Lazy Daze - Clock Change

April 19, 2021, 05:34:57 pm

I'm in the process of upgrading and fixing a few items before the summer camping season starts (2001 Mid Bath).  Last week, I upgraded both the TV and clock.

CLOCK:
The original 2001 MB Lazy Daze clock clicked each second which I find annoying for sleep. The mechanism also had issues.  I'm always torn between form and function, and the old clock did not meet either need.   I initially decided on function searching for a simple weather station digital clock that had backlighting so we could tell the time at night.  However, after searching for hours, I found that battery operated clocks are not continuously lit.  You can find a few with a button for "on-demand" backlighting but then you would need to get up out of bed.  Such a continually backlit digital clock may exist, but I could not find it.  I assume the battery would run down too fast.   

So if I cannot have function, I'm going for something that looks good.   Hoping to find a retro looking clock, I found a mid-century 1950s style clock that is hand-made by a retiree who sells them on Ebay.  (I don't know him but I think his clocks are a work of art legendcreekdesign on eBay   They are light weight (acrylic layers) with a smooth continuous second hand (no-click), bold colors that in my view are a great match for a Lazy Daze.   Most are bold colors but our selection in sage green to closely matched the RV Colors.  Kinda wanted a bold color, but the wife wins, and I certainly like it as well. 

TV:
We had a larger 19" TV we had been using in our house kitchen that became available.  It has a built in DVD player that we never used in our house but certainly will use in the RV.  Overall the new LED TV set up has improved sound & picture and is lighter weight.  And anytime you eliminate a separate DVD player and a remote that's a good thing.  I plan to install a sound bar under it within the cabinet.

This week, I need to clean and lubricate window tracks, de-winterize, fix backup camera, and install a Econo Tire Monitoring System.   Fix bathroom vinyl, wax, re work the whole front curtain set up so I don't stab my hands, replace lock on outside refrig, add battery water, oil change ...

Hi Linda,

Here's the link:  legendcreekdesign on eBay

I was not sure I was allowed to share -  I have no interest in this other than I really like the clocks.     It has a nail post but you would want to secure with a Velcro to be sure if you purchase.  Acrylic is glass-like but much lighter.   It might survive a fall to carpet.  With the nail and velcro it's secure with no worries.  If not in green/ sage I'm sure he would make one.
