Our 184BH Mods

[c00lman]

Hi,

just wanted to share our 184BH mods (which the ideas coming from this forum )

1. Changed all the bulb to LEDs
2. Corner Shower holders
3. Key Hooks
4. Door towel Holders
5. Dual Propane Holder (no picture yet LOL forgot to take one)
6. Bed Frame Support (it seems the table is being supported by the wood with 3 screws each side) lol
7. added another plywood on top of the existing seat plywoods

Future Mod Plan:
1. Put in the support to change bed/table. I saw it in this forum (just need to search for it again LOL)
2. Door on the bench to access the storage quicker
3. LED Strip Light outside
4. Surge Protector
5. Bathroom Fan
6. Axle Flip (still deciding LOL)
7. Permanent Front Stabilizing Jacks.
8. Fridge Fan.
9. .....

Nice mods! We are just getting ready for our big trip of the summer (10 days down to South Dakota) and once we are ready I will take some photos and share of the mods we've done in our 2012 184BH as well, which include:

- removal of top bunk and built shelf above the bunk
- TV installation on bunk wall
- quick access to the hard to reach hidden spots in the cupboards above the counter and couch
- upgraded the plywood on the seats/bunk
- cut out an opening into dinette seat beside the door for shoe storage/easier access

and we are currently building a new table and insert for the dinette to make the bed to table conversion easier! I just ordered LED's today, hopefully they will be here by Friday, if not, will change them out when we get home. We usually camp in fully serviced locations so we don't worry immensely about battery usage.

You going to add the clear tinted window to the front door?

[3fries]

Nah. We like it frosty. The hubby is pretty sad that we don't have the window over the dinette though, lol.

[Tunce the traveler]

Added a pull down shade on the inside for night time

[3fries]

That's pretty nice actually! Would be darker than the frosty...

[Tunce the traveler]

The shade came IKEA in Vancouver and it's just the right size for that window.

That seems like a familiar list of upgrades!

Thanks. thinking of the TV installation on the bunk wall, does it have any support behind it?, I think there's on where the upper bunk is screwed in but dont feel anything above it. I haven't used the stud finder yet to check LOL. Not on top of the list yet hahah

We added thicker plywood to the benches as well. That's an easy fix. We haven't changed the bed supports yet, but may one of these days. I ordered LED replacement bulbs yesterday as well. We keep talking about it but never get around to it!

[c00lman]

Hi 3fries,

saw on your album that you have install the paper towel holder in the kitchen area. did you just screw the holder to the bottom of the cabinet or did we need to reinforce it?

we have the towel holder but didnt still it as the bottom of the cabinet seems just a plywood lol

Pretty sure we just screwed it right to the bottom of the cabinet.

This is what I did and it works fine. In the 195RB this turned out to be under the wall-mounted AC but the plywood underneath it is the same as under the cabinet.

Thanks, we will try to install ours in.

Hello. What kind of power jack is that? I'd like to install one on mine as well. Also do you have 2 batteries back there or just that one ? When I got my trailer my 2 propane tanks were against the trailer and battery upfront. Thinking about changing stuff around to fit second battery or make some sort of tray to fit another one. Thanks for the help
