I've enjoyed looking at all you guys Mods! Even though I don't have a travel trailer many of the mods posted can be used in a variety of RVs. I have gotten a lot of good ideas from your postings. Thanks Travel Trailer Forum! Thanks 2Rad4US for starting the topic.

Moderator--Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realize any rules were being violated in bumping.
This is a great thread and one that folks are interested in and a great way to learn about them. Thanks everyone.

I have a 15 foot trailer and the shower/toilet is so small that my wife won't use it. It has a cabinet/closet with a door next to it and they are located in the rear of the trailer. It's a one year old trailer. Has anyone taken a closet and bath/toilet out and made one bigger bath/shower? It would be nice to sit on the toilet if it wasn't wet from taking a shower. And a dry floor would be nice too. I have a shop and can do any kind of custom wood and metal work do the building isn't a problem. Just how much can these trailers be customized? She would shower if she didn't have to share with a toilet.
I figure that with the closet removed and a new door I could fit a better bath. I would need a shower pan and or stall and could remove and turn the toilet and reuse it. Any thoughts?

Here's mine. I used 120V Plain ole home depot rope lighting and I pulled power off the 120V outlet. The cool thing when I have shore power the lights will work. No shore power no light! Cool night light for kids and mom and dad alike!

Hey Les! If we can't bump, can we still grind?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Okay, cool mods is the subject! I just upgraded all my clearance lights to LED fixtures. My trailer has Bargman 59 clearance lights. Bargman makes an upgrade kit for this fixture which features a dual LED module and a new lens...

[image]

It took me about fifteen minutes to change all the lights. It's super simple... pop off the old lens, pull out the bulb, plug in the new adapter and snap the cover back on. Instant upgrade!

[image]

You can see the difference in this shot which has the LED on the far right and the stock bulbs in the other two.

Not to shabby for under $100 and a few minutes work.

Mike what model did you get? It looks like its a 2 led. can you keep the base and not have to cut the caulk. They make a ton of models so if you can publish the model number that would great. Thanks




Whoops never mind! Duh you only gave it the first line of your post. Sorry they look good!

Grind all you want Mike, although IMO I don't think you have the "proper" equipment for that [emoticon] [emoticon] ...
