Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing.

I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main living area anyway, so I decided to tackle both jobs today. A trip to Wal-Mart for two fans($8.48 each) and we're halfway there.

She picked the spot, and I got to work -



I picked up the power from her overhead light. All I have left is to install a short piece of wire cover and I'm done -



I added one in the main area -



I dropped by Lowe's and found this cool soap dispenser. I also just installed these Pop-a-Toothbrush holders -



I added a sopa dispenser to the kitchen area as well. I also installed a Pop-a-Napkin under the radio -



Here's an easy mod. I found this over the door towel rack at Walmart and it works great -

YES and I will find out this weekend, suppose to rain! 😮
And Fisherguy it's not as bad (bright)as the picture shows.

Are those the led's with what looks like speaker wire for the power hook up? If by chance they are,let me know if they still work after a few miles on a wet road.And how fast some burn out.

You didn't wanna over do it? :B

Looks great Whiskey man! Did you only do them on one side? I really like how it looks like one continuous light the length of the trailer.

Got my china LED lights up and running, a lot of work, but worth it!

Not at all. 😄 It's just that out here in West Texas the combination of the "caliche" dust (very alkalyd) and then when it does rain, it can really play havoc on those female brass contacts in the pigtail connector. Keeping them clean and covered helps a lot. I do the same on my boat trailer and utility trailer.

Sounds like a perfect use for some dielectric grease.

Yes sir, and I use dielectric grease. But it seems stuff sticks to it real bad when we get one of these out here.......hence the cover also. :E

May be a market for something like that. Post up some pics when you getter done.

Did you make/have someone make the brackets that fit on the square bumper or did you buy those?
