Fixtures. Some of the ceiling lights
I see some mods on your pictures. What kind of lights, as in where did you get them. They look very nice and are they 12volts too. the wording over the slide on kitchen side? fireplace did you add it? towel bar by sink? the clock, what holds it.
I see a few pictures hanging, same on holding them to walls? and the table between the recliners?
your camper looks very nice and home like. Just asking because we want to do some things to ours but just haven't yet!

Sorry for the long delay on posting a reply here but have not been on the forum for a while. Anyway to answer some of your questions: The light upgrades were purchased through camping world and yes they are 12 volt. I do not see them on their website any longer but am sure they would have them available elsewhere. Here's a link to another site that carries them. http://tweetys.com/lowprofilelight-2-colors.aspx I think they were on sale for under $40.00 each when purchased at Camping World. I only replaced a couple where they would make the most bang. The wording on the wall above the kitchen slide my wife purchased at Shopko. Most deparment stores carry them. You have to rub them onto the wall. My wife did that one. Yes, I installed the fireplace, there are posts on that modification here on the website. The Clock is just hung up with a screw into the paneling. Stays up there and hasn't fallen off nor does it swing side to side as I adjusted the screw depth to hold it tightly to the wall. The towel bars were bought at a local hardware store, (Menard's Hardware Plus). They are also installed in the bath area. I used a copper pipe cutter to cut the pipe to length and that allowed me to customize the length of each one. The Rods slide into the end caps so you can cut them to any length. The pictures are hung on the wall using double sided velcro Command hangers. Here's the website: http://www.command.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/NACommand/Command/?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=SE_wall-hangers&WT.seg_4=6711149605&gclid=CL7hwbj73K0CFSgBQAodwUcXtw they work great, leave no marks of any kind once removed. Pictures have not moved once up. I put two tabs on the top side of each picture and one across the bottom, this way they cannot move when the vehicle is in motion. The table between the two recliners was purchased at a local furniture store. This was a find because it is very hard to find such a narrow table, especially one with a drawer in it. It holds our remotes nicely. If you would want the brand name of the table, I could call the furniture store and find out. You could probably purchase one on line if you had that info. Anway, that's the scoop on that. Glad you like it.

Outbackmac:
Smitty, in his post, is responding to the questions asked by byrdr1 re 12v lights, towel bars, method used to hang pictures and a couple of other mods that smitty has done. That, I think, is what's being talked about.

Some mods were in previous posts. The rest I cannot get pictures of right now. Fifth Wheel is tucked away in storage along with another hundred or so. I live in Upper Michigan and when I say Upper, that's 3 hrs. Into the U.P. from the Mackinaw Bridge. Wish I could get in her to take some pics but will have to wait until Spring. Thanks Hank for the link you posted.
