    Towel Bars Where?

    I added one under the cabinet above the toilet. I have looked in the cavity of the slideing door in my Big Horn and I think I could put a bar there also if I used short toggle bolts, or add a brace inside the wall (which I think may be the best way. Will need to remove the door to install a...

    Epic Power Failure

    As for the cleanup and the smell, do all the cleaning you can and then take fresh coffee grounds and place them on paper plates around the RV and in the refrigerator. Close the RV up for a couple day. When you open the smell should be gone. My Dad taught me this years ago, he used to this after...

    The Dam-IT and Supid-Me award goes to "ME"

    I'm glad you posted this about the folding cable holder under the slide. Ir reminded me that the one under the door side slide is drooping. I have some conveyer belt material that I can use to strengthen the hinge area.

    Dometic fridge fans

    CTD2005 you said you order two of them, does that mean two units with two fans each? Next question, how do you remove the switch? (I'm not where I can look at it right now.) I'm thinking of getting the one w/o the switch, because my DW likes to cram things in and I figure she'll end up...

    front storage surround?

    Instead of snaps why not use heavy duty Velcro. I do like the idea of the track for it to side into. My Wife with my help could make the skirting easy enough, just need to find the right track. I think the track that the awning slides into would work. Hmmmm, maybe a winter project. We already...

    Found a fix for the legs of my camping chairs

    We have several chairs we use when camping that have the four legs with the plastric caps on the bottom of them. The metal legs seem to push through them and leave the end of the leg open for dirt/rocks to get into them. I had tried the rubber replacements but they would do the same thing. I...

    Headboard came down

    While on the way to the State Park we volunteer the head board came off the wall of our 09 3670RL. There were only 5 small finishing nails that were holding it to the wallboard. Looking for ways to refasten the headboard to the wall that won't damage the wall or the headboard. Thanks in advance.
