The outlet under the cabinet on the left of the tv for now. Gonna install an outlet in the cabinet for the tv and a DVD player. I also have the 32 inch in the same space as yours, but wanted to make it easier for the kids watch tv while we travel

That's a good use of space over the door :-)

It fit perfectly. Used an old broken particle board dresser to get a solid mount behind it

So this is sort of unfair I think two things I wish I could cross post this because I recently posted a question in a form about what to do with the walls and I was recommended to just leave the wallpaper because it was laminated to the Luanne which is 2.7 mm thick Birch wood also known as Luanne or soffit material and homebuilding the point is that I am I am a very persistent individual and wanted very much to bring the wood look into the living area or rather this the space that I use for sleeping so this is in the back corner where there once was a closet and I have to say that the product I’ve used him I tried the offbrand and it did not work very good but the product that I useWas called citristrip and it worked awesome
So let’s have the comments and yes I will update with final pictures when I’m complete

Great mods. We did the shower head but just the one with a stopper, must check out yours.

I would like to add some more 12 volt sockets.

Remote Battery Bank and Inverter

We've had our '10 Daybreak for about 8 months and are heading to Quartzsite, AZ later this month so I felt some more battery capacity was necessary. I recently added a pair of Interstate GC2 batteries remotely in an aft compartment along with a 2000 watt inverter to provide 110 volt power without having to run the generator. The inverter is attached to the remote battery bank and the remote bank is connected to the forward battery bank by cable. While this may not be the ideal setup it does allow us to quietly power the TVs, satellite and phone chargers along with the coffee maker, microwave and hair dryer as needed. When 110 volt power is needed I just turn off my A/C breakers, the converter breaker and switch the fridge to gas and plug in my shore power cable into the inverter with the appropriate adapters. I don't have any solar yet so a couple of hours of generator time mid-day keeps everything charged up.
