What I think my 179 needs

Where do you guys tap into the 12v harness, looking for easy access.

Thanks, TheBum (cool name by the way). I am putting in a 12v adapter plug not sure where yet. I just want to be able to plug in a small inverter and car phone charger.

I have a 172, and I tapped into the power for the powered television antenna in the cabinet above the stove/sink. I was able to install a voltmeter/USB port/12V adapter combination. 

Originally posted by Mojave1 Great ideas so far. My wish list is as follows: - Bigger refrigerator - the 4.2cf doesn't cut it. - Better / deeper cushions on couch - my back goes into the blinds. - Single pedestal table - so you don't hit you knee. - Larger wet bath -  couple inches longer please.  - Upgrade Lippert frame - better paint (rusting), better brackets to hold jacks & water tanks (cheap). - Dual propane tanks - I know I can do this myself. - External radio antenna - my radio reception sucks (I suspect the aluminum framing).

These may be nice, but what trade-offs would you be willing to accept in exchange? For example, would you be willing to sacrifice the convection-microwave in order to have space for a larger refrigerator? Would you be willing to sacrifice the pantry and/or the wardrobe for a larger wet bath?

As for the pedestal table, it might be nice, but it would require modifications to the seats to have a lip to hold it in place when lowered to make it into a bed. The current thin back cushion is because the table is higher and to get a level top, the back cushion needs to be thinner.

The paint on the frame could be better. There are places where it was evident that it was supported while being painted. These support places were never painted after the supports were removed. I have been under my 179 with a wire brush and a can of spray paint to address these places.

As for the water (drinking, gray, and black), I agree with the supports. I don't like the screws. They may be "industry standard" but bolts are better.

Radio: Do you have the antenna booster on of off when you listen? If it is off, have you tried when it is turned on?

On mu rusty metal under the R pod I plan to use automotive spray undercoat.  I think it will do a better job then spray paint.
