If you look at some of the Youtube videos available that show the R-Pod factory, you can see that the frames essentially outline the shape and have framing members near the door and windows. It is not like a house with studs every 16 or 24 inches.

Texman,
Looks like there is 2 near the door and then nothing until 10" or so before the window. That's like 3 feet! I have the 180 so mines totally different, But it doesn't look like anything is there, did you try a regular studfinder also? maybe someone with a 182G could chime in? rgds John

Stud finder worked...
But i don't see a stud between the door and the stud to the right of the window. Is there one there?   |

I bounce on here every now and then and admire your mods. Your attention to detail is top shelf! One of these days, when I'm in one place long enough and have access to tools, I'm going to take on the under-bed drawers.

DawgLady,
InspirePod, new name for the Pod! The reason I did not make it go all the way to the edge of the cabinet space was I did not need to. It works as it should and when I don't need it installed I have to store it somewhere and space is always at a premium. I usually fill that space with plastic tubs for shoes, daypacks and other nice to have along items. rgds John

John & Sue,
Thank you so much for all your instructions on these great mods. We would like to do the furnace heat deflector. Was wondering if there is a reason you didn't bring the deflector out to end of bed. You are a great inspiration  Sara

Dawglady,
Grocery's are not my department; I'm hardware, Sue is software. We have pretty well defined responsibilities. I can tell you that she uses the cabinet above the sink for food, half the cabinet above the dinette for dry goods, and the other half for plates and such. The drawer under the dinette seat is used as a pot drawer. I keep a large cooler in the backseat of my truck for beer, wine and a few other cold items. Having made the drawers in the kitchen pop out larger allows way more stuff to fit in there. She has a mantra "less is more". rgds John

Xfitpanther,
The ones I buy are the 5050 they are a little better quality with thicker wires on the end, The 3528 has the thinner wire. They have never come with anything but red and black wires on the end. the colored ones have RGB and black wires with a 4 pin connector that plugs into the IR reader. I also bought a roll of the RGB & black wire because that way I can mount the IR anywhere. I usually either crimp for interior or solder with heatshrink for exterior. I did have to buy a real good quality Klien stripper for the old thin wire ones, that helped. rgds John

I love all your mods!! Wondering where you store your groceries in the 180. I use the closet with rod for clothes but thinking that might be better as a grocery cabinet but then where would I hang coats etc? Your suggestions would be appreciated as you have great ideas

Thanks for the response! The sticky tape doesn't even stick very well to the LED strip itself. On my television I got some of those corner connectors and made it look all nice and neat, but the strips just fall off, then they fall out of the connectors.. *growl*
Did you cut the little DC connector off and install a fuse and all that business? The copper strands are pretty lacking as well in the wires. I sure do like them but wish the quality was a smidge better. I didn't think of the truck bed, I may try that now, thanks for the ideaa!
