Here are a few of our mods. Most are not very original, but all of them make our camping experience more fun!
1. Hooks on the bunk. I'm thinking about installing more of these, they are so useful!
2. Paper towel holder. Really unoriginal, but perhaps the most used.
3. Easy clean backsplash. We bought three pieces of plastic backsplash and glued it up. Now, I just spritz and wipe when I'm done cooking.
4. Sliding drawer tubs. I lost a lot of cabinet space with these, but the space that is left is much more useable. I pull out these tubs, take them inside and load up with food before we haul out.
5. Plastic dresser drawers. I leave our camping clothes right in the trailer. Wash, fold and return clothes to the trailer when we get home.

Can't figure out how to post the pictures... How did everybody do that? I guess you'll have to cut and paste the address.

LOVE the fold down table posted above. I think I'll steal that idea!

For online forums like this one, you have to bookend the web address you have the picture hosted at, with image tags.

This is an image tag added to a web hosted picture. [*IMG*]web address here[*/IMG*] The asterisk have been added so the tag doesn't become "invisible", and you can still see it. Remove the asterisk to when you actually post a picture.

If you're still a tad confused, just click on the quote button for this post and you'll see a picture (your backsplash picture) properly formatted for posting.

Hey! Sure enough, that's my backsplash looking like a million bucks!

I was able to adjust my preferences, so I can see the pictures now. I read a bit on how to insert pictures, and it's simply too complicated for me. I only have 7 years of higher education.

Nah! It's easy! Just make sure you use the web address for the individual picture, and not the web page displaying all the pictures.

Since I don't have any large windows on the entry side of my TT, installing three Plexiglas panels (or Lexon) on the outside of my screen door allows more light into the TT when running the heat/air, while the main door remains open.

I attached the panels with commercial grade Velcro, locating 2" long strips at required intervals. I used 3/32" tinted Plexiglas, but would recommend at least 1/8". The panels are mounted on the outside of the screen door making it a little easier to keep clean.

[quote=FulltimeDreamer]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] [url]http://www.geocities.com/fulltimedreamer2004/bike-rack.html[/url][/quote] I have been pondering the whole bike thing for some time, and you have just provided a solution!! Thanks a bunch:)
