Just added the USB charging plugs, Voltage read out and 12vdc plug. Also put the small shelve in to hold our devices which need to be charged.

Where did you find the voltage read out and charging plate? I have something similar but without the readout.

Nice and neat. Thank you for posting. Can you advise if the display etc can be rotated for vertical or horizontal install?
Thanks
Glen

Yes it can be rotated and be mounted horizontally.

LBZYA,
I like the mod and am curious how you wired these. I'm looking into installing a couple of LED pods on the rear bumper and would like to have a switch next to the trailer batteries and a second switch tied in to the aux switches in the truck. Do you know if that is possible? Also, having positioned the lights in front of the wheels, do you feel there is ample light being projected to the rear of the trailer?
Thanks in advance!

Just getting started and nothing exciting like the mods I've seen here but I just replaced the shower head with an Oxygenics head and added an Tireminder TM-77 system to the RV. Also changed out the deplorable standard mattress to an RV Latex mattress from Plush Beds. Solar/batteries is next on the list.

Foam is the way to go. We just added a 2" gel infused cooling foam topper.... what a difference!

We did also, what was intolerable so far, is now restful.

Not sure I'd really call it a 'Mod' but might help some folks.
Went to Walley World and bought the super size auto shade and the back seat 'kid' size with suction cups.
The super size (made with wire so they flip open and store compact), fit the rear window perfectly of our creekside 20fq. Yup that huge back window that so much heat can come in is much cooler when the sun comes around. I'm thinking flip it (black side) if needed in winter. Haha. Anyway it sits on top of the window sill ledge as shown. A bonus for airflow if you're lucky enough to not run a/c.

*** If boondocking this is incredibly beneficial to keep the unit cooler without needing the Jenny's while waiting for cooler evening air.

The other pic, is the skylight in the bath. I bought a thin foam backed sun visor (same idea - auto shade) at the dollar store, Cut a piece to fit slightly larger than the suction cup visor (cut to window size) then cut a slit at each end to let the suction cups thru.

Man! I was amazed at the difference in temp in the tub!! Also, by using a light foam reflecting shade, it allows some light still in. Left over foam shade material? I cut a square to fit the top of the fleece inserts in bath / bedroom.

Not pictured - regular size wire auto screens, fit all other windows perfectly and easy to pop in and pop out as well as store. (Minus kitchen window).

Just be sure to place shades on other side (closer to window than you) leaving the strings tangle free from the waffle pull down blinds.

Hope this helps others stay cool (er)

Powerwerx has a lot of these that are interchangeable as well as Blue Sea. Powerwerx actually sells some blue sea stuff. I just ended up ordering the blue sea online from Star marine depot because they stock the blue sea dual 2.4 amp usb charger. Ipads and such need more amps and alot of those other usb are 1 amp. You of course pay more for the higher amp stuff.
