The grill mount made it extendable also
Then a place for the poles where needed
We found we needed another outlet on the countertop so added an outlet
Our next adventure it became evident that we needed 12volt tech chargers.
A rainy day in the camper showed us the need
So

Even before we added the power ports i was concerned with the heat off the lights so we moved to leds. They work great at nite

And for 8.00 i can put in the indies as they blow out if they do
When we rearranged the kitchen we needed a drawer so i reconfigured fridge area We do not use the furnace. Electric heaters as we pay for electric.
We needed another drawer so we added one below fridge. I moved the louvered panel to bottom and the crossbar up and used full extension removable slides to support a 16x24 drawer
Open and full
Slides are 16.00 and 5.00 for wood. I am going to create the face this winter in the wood shop

Hi robo. I'm also looking to add another propane quick disconnect so I can use my grill and stove at the same time. Would you be able to show what parts you used to do this. Thanks

Is what i used 1/4 npt elbow. Tee and 2 and 2.5 inch nipples.
Use pipe dope/ sealant
I went to lowes and got the hose. Bulk air line i purchased 2 barb ends to connect to hose and grill. Use gear clamps to seal hose to barbs connect it and use soapy water( alot of dawn) make water used by kids for bubbles test for leaks. You know its toght when the bubble stopp bubbleing

Using a air hose is a bomb in the making with propane But You saved a few dollars just hope Your pay back does not go bang! Your taking to big a chance with a set up like that I seen a gas leak up close once and the fire was bad and the lost trailer was a set up as You are using ....Just the reason for gas lines made for propane for safety 2 very different hoses....Bushman :eek:
Umm no it is rated for gas i checked before i purchased it is sealed. Also it is not high pressure. 11water colum which is equals 1/2 psi

There's a "sticky" about adding an additional QD gas port on the forum. It's located here: http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9739
There is some discussion about using pneumatic hose for gas hose and pneumatic fittings for gas fittings. Lots of good information for the "casual user" of propane systems, might want to check it out.....

I also hope that he used quick connect fittings made for propane and not the ones Home Depot sells for air compressors. Those fittings leak and that would be an explosion waiting to happen.

Question about the extended grill mount. In the photo it appears that you can move your grill out on a 90 to the trailer, instead of straight back. Did you just cut the little metal bar that prevents this from being an option normally? Also in relation, did you "need" to extend the arm in order to be able to fit the grill past the trailer with the arm on a 90?
Yes cut the stop so it would swing farther drilled a hole for the pin. My thought with making it slide was so i could use it while raining and tight camp spots.

But did you need to make it slide in order for it to extended far enough from the side of the trailer? If you didn't make the extension would it still work?
Thanks for doing this btw, something I have yet to do but have been wanting to do. This gives me confidence. :)
You are welcome. To be honest open to orginal position 90degrees from back bumper is ok.
The extension was to get past my awning arm and give access to my fridge

Some interesting mods, hope they all work. You comment that you pay for electric so you use electric heat. Most or many only use electric heat when they don't have to pay for it otherwise they use propane which is generally cheaper. Just wondering. I stay away from electric heat as much as possible as I have seen too man theaters melt and cause fires.
Here are some pics of teardown

LOL, I thought from the title of your post that you had done (and kept track of) 3,220 modifications. I was thinking, "darn, this guy is obsessed!" Nice on the under fridge drawer, I was thinking mine needs the same thing.
Quick post adding an ice maker and wifi to the camper over the next week. Yahoo

You're my Hero Bro. Outstanding work!
Ok added the wifi and also a media center to unit. And got a great ebay deal on a portable ice maker. No more buying ice for drinks
Also when i say we pay for electric we pay 6.00 each nite we camp so i am getting my 6.00 worth LOL
Aaaa the ice maker is a fine unit.
Wifi is working great also
The camper mods are now on pause. My focus this winter has TO be to work on the 95 powerstroke tow rig. The body is soo rotten I am afraid someone will get hurt on the rust. In sept this year I had to work in Boise,ID. I used points to fly so company paid for $$ amount of flight. I snagged a 1992 2x4 f250 ext cab for 750. I also bought a 74 f150 short box 4x4 and sold for 2000 before I bought it Via phone call. Shipping cost 1500 for both trucks. Sweetened the deal for driver. gave him 2 hotels stays for trip here. holiday inn points. so after the sale of truck and moneys from work the 92 actually cost me $50.00 so not that bad for a parts truck. As a bonus the driver was able to see family that he has not seen in years. they live about 75 miles from me. The pieces to repair my body would be about 1400 localy if I could find good pieces. well out to start my new project later all
Truck is coming along well posting vids on utube all painted old truck dismantle gonna start putting together
Ok not keystone but related its the tow rig. Over past year and few months. It was a total rebuild
