I found the prewired stereo position in our new to us bigfoot, and got a $48 microwave from wallyworld and put it up in the cupboard above the stove where the microwave prewire is. I'm going to get some shelf liner (like tool box) and put under it to keep from moving while going down the road. If this doesn't work I guess I'll leave to fabricate some straps to put over it to keep it in place.

I finally bit the bullet and started the wiring needs for a house battery. For some reason I thought I could finish by the next weekend. We shall see!

See my blog post for details and pics.

Finally started my 1981 frontier project! It's a classic 8ft'r that needs a new insulation job, minor (so far) wood replacement and some new vents. Basically I'm skinning it and working from the outside in.

Found a purpose for the basement access inside. Shoe storage! It even has drainage holes.

We picked up a huge roll of the rubber shelf liner at the 'dollar store'. But on the microwave I think you might want to phyiscally secure?

Replaced our batteries Friday, must be somthing in the air. One dumped a cell-noted the solar was continously chargeing @ 6amps, everything off.

This weekend, I finally got all my mount parts to mount the new TV/DVD (RCA Deck 15DR 12/120 volt). I used Sanus wall mount (MF215) and added an extra arm from my Sanus Desk Mount (MD115-G1) that I didn't need because one arm on the desk mount was enough. I needed just a little more arm length in the camper to reach around the corner for the living area.

Pardon the mess in the cabinet, but spring cleaning has not started.

I am still making a foam insert that will fit behind the TV plus a couple of Velcro straps that will secure it while traveling.

I also installed a 12 volt socket near the back that I will use to keep the cell phones charged.

I was going to mount two more 12 volt sockets on each side of the bed for charging the cell phones at night, but I have to wait until the auto parts gets in another delivery. I'll mount them next to each of the lights in the front of the overhead sleeping area. I also need two more 12 volt sockets to mount next to the couch for the computer and tablet.
