I love your Mods, Hodge-Podge.  I too am not mechanically inclined, however I am lucky because my better half is good at them.   He does those for me---I tell him what I want and he makes it happen along with his own  ideas of improving the Pod mechanically.    I tend toward making the Pod more comfortable and that works for both of us too.  I love seeing mods like yours as it tends to give me ideas that I can relate to.

I love the hooks holding the shower hose in place, that thing gets on my nerves too.  I keep meaning to make a PVC hose holder, right now I'm using a large tool box.

Thanks for the link to David's post Hodge-PODge. Enjoyed it.
 
Yes, the Appalachians are older, and maybe wiser. I like different mountains for different reasons.
Best thing to do is get up close to them and learn. We hope to introduce our pod to many types.

Again, thanks for your post and, the rest of you, please jump in!
 
David, those were beautiful pictures, and quite an adventure trek, too!  What beautiful mountains!  I was on an airplane and gawking out the window the first time I saw the Rockies.  In awe, I remarked, "Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen the Rockies.  I'm only used to the Appalachians, but these are so different."
 
The passenger next to me replied with just a tinge of contempt, "Well, those aren't really mountains, are they?"
 
I answered, "Well, I'll admit there is something majestic, grandeur-like, and even forbidding about the Rockies."  But our mountains [the Appalachians] are more like an old grandma that hugs you and invites you to "Come on in and sit a spell."
 
She looked at me like I was absolutely crazy.  She didn't consider that the Appalachians are just OLD and wearing down, and the Rockies are still new and are still pushing up.  I don't think she got what I was talking about, do you?  Ouch   BUT OF COURSE THEY ARE MOUNTAINS!
 
Uh-oh, I regress.  Anyway, I just wanted you to know I enjoyed reading your adventures, and the pictures really did make the story so much better.  Good job, there!

Ah ha! Your 177 must be a later model than ours? You have a nice railing above the micro. We just have some slightly raised trim, but we were planning mods today and decided to put something up there that would function like your setup. You also have a sink in the loo.
Really like everything you did! Great tip on rolling basket source. I especially like the cup chimes.Big smile

thanks
 
Jim the baskets came from TARGET. 
TARGET had the same basket (different colors) online at
(This is the green one.) But for this kind of thing, I prefer shopping in person, myself. 
 
Maybe the following measurements will help even if you can't find this exact basket.  This particular basket is a wheeled stacking basket (the handles flip to the inside for stacking).  The dimensions are:
20 inches L   x   16 3/8 W   x   10 3/4 inches H, and its the STERILITE brand.
 
The tubs inside the dinette bench are the HOMZ brand from K-Mart - they are 10 gallons.

Great ideas! Will try to incorporate some of them, especially the PVC hose storage; as I somehow broke the door on the the stock tube last trip out. Actually, one of the little tabs on the latch broke off.

You SHOULD be proud....you did great.  Yes, we do tend to talk a little too much "tech" and need people like you to post something else.  It's good and it is bound to be interesting to all and help someone.
 
Being a single guy, I don't use half of the storage that I have.  My idea of "packing" amounts to a toothbrush, bar of soap, towel, and a change of clothes LOL.  But, I still enjoyed reading and seeing what you have done.  Who knows...maybe one day I'll expand my "packing list" and some of your hints/tips/tricks will come in handy.

Well, THANKS, Jayber (loved the comment about the 3-year old).  And David, I really do appreciate your uplifting words - you made me feel proud of myself!  Clap
