Some stuff I've done

Only a 20 gallon fresh tank? I guess Coleman owners don't shower much.. LOL.

I don't know if they have tanks.. but a fresh tank is just a canteen, and easy to sanitize..

Try Colaw RV, got stuff from them when working on the Airstream..

Hey David, long time no see!  Need some pics on that dinette mod, I'm curious about the backrest.  My wife and I both need extra support for the lower back and campers aren't good for that.

Here are some pictures, as promised. First is the floor plan, as from the factory. The arrow points to what was a "bottle neck" problem, plus, I needed floor space more than I needed seating for 4.



Next, the new "main seat". The brown denim fabric was purchased on close out at Walmart for $2 per yard. I purchased 2 yards.





Inside of the base. 2X2 construction, glued and screwed, covered by 1/4" luan plywood. I doubled up the dividing 2X2 to help keep things in place. In view are the red/black 12v. wires and larger black coax cable for the ham radio. I made a "seat prop" out of some 1X2, a screw and some washers.



The back was made of 1X8 #2 pine cut tapered to 1 1/2" at the top. The "waste" scraps were used for "nailing surface" for the back. The arrow points to a cavity that I use to store keys, wallet, etc. out of sight.



I can access the cavity from the bed side, as I left the back of the seat a little short. Here, I am pulling back the mattress to show.



On the other side of the table, I made that seat as a stool or ottoman, with storage under. Here, I decided a small length of rope could hold the cushion up, as needed. The small 2X2 helps to keep things from shifting. The wheel well makes this 2 level storage. Speaking of which, I did have to make a cover for the wheel well, as it was covered by the original seats and was bare shiny metal.





Here is where my "monitor panel was. A small patch of stained luan covers the hole.



Here is were I moved it. Much better as I can see if I left the pump on and/or at certain times, easily access it from the bath door when I forget to turn it on.



Here is the Vortex fan unit mentioned earlier:



Here is my inverter with it's own circuit mounted inside of the wardrobe cabinet.



And here is the master switch for the DVD player and switch for the outdoor porch light. If I put any more switches in there, I'll have to get out the label maker.



As mentioned, I have new and improved seating on the drawing board that will allow for more and adjustable reclining. I may go ahead and put a small back on the other seat (ottoman)and make it a couple of inches wider.   It is 18" now and 20" would be better. I made the main seat 22" wide and will reduce it to 20" (also).

Thank you very much!
I like looking at what others have done, as it gives me ideas about what I can/could do, in my situation. Having used this for a year, it has worked much better than the OEM arrangement. I have thought of some ways to do it better. It is a work in progress.

PS - I made the back of the "main seat" above separate/removable so that I can take the mattress out, if I need to. Elsewise, I would have just made it a one piece unit.

That's some good modding work right der!  I like that prop idea, may have to barrow that.  Good looking camper and truck too!
