Bboudens,
Sounds like some good work! Which brand tiles did you use? Was the peel and stick adhesive enough or did you need additional spray adhesive? Would enjoy seeing pictures of the mod. Trying to decide if I want to go with peel & stick tiles or other. Peel and stick seems lighter and easier.
Thanks for the insight. Jeff |

Wood River, I went with the peel and stick. This is more of a fashion mod than function. My spouse liked the look in some of the other trailers. I did do this mod in the fall and the sheets are still on the wall even through -20 c winter weather. Can't say if they will melt off the wall in +35 degrees. I got them at home depot. whole process took a couple hours just to be careful plus I had to remove and reinstall the window trim. Use a ruler and box cutter to keep cuts straight. My kitchen is in the slide, so I did one row of sheets along the sides about 9 in tall with long skinny tiles. Then I cut another style of small squares to use as a 3" border on the sides and as a band on the back, which ties all three walls together even tho most of the band is cut off by the window. The tiles she picked out tie in nicely with the rest of our trailer, brown and gold marble with solid dark browns beige grays and some green. Looks good. Cheers.

How did you wire that cutoff switch, I've tried the negative to fuse panel and it's not working...

The cut off switch I haven't done yet still looking for the right size A-frame box. The switch I plan to use is a basic dead current switch. Wire it red to red and black to black and a 90 o turn cuts the connection. Used em on the rigs to kill power if you have to weld and are located as close to the batteries as possible in order to be the "first link in the chain" before another power draw. I'm gonna have my mechanic install it for me.

How did you screw into the wall of the pod? I would be nervous of the opener not having enough structural integrity from repeated use.

Opener? I do not quite follow your question? As for screwing into the wall, I've used two methods.
1. Around the windows and storage access doors there is aluminum framing. Use a stud finder to find them and you can use self tapping screws to secure items. 2. Crown bolt hallow wall anchors. (see Stephen H mod page.) size #6 - 32 x 1" work great. Pre drill into the wall only about 1/2 inch max. then push the crown and bolt into the hole. remove the bolt and fasten item with said bolt. I used this method for the cup holders. Backed up with command strips and it seems to be holding strong.

How did you attach the shelves to the back since the walls are so thin?
Thanks, Debbie Crawford |
