I attached the panels with commercial grade Velcro, locating 2" long strips at required intervals. I used 3/32" tinted Plexiglas, but would recommend at least 1/8". The panels are mounted on the outside of the screen door making it a little easier to keep clean.

That's a fantastic idea. I think it will be next mod.
Thanks.

I am not a "hang up clothes" kind of person. So I removed the closet rod and built in shelves, using 3/4" birch plywood and covering them with sheet vinyl for ease of cleaning. I trimmed out the edges with pvc corner bead. Now my clothes stay where I put them.
I would love to do something like this as I've found that hanging the clothes in the little "closet" seems to be worthless (can't fit much in there and hangers are always falling off the rod and it wastes space). Now if I can only figure out how to go about it...

Well, guess what I will be doing Saturday......This is a fantastic idea. I have plenty of windows, but this will save me constantly opening the main door to go in and out.

I've done numerous little mods (i.e. paper towel hoder, toothbrush holder, towel racks, etc) but this simple mod is my favorite. I made curtains for the little window on the door. It has room darkening material on the other side to help it stay cooler. I have affixed it with velcro so when I want to, I just take them down! ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

I really like that mod, CampingKinsey. We've been hanging a towel over the door when we need to shut out that light at night.
Now I've got yet another mod to work on!!

A nice little mod is to go buy spray on chip guard at your auto parts store and spray it on the tongue and frame of your TT. Its the same stuff auto body shops use when you get a repaint. It keeps all those stones from chipping the paint and rusting it out.

I always maintain my batteries at home with a Battery Tender. Multiple vehicles, one Tender, so I purchased extra dedicated lines, and attached them to the batteries, so now I can just plug the Tender into the hard line, rather than using the terminal clips.

Hitch itch, I installed mud flaps on my TV and it has saved me alot of dings! Got them at auto pro for 11 bucks. I temp. fastened them in place with wood clamps. Used a hot ice pick to mark the predrilled holes in the body where the mud flaps had to attach. it was simple after that. I am going to follow your suggestion and get some chip paint for the tongue of my TT. It has some spots that need it. I bought is used. Thanks for the tip.....John
PS. I was able to outline them agains the body and cut the excess off. Looks pretty good. Once I figure out how to post pics in here, I may put them up.
