. It folds flat against the counter when not in use.
More fun with LED lighting
I finished up converting my interior lights to LED's. Did most of them as the DW still wants the other lights in there.
Sorry for the bad photos but you get the idea.
Finished with the outside down lights too:
This one was taken on the last trip, you can see our interior lights and the down lights. We were camping in a location where we had very little light and no neighbors...park holds 85 pull throughs and we were the ONLY ONES THERE for Labor Day weekend. So we parked Awning to awning.

Just updated our webshots with most of the stuff done to our camper but wanted to post this picture. I bought this at BB&B and spray painted it to match the camper trim. I wanted a place to put all the dog "stuff" when they are with us to keep it off the counters. It's loaded up and will try it out next weekend:

Did the LED light upgrade kit on my Bargman model 84 tail lights. WOW they
are nice. much brighter than the incandescent 1157 bulbs that were in
there.
the whole job is just 5 minutes (if you are slow) and involves no more than
R&Ring the old lens and bulb with the new LED lens.
The thing I was always plagued with is dust getting in the old lens and
coating the backside of the lens and the bulb, making them dimmer over time,
so I was always taking the old lenses off to clean bulb and lens.
the led unit is a totally sealed package.
my local RV parts store didn't stock them, and wanted $36.00 each plus
shipping to get them, so I hit the internet and found them here....

Okay, just had a chance to take pictures of my LCD HDTV installation.
Since I already had the TV platform and it has a very sturdy top, I decided to go with a pole mount rather than an arm. I just drilled straight through the top and bolted it down.
It was still wobbly with just the pole (the TV tends to yaw side to side) since there is so much mass suspended. I used cap head bolts and aluminum tubing to make four tall legs that screw into the holes for the base. I capped them with little hose caps as feet and it seems to work great.
The TV is a 26" so it's no lightweight to be sure.
I don't know why I bothered to upgrade the TV since we hardly ever watch but at least I lost some weight, gained some counter space and have an ATSC tuner now!
