I don't know why they don't come with it from the factory ?.

I also put in gas gauge.

I noticed that with one ficture on 2 factory bulbs fan on converter goes on .
1 bulb it does not.

All 12 inside LED's and 1 outside LED's on the fan doesn't go on.
that means 13 LED's = 1 regular bulb



Also installed a 300 watt inverter built it into dummy panel next to fuse box.
Behind it was wheel well to mount it to.
was going to install a 12 volt outlet but realized I only use it for inverter so mounted that instead.

Why don't you get a 12 volt plug ?


Put in tv also had the swivel bracket and tv from old camper

[fourfourto]

Cut out under dinette and used a picture frame for access to cat litter box .
in other trailer I had it in the tub and left the bathroom door open.
this is much better .
I can clean it from access under dinette or from outside hatch.
I surrounded it with Omaha steaks cooler lids .Also insulates


Also installed a safe in wardrobe cabinet,had it from other camper .

What brand size and type of tv mount did you use. I have a 2017 1750RD and we want to mount a 24in to the wall but dont want a mount that sticks way out or to heavy when we go done the road. Does the mount you have easily detach from the tv for travel?

[rjrelander]

I used an inexpensive fixed mount from Best Buy for ours because a) I'm cheap and b) I wasn't sure what a swivel would do when the trailer was moving. I also picked up some different wall screws because the tips of the ones that came with it would have poked through the outer siding.

Insignia™ - Fixed TV Wall Mount

I had to mount it up higher than I wanted because you have to tighten down the final two screws from underneath. That also makes it difficult to remove if needed. I also had to pick up 90 degree coax and HDMI adapters because everything is tight up against the wall.

EDIT: We just leave ours mounted for travel and haven't had any issues so far.

I have a 19 inch tv with a inexpensive ebay mount bought it 10 years ago not sure what kind.
I was thinking of putting in a 24 w/dvd but heavier mount would be needed.
I also not sure if I would trust a heavier tv traveling.
The setup I have works great not worried on bumpy roads .
Added a slim dvd player double sided tape on counter up against wires $29.99Walmart

Nice job on all your mods. Enjoy camping in your new rig.

[roadglide]

i'm amazed at all the wasted space in today's rvs . Nice work and it appears you will know what to do when something goes wrong after the warrenty is over.

[Alpine]

Great personal touches that make it home!

[tgoodwin321]

All very nice. Thanks for sharing! Got sign off from DW on the laundry mod. Great idea and will work nicely under our Murphy/couch storage area.

Can you get close up of your stabilizer pads and post them here. They look awesome and I might be interested in something like this.

[fourfourto]

I use them only in driveway as its sloped.

I just cut 3 logs to size needed 2 for stabilizers 1 for tongue caped with some copper sheathing used for roofs attached some 1x plank to bottom as 1st ones I made rotted at bottom after several years,figured I can change out bottom if needed.
I also soaked the logs with used motor oil
Bought some handles at dollar store , that's it.

try to get some pics soon.

This way boards I need to bring with me don't get weathered. also you get hight needed without using several boards.
