Got them 2 yrs ago cheaply at CWorld but can't find them on their site now. The 2002s and beyond may have different size cup holders than older models. The doghouse was changed in 2002. http://www.aladdin-pmi.com/Alad-P-Beverage-3.aspxChris Horst 2002 30' IB Denver

Re: Cockpit Coffee Holder Reply #3 – December 06, 2004, 12:26:15 am Yahoo Message Number: 47342John,If you go to the photos section and click on the 85RL floor, one of the pics (I think the fourth or fifth one) shows a really neat cup holder on top of the dog house. It has pretty big holes that look like they can hold a "BIG GULP" from 7 Eleven!Dave '83 TK

The doghouse opens up with two holders and a tray comes out of the dash with two more. None of these worked very well, the cups bounced around, the trays rattled going down the road and the cups were not very secure. I bought two folding cup holders from Camping World and installed them on the front of the doghouse. Bolted them through the front panel. They cost about $6, fold up flat when not in use and are adjustable for several cup sizes. They have worked perfectly.Scott 94 26' RB

Yes, I got a couple of those for Gertie. They fold to about half an inch thick--very compact. I mounted one on each cab door, since the console is already full of other stuff.And
Re: Cockpit Coffee Holder Reply #6 – December 06, 2004, 01:54:35 pm Yahoo Message Number: 47361I also bought two of the folding cup holders from Camping World, and mounted them on the sides of the driver's and passenger seats. They are well made and sturdy.This location of the holders has worked well for us, although it might not be the best for a solo driver, as it can be hard to replace a cup without looking down.Barry 26' RB TX
Re: Cockpit Coffee Holder Reply #7 – December 07, 2004, 01:42:27 am Yahoo Message Number: 47394I added a couple more of those cup holders in the living area of our RB, they are great. If you have a vase with a base that fits in them and a narrowing neck, they are great flower holders. I use them for cut flowers I find or buy along the road and the water stays in them and the flowers stay put. To make it extra safe on a bumpy road, I add a rolled up paper towel inside the vase and out of sight. Currently I have a Tarahumara woven basket in one with some happy bamboo growing in it. There is a wooden frog in another one with the TV remote hiding behind him.Jonna, in Guadalajara

was coffee holder, now advice on RVing in MX Reply #9 – December 08, 2004, 07:47:28 pm Yahoo Message Number: 47506Hi John,Mexico is a huge country, so without knowing where you are going or how long you are staying I can't give you specific advice. In general, you should read David Eidell's primers on RVing
Re: was coffee holder, now advice on RVing in MX Reply #10 – December 09, 2004, 10:07:46 am Yahoo Message Number: 47535Quote Hello John: We just returned from staying in Baja over Thanksgiving weekend. As Jonna says, it is a different country with their own way of doing things. My best advice is to go with the flow and let the people there share with you the best ways of going about the country. If you go to Baja, a good book is by Foghorn Press called "Camping in Baja." It was a great source of information. We had our 13 year old son, our three dogs, and several family members in our small caravan. We stayed at a small campground called Alisitos at Kilometer 58. There was a wonderful restaurant called La Fonda next door and we parked on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I will try to post a picture, if I can figure out how to do it. (DUH!) We rented horses to ride on the beach, went into Ensenada to shop, and had an overall, fabulous time. The people were so friendly and I although I speak some Spanish, I rarely had to use it, as most of the locals speak at least some English. I would recommend this camping spot to anyone. It is boondocking, but you can park anywhere you want-there are no actual campsites per se. Anyway, it is about 1 hour south of San Diego. Good luck and have fun, John!Denise Shook 1988 26' MDhusband, Mike, son, Rob and three pooches
