Your LED lights for pantry..... Battery Powered? or did you wire them up? brand?

I check my Tailgate / hitch clearance.... If I'm straight I can lower tailgate, but just barely....... Might consider the turn towards Driver side

I ended up using battery powered with USB charging. A thin metal plate is stuck to the wall and the light is magnetic so it attaches easy to the plate and it comes off really easy for charging. My pantry is really big and deep, so I put one to light up each shelf (3).

I'm thinking about picking up another set for other areas.

Here is what I bought:

Agreed the pantry is very deep, and light does not get in there well.... I find the same thing with the bathroom cabinet too

I was thinking that too, so I thought about added two there since I have also have a lower cabinet in mine (no outside kitchen) and one in the coat closet.

If it were me I'd wrap the bars underneath with pipe foam or rubber hose, rubbing holes in the bottom of your little blue buddy could be a messy surprise, YUK!

Great idea! I'll see what I can come up with to wrap those pipes. I think they may be large in diameter for a normal hose, and foam is pretty thick but may work, I'll try that.

My spare is mounted on one of these. I'm going to have to see if there's enough room for the tote also. Looks like there's a lot of space available.

Busy busy busy....

How did you get the stickers off the range hood? I tried to start doing that but they are stuck on really good!

I've made a lot of the same mods but there's a few new ideas here for me. Thanks!

They came off fairly easy except for the middle one that pulled some of the paint off with it. I had to sand down and repaint the side of the hood, but the clean look was worth it!

Sorry for the bad pictures, but you get the idea of the project. This only shows one slide, but I did them both. I mounted the wireless dimmer controllers under my control panel and are operated separately.

Lights over the slides:

Hi Mike, any chance you have a pic of the completed electrical mod? Assuming you used marine grade hardware?

I basically bought this kit, except I purchased a black outlet cover to blend in better to my paint scheme. Easy Install!

WNY Bullet, thanks. I didn't know such kits exited and I really dislike the internal storage.
I've got one on order!
Did you do anything with the space where the cord use to be stored?
My TT is still in storage in Scottsville so installation will come later. As long as the temp is below freezing most nights I don't dare de-winterize.

My cord storage area was located directly behind my Power Center, so I removed the divider wall between the two areas and installed my Hardwired EMS there. I have not de-winterized either, but I have been doing all my other mods that I had planned. I was hoping to do my mods soon to quiet down the water pump, but can't until I de-winterize and I have several outside mods that are also on hold until the weather is warm enough to work outside here in lovely WNY!

Where and how did you run the wires for the LEDs above the slides? Also where did you pick up the power from?

For the sofa slide, I pulled power from the ceiling fixture above the sofa. I made a small hole above the light, but as far over toward the front of the slide to feed the wire up through. Even though it doesn't get close to the upper slide seal, I still sealed the roof penetration well.

On the kitchen slide I pulled the power from the light mounted below the microwave. I pulled the microwave and accessed the 12v wiring from there. I then did the same thing as the sofa slide, I made a small roof penetration close the front and fished the wiring from inside the microwave cabinet. Then again I sealed the penetration well.

I bought two wireless wall mounted dimmer switches that I mounted below my control panel to control them.

I hope that makes sense...
