Ron & Bucky,
Thanks for the pictures on the shelving.
I normally don't like the wire shelves, but they are light weight & easy to move around. I can see that they also let more light into the cabinet than wood shelves would.
Ok, now I have my next interior project to work on....lol.

Pat, thanks for the info on the antenna.I am still on the fence about what to do, but an interior antenna might just work for the local channels since I like to drag our Directv satellite along on most trips. I know, I know, I used to be one of those campers who would look at campers with sat dishes as being ridiculous, but here we are a few years later dragging ours along.........lol.

Gotta love camping with all the comforts..... [emoticon]

I am just wondering how are people attaching things to the walls of their trailers. Expecially the flat panel tv's. I would love to do that but worried about it pulling out of the wall. What do you need to do special to make sure what you attach stays attached [emoticon]

I dry camp 99% of the time so, for the latest mod, I removed the microwave and put a door over the hole, now I have a nice place for my pots and pans, also made my own clock and put it up.

Here's one of my favorites. It protects the jack head (power jack) and gives me a place to hang the chains, and umbilical to protect them from the weather, too.

I made one of these this weekend. I used a 15 gal white plastic trash can and three 3" S hooks. Very easy mod.

I also made one these this weekend. Used a kitty litter container and fits nice next to the gas cans.

Take a piece of plywood large enough to span two wall studs on your wall (either use nice looking wood piece with routered edges or cover with the same wall covering as your trailer). Mount your TVs mounting bracket to the piece of plywood (you can through bolt in to the plywood). Now you can mount the plywood to your wall...............should give you the added support you are looking for.

I just installed an electric fireplace in my TT... I did it on kind of a whim after i saw one in a Skyline Trailer at the RV show in January...

Forgive the less than ideal quality pics - it was cold and dark in the TT and I was trying to capture the "flaming logs" - pics are a little grainy...
