Anyone have any stress-free innovative ideas on how to keep my toddlers little hands off my switch panel, and stereo controls? All these trailers have controls way too low. Kid is a button pusher. Being that my trailer is a bunk house, you would think the designers would understand that kids would most likely occupy the trailer. Would really like to relocate both items to higher locations, but the wiring alone would be a nightmare, plus warranty would definitely be killed.

So, I was looking at something like a larger AC Thermostat cover. Something that I would block the switches, while still giving me visibility and access to them without much effort. I don't know if they make something custom for these trailers , but i they do, please let me know. I also am interested in DIY solutions.

What do you do in your stick house to "keep [your] toddler's hands off" those switches, buttons, knobs and controls that are within his/her reach? I doubt if those who design RV's give any thought to locating these types of controls to a place where button pushing toddlers can't get at them. Switches for propane and similar types of "ignition" switches --- that's a different matter.

I think parents need to educate their children about the "do's and don'ts" of living in an RV. Maybe not stress-free but who said raising children was free from stress?

Good link!

You should be able to find a matching door to make your own cover here https://www.trekwood.com/replacements. You can put a child safety latch on the door.
