I am installing a strip of diamond plate behind my stove.... thought it would look nice.
But I agree, mods are great. I am not of the opinion they all need to look professional. I guess if you have an expensive rig and it is big enough to spend hours on end in and or you use it as a seasonal home it is nice to keep things looking at its best... but I am for functional. But now a days it is easy to buy things or even make things that just look awesome.

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.
Yes, and Lowe's will even cut it to size for you.
Just measure how tall and wide you want it to be.
Drill holes where screws will go befor installing to prevent cracking.
BTW - It's called plexiglass.

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.
Now this is one that myself and the wife will do right away in the bathroom closets,she packs the kids clothes in a canvas hanging shelf and by the time we get to where were going the clothes are on the floor and she also uses a bin in the bathroom on the floor and the kids are always banging it with the bathroom door great idea.

I added a Braeburn 1000 model electronic thermostat to my RV and the curved curtain rod too.
The Braeburn unit has battery powered relays so you can run your 12v heat and AC units.

Here's the bike rack I added to the A-frame of our TT. Keeps the bikes where I can see them and is not attached to the rear bumper which Keystone doesn't like. [:D]

Hey FulltimeDreamer is there any way you can take some close up shots of your bike rack so I can see how you mounted the bolts to hold the bikes on. I take it you don't have any problems with it bouncing back and forth because I really like the idea. Thanks.

I'm on the road just now and can't get pictures uploaded, but I can explain how the bolts are attached. The bikes hang on a 12" galvanized J-bolt used for attaching house framing to the foundation. There is a nut and lockwasher on both sides of the 1" square tube on the 12" J-Bolt. I also used a 8" J-bolts to attach the bike rack to the A-frame.
Hope this helps.

We have done quite a few but this one is one of my favorites. We only boondock and fresh water is important.
![[image]](http://i2.tinypic.com/vcrmzp.jpg)
The first thing I did was add this 25 gallon tank under the dinette seat. It is plumbed so it fills and drains with the main 41 gallon tank.

I then added this Shurflow water pump to pump water directly into the main tank. This was a test run so you can see some of the plumbing.

Here I am pumping water from the tanks in the truck into the TT water tank. The hose just screws onto the pump and is stored on top of the battery.
This gives us close to 100 gallons and more if I want to bring along the four extra 5-gallon jugs.
