Installed a Flat Panel in our Bedroom

It has a built in DVD so that saved space and kept wires to a minimum. This is great for laying in bed and watching a movie, and also keeps the walk-around space to a minimum.

Thanks for checking out the site. I love it when I can find forum topics like this as I've already gotten a few ideas on things to help us on the road.

I'll make sure to keep checking back to see if anyone has added anything.

Thanks for the kudo's on the site

We carry a Dual Sport Motorcycle on the back of our TT so when we're just staying for one or two nights, there is no need to completely unhook the tow vehicle from the camper. If we stay in any area for some time, the bike and it's amazing fuel mileage is our main mode of transportation

We had a receiver hitch installed on the back of the Sunline TT

General RV in Michigan tied it into the frame rails and upped the rear towing/hauling capacity to 500lbs.

Then I custom made a rack that includes a basket for hoses, the camp mat, and the BBQ Grill. This rack also holds the 400 4-Stroke that is fantastic on fuel mileage and really gets us into some areas we might never see without it.

we have put some hooks in the front compartment to hang things up like level, lantern, wrench, awning pole, etc. gave us more room and made it easier to find things while setting up
thinking about some of these mods y'all have posted mainly the mag-light holder
great ideas

Off the topic, but for all those that carry a Mag-Lite, you might want to check into the L.E.D. bulb as a replacement for the standard one.

The L.E.D. replacement is just as bright, but never burns out, and uses a quarter of the power from your batteries.

I used to hate when ever I needed the light, it seemed the bulb was burnt out. I've now had one of the L.E.D. bulbs in our Mag-Lite for over a year, with daily use and 6 full months on the road, and havent had to replace the batteries or the bulb.

Hope that helps

Nice mods, Where did you get to "Bracket" to mount the TV in the corner ? Maybe I'll mount one in my Travel trailer bedroom like you did.
Thanks,

MarionMedic, I notice that you checked my profile to see if my name was still there....


Very nice mods everymilesamemory. I've resisted putting up a DVD or TV, as we only get to camp on weekends (sometimes a little longer). I do have a portable DVD player my kids gave me, but I haven't used it in the camper yet. Still, when it's raining, it would be nice to have that mounted.
