Hey there, I do have the LED kits in the map and interior dome lights...as well as LED's in the KR running boards. Just ordered the LED lit for 3rd break light to finish it off. I will post those on the KR section.
Cheers

For the 5er, I put some LED's in the reading lights over the master bed and a few in the overheads to save on power while dry camping (in the event we do that)

Where are you buying them at? I have seen some recommend Superbrightled.com.

I think you are thinking of this company.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/index.htm
And yes I have bought from them, however, I had to return all the LED's as I got the wrong ones, but I will say they do have good price the site is somewhat hard to navigate around on.
So I found this site http://www.autolumination.com/
Tracy and Chris are GREAT to work with. After looking at both vendors, I think they have more choices and better quality LED's.
Most RV's use a 921 bulb for inside but a 194 will also fit, they just won't be very bright. I put 194's over our bed.
My advice when thinking of going to LED's is to buy a few different ones and see how they work for you before buying a bunch.
I thought about swapping out all my marker lights but at 7 bucks each, it's not worth it to me. I have 7 amber lights and 7 red lights, that adds up quickly and those don't run off the batts so there is no real benifit to using them other than the "cool" factor.

Yea just like the $$ I spent for my Hella LED tails on the F-150, unnecessary but way cool. Thanks for the help, I am leaving out this weekend for spring break with the family but will look into your suggested site once I get back home next week.

Well, we picked up our new 20BH not too long ago and I was itching to do some mods so without further delay....
Here's just a general pic of the outside
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/20bh1resize.gif)
And another from the other side

Sewer hose storage all closed up
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/sewerhoseholder1resize.gif)
Opened up
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/sewerhoseholder2resize.gif)
The TT had the small switches for the lighting and I really like the bigger ones so just inside the front door and the bath got these treatments.
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/switchesresize.gif)
I'm not a huge fan of the plastic camper lights on the ceiling so those got replaced and so did the ugly decorative fixture over the dinette. I used regular 110 volt house fixtures with 12 volt A15 bulbs.
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/lighting1resize.gif)
The two round lights are switched by the door but i had to reuse the 12v switch from teh ugly fixture for the spot lights.
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/lighting2resize.gif)
We have a dog so a bag holder near the door is a must
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/bagholderresize.gif)
Every camper needs a soap dispenser and a paper towel holder. I also reused one of the double plastic ceiling lights over the sink rather than the small single one that was there.
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/kitchenresize.gif)
The bed area didn't have any shelving that was open to put a clock on so..
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/clockresize.gif)
The original theater system (seen on bottom shelf) with DVD player built in just wasn't cutting it quality wise so I added a Sony home theater receiver and kept the original one for the DVD player alone.
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/entertainment1resize.gif)
The 20" TV that came with the camper was nice but it wasn't HD so we replaced it with a 26" HDTV and a swivel arm mount.

Can't live without the Oxygenics shower head
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/shower2resize.gif)
Added a positive flow shut off to it
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/shower3resize.gif)
And of course, no one likes a clingy shower curtain or water getting everywhere so we added clip holders and corner water stops.
![[image]](http://www.tacticaladvantage.com/sniper/Camper/20BH/shower1resize.gif)
There's a few more things (digital thermostat replacement, counter top extension) I want to do before our maiden voyage in it but these are a good start. If anyone has any questions on what I posted feel free to ask away!

Loopy,
Fantastic job on the mods. Thank you for sharing. I especially appreciate seeing how the mud dauber screens look, I just ordered them a couple of days ago. One question about the corner shelf and television bracket...how do you fasten to the walls? I'm nervous about drilling into the walls but do have a electronic stud finder, should I use metal screws? if so, how long?
Thanks again.

The wall that I have the TV mounted to has a support in it from the factory since that's where the original TV was mounted. The upper half of the wall is one big solid piece of wood. If you don't have this in your trailer you can still find two studs and at worst mount a board on the exterior of the wall from one stud to the other and mount it to that. The TV mount I used actually had all teh screws in one vertical row so even if I hadn't had the support in the wall I could have mounted it directly to one stud.
As far as the clock shelf goes, there weren't any studs in that corner that I could attach to so I just used the plastic wall anchors since I knew we wouldn't be putting enormous amounts of weight on it.
I used 1" screws with the plastic wall anchors.

Loopy,
Really like Sewer hose set-up. Did you make that? Or something you purchased and modified? Would appreciate hearing some details ... I'm in need of something like that.
Thanks!
