   If asking us..

We got it at Lowes, We had to ask for a mirror for a dorm room.. The woman said.. "well, all I have is this.." perfect. It only weighs about a pound, and is up there with double sided sticky tape. 1sq inch of 3m sticky tape will hold up a pound.. we used 12sqin. So far, it's been on three trips, about 1000 miles total, no problems yet..

	Where did you get the mirror and how did you mount it? I have been looking and haven't seen anything that I was sure would stay put and not shake off during towing.

	A couple more pics.. and today's 12v outlet install... Here you can see the 12v outlet below the 120v, and notice the nice, I swear as comfortable as home, mattress. I was able to just "tap" the heater 12v supply for power.. And then just a mirror and white board.. Our house couldn't operate without the magnets on the fridge and the chalkboard beside the stove.. so this gives us both, in a compact manner, feeling more like home.. We also swapped our interior lights for LED's.. but I can't get picture that looks even kind of clear of them.. OH, and I PROMISE this is the last time I will post cell phone pictures.. we do own a couple real cameras..

	Today's mods.. Added a 12v socket in the front of the dinette, and noticed there was some storage area to be recovered in that bench.. Socket.. Bench storage.. Oh yeah.. and I moved that little table mount thing to the back so it would make it easier to get in and out of the dinette on the street side. and while not a "mod" per se.. We found these two bins at wallyworld, one holds all the water stuff, the other all the electrical stuff, and they stack underneath. The larger blue bin is the Coleman stove, griddle, toast device and collapsible fire ring.

	We have done the dual battery mod, added a mirror to the bath door, a white board to the entry wall, and are about to add 12v sockets in the dinette and bed frame walls. But today I was bored and knocked out this little "device".. I have been wanting to build something like it for a while.. Not quite a trailer mod, but it's only use is with our camping trailers.. It plugs into the umbilical on the trailer, draws 12v from the trailer, and one switch turns on the running lights for camping ambiance, and the second switch turns on the emergency flashers, in case you break down and have to disconnect the TV for some reason..

	One of the more recent mod ideas that we stole from another podder was to try to enlarge the showering area by using a curtain extender. The original one by R&T was done with pvc pipe and ours was done with 3/4 and 1/2 inch type M copper pipe pipe and a screw run threw the wall to secure it and then sealed with silicone. It seemed to work well over the last weekend.

	Here are the promised pictures: Used decorative rails along the 'breakfront' to enhance usability for storing books, games, binos, etc. The little oak box has a board with vertical holes for pencil and pen storage. It was installed by the previous owner. Above the window we didn't need alot of storage, but needed to gain a little space for those lightweight things that need a home. Used the left-over piece of the rail and a piece of 1/2" plywood with an oak banding on the edge. No picture of this, but we also put a piano hinge along the back edge of the large panel under the mattress of the 171 to allow easy opening and closing of that storage compartment. We use the 1x4 that I described for mountain mist and Hodge-Podge to hold up the lid and mattress. I use #8x 1/2" sheet metal screws to fasten to the walls of the pod for light weight fastening. So far nothing has pulled out. The walls are 1/8" plywood with a coarse grain center ply, so the coarse threads on the selftapping screws seem to grip well.
