We just got back from Alaska - don't forget blackout material for the windows, at least the ones next to the bed. It still stays pretty light up there! I used thin blue foam insulating sheets and cut them to fit the windows. Worked great. Have a wonderful trip! Our Pod did GREAT!!

I drive down a lot of dirt roads and suggest that you might replace the screws that attach the hinges to larger doors with some bigger screws. The stock stuff is might be ok for smooth pavement but falls out on washboard or rough roads.

Shelf projects. Used pine and dowells from Lowes. Cabot Wood Gingersnap Stain and Seal that matched kinda close. Screwed into corner cabinet studs (used small drill bit to check location).

We always dry camp so here are some mods to save weight and provide more room along with energy sources. Table alone saved 22 pounds. Have shaved 112 pounds off the 151 so far. Also the false back walls take up 3 inches of depth, ditched those also. Giant pantry area where the microwave was. Door keep falling off storage area near door so axed it(7.5 pounds) and removed the false back to make enough room for all the bedding, drinking water and books.

After moving the propane regulator, the spare tire just sits in there? And does it flop around forward & back with the tie down on there? Very interested in this!

The spare tire is a snug fit, but to be extra safe I had 2 small hooks welded on to secure the tire down with a tie down.

This is the battery cut off switch I installed, I'm now looking for a water poof key to install to keep water out. It doesn't rain in s, Calif. as they say. :)

New hose holder on the frame of a Hood river model. Up and out of the way.

Cutting board over stove.
A lot more to come.
Also did the clock on the wall and spice rack above sink.
New TV as the one that came with the Pod wasn't very good. Much better now.
