Pod People's 179 Mod's

We added 3 wire shelves in the wardrobe so that we each have 2 shelves for our clothes.  There is also a pocket unit velcroed to the inside wardrobe door.

I installed a 400watt inverter under the bed. The inverter draws power continuously, so I put an inline switch to power it on/off.  I added 2 110 receptacles that are connected to the inverter. The inverter switch and the 2 receptacles are brown to differentiate them from the standard white devices.  One receptacle is over the tv for use with the tv or the fan.  The other is below the bed for a power strip under the dinette.  The power strip can be connected to either the 12 volt inverter or the standard receptacle.  I also added 2 12 volt receptacles in the same locations.

We used a Lasagna pan to make a diverter for the heater. I added wood furring strips on 3 sides to give it a little more clearance.  It redirects the heat flow nicely and allows us to use the under bed storage area more completely.  Before winter use, I will insulate the pan.

I removed the wood board that spans the storage area under the bed and replaced it with a metal U channel and smaller piece of wood.  This gives us 2” of additional height for our storage bins under the bed

 I also recut the plywood under the bed and hinged the front section for easier access to the winterization valves and under bed storage area

We did a lot of mods that don’t require pictures-

Added additional reinforcement straps to both black and gray tank valves;

we switched the double/single LED ceiling lights around so that the kitchen has more lighting (double unit) and the bed area less light (single unit);

 installed wire mesh/screen covers for the water heater, heater  and refrigerator vents; added a hanging rod in the bath;

 added multiple Command hooks for clothing, hats and towels;

created shoe storage in both hassocks;

installed a paper towel holder on kitchen wall;

added an indoor /outdoor thermometer to the refrigerator/freezer:

there are still more in the works-not completed, but anticipated:

a custom awnin, new curtains, mosquito netting for the exit window and who knows what else

I hope this will help  some other podders with ideas.  It can be hard to get started, but doing mods is so worthwhile.  The R Pod is a great platform to start making your personal camper.

I will be glad to answer questions.

Safe travels
