Glad you like them! Me and hubby both smiled about the caver sticker. Glad we are helping the awareness! |

Love the "glove box", my box 'o gloves are just flopping around in the storage compartment. I also like the PVC pipe mod for the hose and the mounting location. Mine is inside a large tool box but I'm not too happy with that. Two days after you posted the pic of the caver sticker I saw one on a car. Never saw one before but I knew what it meant thanks to you! |

I wanted something over the stove for extra counter space. I almost got
a wooden cutting board, but decided on a plastic one, because of price
and weight. We got dowel rod and wood screws and cut the rod 2 1/2
inches for each leg. Hubby drilled holes in each corner and we inserted
the screw with the legs. Haven't tried it out yet but I think I will
like it. I will not be using this as a cutting board, only for extra
counter space.

We got a longer sewer pipe (20 feet). We bought a drain pipe from
Lowe's with holes already drilled in it, and 2 end caps. Hubby cut it
to size and glued the caps on each end (the lids screw off). He has
attached the pipe to the bracket near the battery.
Here is the pipe (he laid the pipe with the holes on the bottom for drainage) Now installed on the pod by the battery: We can always take this off if we want to. The original pipe and holder is still in place. We could not use it because the new pipe had fittings that would not fit inside. |

Now hubby is doing some modding. He wanted a box to store the rubber
gloves inside the storage compartment, on the door.
This bin from Lowe's was basically cut in half.... Now you see it on the door: Pretty nifty, huh |

Under back window-we added our bat sticker. Many cavers (people who
explore caves), have these stickers on their vehicles. When you see
one, you know you have run across a fellow caver. So we had to add it!

Outside mods-We got the carpet mat at WalMart and it almost fits
perfectly. I liked the rack on the side for towels and other items to
dry. You can sort of see the black hamper I was going to use for trash
can. It really doesn't work well, the sides don't stay up, I need
something sturdier. Our old clothes hamper was smaller and about shot,
so I am just using the new one instead. It collapses and I store it and
the clothes rack in the bathroom when traveling, on either side of the
toilet.

This fan clips on, or has the stand base that you can switch out. I
think I got this at WalMart for $10. When set on the stand base, it
fits pretty good on the stove.

I got 2 of these organizers at WalMart ($14 each). I have one beside
the door as you come in on the right (command hooks and velcro). Nice
place to hang keys, my purse, umbrella, mini mags. We put our cell
phones there. I also got another one that I placed between the bed and
couch (slide area by couch). It stores tissues, books, pad of paper,
pen, reading glasses, the remote for tv and ball caps. Still plenty of
room in both places for additional items.
