My 'holder' for under bed storage is a toilet plunger. Works great, won't slip. �� Took out glass shower doors and replaced with a foldable shower extension rod. So much more elbow room. 2012 Jayco Greyhawk.

I installed a little "circuit" using a LED and a resistor that gives me a green light when current is flowing thru the heating element of the water heater. I ran the wire and mounted it under the steps going upstairs so we can tell when the water heater is heating.

I had it in another rig and it moved over to the Eagle 11 years ago.

Has anyone removed the small bench seat across from kitchen in a 145rb? Thinking of creating a two person dinette in it’s place so we can leave bed made up. This would also allow us to use proper mattress and get rid of folding table.

Can you provide the specific parts used and where purchased ?

In the 145rb group on Facebook, a few folks have. Two person dinette and also a cafe style table against the window with a pair of stools with backs.

If you hang pictures etc in your RV don't use screws or nails. Instead use strips of Velcro. They stay in place and don't fall or get crooked.
Cheers from Rick

Some folks use velcro to attach things to the walls or what not. I use these in places:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1

Latest use? Pictures. We have some pictures that we hang up once we arrive. The magnets are REALLY strong, but taking the pictures on and off the wall is easy peasy.

I've heard some use these magnets on their remote controls for the TV too.

Slammed screen door

We attached a spring to the screen doors to account for the fact that grandchildren never close the door … and the cat gets stupid when a door is left open.

Check out K&J magnets. They have some crazy strong magnets at good prices. I stuck a couple smaller ones on the top 2 corners of the water heater door as it is in the side of the camper and the magnets keeps the corners closed tight.

I'll revive the thread as I found it helpful. 2019 24B Class C, new to us last year.

-Replaced the door handle/lock with a keyless push-button version. No more keys needed.
-Added a security lock.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Replaced all the storage CH751 locks to tubular cam locks.
https://ch751.com/buy/locks/
-Added the extension to the gutters so don't get dripped on when getting in and out of the cab. Idea taken from a user in another thread on this site (thanks!!!).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Command caddy added next to stove for daily-used spices.
-Magnetic knife racks added on each wall above the stove (it's in a corner).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Purchased but not yet installed Breville air fryer oven. Our unit didn't come with an oven and the stock convection micro is awful (might upgrade down the line). I would also like to see pics of the mods others have done on their ovens.
-Undid the eye-searing mod to the 'window treatments' a previous owner made.
-Installed magnetic-mounted, motion activated LED lights inside the deep cabinets. Game changer.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Added 2 dimmable night lights.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Changed the mattress.
-Swapped the analog thermostat to digital. Took a bit to find the old Coleman-Mach on the web, but I found one!
-Bought sheets in designs we liked to make a duvet. Can flip the comforter depending on our mood (beach vs. US map).
-Purchased Y adapter for the outside propane connection so can connect camp stove to onboard tank.
-Added broom handle-grab hooks behind the driver's seat to hold the stepladder.
-Added a weather station with 3 remote sensors for the fridge, freezer and to hand off the outside door handle. Just wish it had wifi and/or a remote alarm when something is outside parameters. Good to know how the fridge/freezer is doing, but even better to alert when there's a problem!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1


There's probably more, but I can't remember them at the moment.

Could you post some pics? Our unit came with a drawer under the cooktop and I've purchased the same oven to install. Would love to see how it looks!

Thanks!
