I like the drawers a lot. Right now I have two trays on the shelf under the sink. Were those drawers made from scratch or purchased?

2L Water Accumulator Tank
Made from 4" PVC. Capped each end. Drilled and tapped schrader valve and 1/2" water line. Installed with cut-off valve on hot-water bypass (no red-pop will enter it). Total cost ~ $20 for the tank. Quiets pump operation. Runs longer, but less often.

Battery Cut-Off
Marinco Park Power 701.
Benefits of this particular switch is that it is completely self-enclosed, mounted flush on the EXTERIOR of the battery box. No chance for electrical arcing causing trapped battery gasses to explode.
Also note the 2-pin flat dongle coming out of the starboard side of the battery box. That's a (fused) connector that I use to connect a solar panel, or female 12v plug for accessories (spotlight, boombox, air pump, etc.), or even an auxiliary battery.
Total cost was ~ $20. 3' of wiring, a 1/2" grommet, and the switch.

Here is a little something I completed a couple of weeks ago. At first my wife and I were fine not having a TV in our trailer. As we have done more and more cold weather camping we are realizing how nice it will be to be able to put in a movie till the rain stops.

Now with having the TV mounted here we will be able to see it from the front bunk end, Dinette and the couch. Yeah one seat on the couch you probably wouldn't want to sit there and try to watch but with the TV turned sideways the seat is still usable.

Generally where we camp we don't have cable. We do take along the small digital TV that normally sits in the kitchen at home. Other thing we always take is computers, at this point the PowerBook, the iMac and the iPad2 so we have lots to choose from for playing dvd's. I download and buy a lot of TV Series and play them on one of the computers. The digital TV up here is really spotty unless you have a huge antenna or are in close enough to the tower. Much easier to watch on the computer. I have an inverter that will run the computer or portable and iPad will run around 10hrs playing movies. Have used the portable one time when we missed the ferry to Naniamo and had to wait almost 3hrs for the next, gave us time to watch 3 episodes of NCIS. Computers or TV sit on a little bar with a flip up table across from the couch. While traveling they are either in cases or we have a spot where they sit. I would like to get a wall mount for the digital TV but so far have not. Like your setup for supporting the TV.

I thought the accumulator tanks had a rubber bladder to help maintain pressure

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.
Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Only air is inside it.
The rubber bladder prevents the air inside the tank from dissolving into the water and eventually water-logging the entire unit. Provided I periodically (ie between trips) drain the accumulator (turn off pump, open a faucet, and push a little air into the tank with a bike pump) it works as good as a bladder unit.
Oh, the other drawback is a bladderless tank like mine must be mounted vertically. The ones with rubber bladders can be mounted in any direction.
I got the idea from:
