MysticLily, I installed a window in our door on our 175. I am listing the parts I got from Lippert Industries: Inside frame-235826, Outside frame-201477, Glass GL20-226093 (GL30 glass is lighter). I used black 1 1/2" bevel headed deck type screws to assemble. It was a couple of years ago, the cost was then $56.00. Was scary to cut a hole in a nice door, so I made a template out of cardboard first judge the correct size and location on door.

i found a bed frame on Amazon that was a close-enough fit which has elevated my mattress by about 9" allowing for 'under bed storage.' i am single so it's not a problem that the frame is about 6" narrower than the mattress itself.
i've also turned my table 1/4 turn and bought a simple folding chair from a big-box store, and i sit at the table looking straight out the window. Sitting on the cushions made my back hurt because i always felt like i was tilting to one side. Again, since it's just me, i can use my cushions/seating area for storage. And because one of my 3 cupboard doors above the table kept coming loose, i just took it off completely and turned that area into my 'bookshelf.' The other two house my clothes. i plan to paint the interior and get rid of the dark cupboards and drawers, as well as the wallpaper. Am also thinking about modifying my bed and making it into a twin (since it's just me) and utilizing the rest of the space for perhaps a 'desk' of sorts, and maybe more storage:) Would love to have a retractable awning installed on it too, as well as a window in the door, and a skylight in the bathroom, but we'll see. |

I just repositioned the screen door. It had a gap on one side. Took it off and drilled new holes at the hinges. They are drilled into the door itself, so you don't see them when covered by the hinges. That and a few other things, like some sloppy caulking, make me wonder about the workmanship..still like the design though. Maybe they've put so many out, the workers got in too big a hurry.

I replaced the hot @ cold water drain plugs with water shut off valves. makes it a lot easyer to drain the tank. I got 2 water shut off valves for 1/2 in. pex tubing and 2 small hose clamps at lowes.

My tow truck is a 2000 SR5 Toyota Tacoma Pre Runner V6 with close to 200,000 miles. I am the original owner.
The rear Sway bar works great. It keeps the body roll to a minimum and just makes the truck handle better. On the rear view cam I used a wireless receiver and transmitter and took apart a license plate rear view back-up cam and powered it with a 12v cigarette plug. Got it off of Amazon less than $60 for everything. |

What tow vehicle do you have? How is this anti-sway bar working out?
What camera/display are you using? Source? I like the graphic. |

New for us, a 12v outlet for charging our phones. We added a wire shelf over our bed, from valance to valance. Hung some decorative items for a more homey feel. Love hearing from everyone about their creativity and mods.
