Okay, lets keep this close to the top and post all our mods.
Or maybe this could become a Sticky???? (be pinned to top)

I know I'm very visual when trying to understand something.
And I can't be the only one looking for mods and ideas.

I'm going outside right now to get some pics to post.
Gimme a minute.

My INSIDE mods so far......
(I'm no photographer and my little camera sux)
Excuse the junk and tools, I'm working on some mods.

I bought some plastic cupholders and mounted to wall and stove cabinet beside couch.
Used screws.

EDIT - Please excuse the use of my "Album".
The pics are my property, and I do not wish to give up rights to them.

You can see them HERE.....

I mounted a 12 volt 2 speed fan over table area.
It's steel caged and bladed. Came out of 18 wheeler.
It blows like a hurricane.

I mounted fan over bed in front bedroom.
12volt $10 walmart special. Oscillates.
(this is where light cover is missing) Wired into light power.

I mounted fan over upper bunk in rear.
12volt $10 walmart special. Oscillates.
Will wire into light power.

Stereo speakers over table area under TV cabinet.
Yes, Stereo speakers from my old stereo. They sound great.

I'm mounting an AM/FM/Cassete/Weatherband (cause I already have it) under TV cabinet. Hooks right into antenna already on trailer.
It's a heavy duty model that usually goes in 18 wheelers.
Might change to a CD model in future.

I'm using this to enclose/mount it.

Got this fron RV center. Is available at CW.
I like to cook, and this solves drawer clutter.

Wife replaced missing curtain. (if it ever had one) This looks nicer.

Installed MagLight clip holders beside entry door.

Below are 2 of my favorites

Put shelves in 2 of the 3 closets Attached quarter round wood to the sides of the closets with industrial strength velcro and bought the wire shelving

Installed a 2 foot counter extension that will hold 200 pounds and is level with the counter. It folds flat against the counter when not in use.

Lantley, did you purchase this bike rack or create?

Should have read all the posts, Thanks.

The toilet sprayer is on a lot of high end motorhomes, $350,000 range & up. Very good idea.

Here's a new one I did last night. After spending a weekend without radio reception and listening to all my CD's 3 times, it was time to hook up the Ipod...

Here it is attached to the side of the radio housing . I used a small piece of velcro.

I bought a 6 inch cable off of ebay or a couple of bucks -

I'm with you on that one. You can either leave it virgin for the next guy or make it as comfortable as you can for yourself. If you leave the stuff there when you sell it, the next guy may not even notice it as an add-on. The only thing I want to leave really nice for the next guy is the wall area near the stove. I need to get some covers to keep off cooking oils and grease from splashing onto the wallpaper.

Unless tomorrow has been promised to you, you better get busy today.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing. Does Lowes or HD sell any of that thin clear plastic material that could be screwed to the walls?

Here's another one I finished this week. The space under our TV cabinet was pretty much wasted so I installed a drawer -

[image]

Painted and ready to go -

When I get time I'm going to add a drawer front to it to really clean it up.

I put this organizer in my front outside compartment. I was wanting something to hold our broom that breaks down into several pieces. This gadget (from Lowes) holds the broom, my folding shovel and my ratchet tool for my Bal chock. Nice -

[image]

I looked up into the compartment and realized I had enough room for the dustpan. One cup hook later -

[image]

Mag-Lite hooks put the flashlight within easy reach -

[image]

I've been wanting a key holder for awhile and found this one that matches well -

[image]

A couple of hooks for my camping hats -

[image]

I love my outdoor cook center. I love it more with a new paper towel holder -

[image]

It folds out of the way for travel -

[image]

A couple of hooks in the side storage compartment for the awning rod, my hot dog holder and the staqbilizer wrench -
