A couple of mods and fixes

In our motorhome, our poop pipe/stinky slinky has it own compartment with door.  Well, that latch on the door was in danger of letting slinky become a roadside wonder.  It was whimpy and I am sure I was going to find the door open and slinky gone one of these days.  So Mr. Fix It/David needed to get this fixed ASAP.  He was able to find a latch at Camping World and it didn't need a key (great...I do NOT need more keys to open compartments.)  The old one was plastic and the new one is a long lasting metal one that grips great.

You can see the Labrador dust inside slinky...a souvenir!












Shelf Lip on motorhome = no more falling objects!
 
Like all trailers/motorhomes, all the shelves in our camping vehicles came with no lip on the edges.  I broke one mug opening a cupboard after having driven for a day (things must have shifted) and I have gotten clunked in the head or avalanched quite a few times opening cupboards.  Now I know I should realized this is going to happen when we stop to camp again or get something out but I don't usually remember it.  So Mr. Fix It to the rescue.  He put a "lip" on each and every shelf in both our motorhome and our travel trailer.  Bless his soul...problem solved no more surprises coming down on me.
Medicine cabinet bars



Our medicine cabinet is small; smaller than the one in our travel trailer (but the sink is bigger and nice).  So ditto on things falling out of that big time everytime we stopped and opened it up for some reason.  Mr. Fix it to the rescue; he screwed up some thing poplar trim to keep things inside.







Under oven cabinet shelf
We carry a two burner electric hot plate/cook top with us for use at campgrounds (using their electric and not our propane).  Well, in our
travel trailer this fits into our oven.  It didn't fit in our motorhome oven.  Mr. Fix it made a quick shelf in the cabinet under the oven to hold this while we are traveling or if we are not using it.





Extend-A-Shower Expanding shower rod
This final mod was made before we got this motorhome by previous owner (thanks Albert!).  David had been talking about putting one of these shower curtain rods in our motorhome when we got one.  It gives the person more room to take their super quick/super fast shower.  This Extend-A-Shower Expanding Shower rod pushes back into the shower and out of the way when the shower is not in use.


That is all for today!
