We added remote controlled, color changing LED strip lights on top of our main slide inside. [image]

We added a 10watt LED light on the rear fan cover for the flag pole on the rear of the camper

And then we did a flag pole mount on the front hitch along with our American Eagle decal.

I think my best RV investment to date. A Pragma adjustable bed. Bought the frame from Walmart and the memoryfoam mattress from Amazon. The queen fits almost perfectly on the pedastle. Its about 3 inches longer, but that allows the foot-side leg brackets to hang over the edge. I did have to remove the center bracket that holds the center supports and cut off the legs. But I cleaned up the edges and re-painted them. The front and back legs came off with screws. I have a bad back, so this will allow me to sleep pain free. The wife is looking forward to being able to recline and enjoy a video. I'll report back in a few weeks after our first trip with it.

Sounds like a good idea. Can you post a pic?

The frame is set. Here's a photo with just the frame. The mattress is still de-compressing. [image]

Can you still access the storage underneath the bed?

The frame, with the legs removed, bends up about 45 degrees. Easy access.

Sorry, the bracket that allows the bend is in the middle of the frame. About even with the hinge in the cover.

Did the old LED under side lights on my TT this weekend with a little different twist so I thought I'd share. Picked up two rolls of cheap LED's on Amazon Link and a 12v remote control with dimmer Link. I wired the setup into my 12v supply for stabilizer jack under rear bunk. After reading about how many people have issues with the 3M adhesive backing letting go I decided to mount with cable ties. Down the right side I was able to cable tie to the metal LP line, on the left side I used two cable ties, one around the bolt for the underbelly skin and one attached to the first one. Yea, it's not pretty but no one is going to see it. The picture below is from before I trimmed cable ties and tightened bolt back up.

Looks great.
We also have them under our rig but ur right about the 3M tape. So we bought a roll of the heavy duty stuff and taped it to the back and it worked awesome. 3 years later still going strong.

But they make it look awesome at night!!

The trick to the 3M tape is prep. Surface has to be nearly surgically clean and the use of adhesion promoter helps tremendously. You can use pvc primer, like for plastic pipes. Just make sure you tape off adjacent areas so you don't stain surfaces you don't want it on.
