No, that's where I hang my Roller Derby Uniform.

Darn it Don, I thought we agreed that was secret!

I have to get my cheap thrills somewhere.

Can you also see amp-hours remaining?

Nope. Volts only. I was keeping it simple.

From GTS - Tony's Outlaw, a new shower head, shower wand, and valve - connected with in-wall plumbing, just like at home.








Great Job

[DGShaffer]

That's great. Nice work!

Tony (GTS) added a second set of 6VDC Batteries under the entry step by building a new frame...doubles the boondocking power storage.

It's really genius to fit 4 in about the space by simply rotating the batteries 90 degrees.

The pics are 1. Original frame - in place
2. Original Frame - removed
3. Frame for new set of 4
4. New batteries (x4) under the step.








Notice the Cooooool Damon Key Fob...Some of us have the matching briefcase too

Here's a Mod that's been done different ways - Installing a bigger TV in the main room.

I used an off the shelf pivot arm that is made for that sized TV (40") and mounted it to a nice thick plank of wood to spread the load.
Once it was up, even though all the pivot points have tightening hardware, I added a web-strap to keep it away from the slide when retracted.





We can pivot it left-right and it can even see from both sides of the dinette.

When you need to replace the microwave, what will you do?

I just got a generic 1200Watt unit with carousel from Walmart that fit the original hole, secured it with a couple brackets ('cuz the original is only held in by the facia) and add 2 lengths of molding trim (Home Depot sourced in this case).

Less expensive than an RV microwave and works great!

Looks great. Very nice work.

Good if it's not replacing a convection oven that needs venting like in my case. It looks factory though.

Good point about the optional convection micro. We have the oven under the cooktop and have used it many times, so we prefer having both.

Does the convection vent to it's own exit? The vent hood does and could probably be tied together with a convection micro(?)

[DGShaffer]

The fascia plate on the convection types is louvered and the outer sheet metal on the oven itself is louvered but you can't see that part of it. We've never owned a MH with an regular oven and have learned to work with the convection oven well enough. I enjoy cooking outside on the fire pit and gas grill

[BpK9Miami]

I've had to replace my convection oven on two occasions (one broken door and an electrical fire - scary). I'm on my third one and so far no probems except the heat build up in the upper cabinet.

The unit is not vented to the outside by any attachement, and the louvers do little to disipate the heat through the outside wall (even if you turn on the vent fan). Despite that, I've learned to live & cook with it, but I admit, I miss having a conventional oven.

I've been looking at adding a designated vent / fan to get around the issue, but so far, just haven't made the time. In the meantime I make a point not to store anything in the overhead that's heat sensative or can be spoiled, and cross my fingers I don't have to cook anything for longer than 40 minutes at 400 degrees!
