Yes, it is the masterbuilt one, thanks! That knob is a good idea! DH had to adjust the center support and had to go get a tool, I'll tell him about that!

Sewer hose storage - Valterra 46" EZ Hose carrier - it doesn't hold the Rhino hose with fittings so I had to take them off. Other problems? Mounting holes were wider than the bumper, and with the spare tire it didn't sit flush either. My solution? Take cutoff hockey stick ends, tape them to the mounting ends to raise it over the spare tire mount, use velcro wrap around the hose to attach it to the bumper, and no-more-nails tape to adhere the hockey sticks to the bumper - finally complete! Who knew it'd be such a pain.

Small kitchen mods - magnetic message board, key hooks, outdoor thermometer, magnetic tins sit on magnetic strip which is attached with velcro to counter, dish rack

Wardrobe door - adding this for storing garbage bags, rain ponchos, light sticks etc. plus hooks for hanging umbrella or hats

Left lower cabinet under side bunk - for dry food items

Right lower cabinet under side bunk - fits toaster oven, coffee maker and kettle perfectly

Bathroom mods - Oxygenics shower head (awesome!), soap/shampoo dispenser, over the door hook for towels
[image]
Privacy curtain using tension bathtub rod and grommet curtains (haven't shortened them yet) to make a decent change area because the bathroom is so darn small

And I have a list of more to do's of course... DH doesn't mind if he doesn't have to do them! LOL

I am still on the hunt for the AC donut sensor.

I did a search and found a company that I emailed and said they still had some of the VENA AC/DC monitors. Bainbridge Technologies still has some. Unfortunately for me they are in Australia and the asking price is $649.00 their money, which is $568.58 USD. Then there would be shipping and all that. I can't justify that expense for my application. They might have the AC Donut sensor. If you want a contact name and email, let me know.

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

did you find that the bar is really close to the screen? i bought the same door bar but found that my fingers barely fit between the handle and the screen. i made up some wood spacers to move it away some.
haven't installed it yet, though.

I didn't find the bar that tight, only because you can now just use a finger to pull or push the door. And it saves the top screen from being pushed on. You could always install it without the spacers, and if you find it too tight, add the spacers after in the same spot. I love it though and am really happy with it.

Hello
I love the tv stand. How did you make it? We have the same prob. and we bought a similar arm and tv but have been unable to figure out how to use it without drilling holes in our RV. Does it ever tip over from the weight of the tv?

We got a few things done today. I finally put in shelves in that tiny closet of ours. I did most of it by myself, and being me that is a huge accomplishment!
Here is the start...

Getting there.... first shelf is on!

Finally done! It was more expensive than I expected, but the end results were worth the expense.

Next... Gordon put a bracket up for our small LCD TV. It wasn't easy since we couldn't use either side wall or the outside wall. He made a stand that fit on the shelf, he matched the countertop and it looks pretty good.
This is the bracket and stand that he made. At first I didn't think it would work, or look good, but he did a great job!

This is how it looks when we are going down the road.

And now my favorite mod of all! I put a soap dispenser in the shower. Boy, did it clear up alot of room!

That looks great!! I want to do something similar, but not sure if I want it so permanent. Good job, and awesome mod!
