RB minor improvements

March 21, 2021, 07:55:55 pm

Some of the minor improvements I've made on the way to making Lidia perfect:
1. Hooks on the the inside of the closet door, outside the closet door and inside the shower.
2. Digital thermostat.
3. A handle on the bottom of the medicine cabinet door. The way it is set up, closing the door always involves putting fingerprints on the mirror. With a handle, the mirror stays cleaner.
4. Changed out the window and shower curtain for clearer ones to let the light in. (there is no skylight in the RB, only the window and an electric light) And in true LD style, the curtain rod is not screwed to the bracket, but riveted to keep it from moving....had to drill those out. Also a soap dish.
5.. Magnetic knife rack.
6. Storage/key rack on back of perpendicular overhead cabinet.
7. Storage box/night stand on passenger side cabinet in overhead bunk. (LD added a 12v outlet at this end on the bottom of that cabinet, so phone charging is handy.)
8. I also put insulating reflective foam on the wall and under the driver side couch (my bed of choice)
9. Heater vent connections were rattling when in use, so I added a screw to tighten the connection.
10. Added 3 vent fan covers so the fans can be used when it's raining.

On the list for when I get braver with my drill...quickie tank flushers and a 15amp inlet connected to an outlet inside so I can connect an electric space heater that doesn't hog all the rv system amperage.

Hi,
I love what you have done. I am definitely using many of your ideas. Izzy has been in storage since I brought her home from florida 2 weeks ago. I have booked appointments at recommended RV services and my local mechanical for general maintenance work in preparing fir my first trip at the end of April.

My first upgrade will be installing TPMS. The former owner gave ne a rear camera system yet to be installed. My 2002 23.5ft TK is the best decision I have made in years. Just having her and knowing I can get up and go has lifted a huge weight off me.

I love this group and hope to head West in the future to meet some of your.
