Any picture I’m going to post, I make a copy of it and put it in a new file on my computer, that’s so I always have the untouched original. My pictures are stored in Windows Pictures library so my direction is based on that photo program. I do a left mouse click on the picture I want to post and I get a drop down menu, I them pick edit. That opens the picture up in Windows Paint. On the upper part you have a box called “Image” click on Resize. You they get a new box which is called Resize and Skew. Click on the button that says Pixels. You can resize by picking a smaller number. I just change the number in the Horizontal box, the Vertical will change automatically. The pictures I just posted about the Fender Table and Jack Spacer are 300 Pixels wide. You can also crop your picture by checking the button that says “Select” and then “Rectangle Selection” and drag a box around the picture you want to show. Them save your picture. If you and look at pictures others have posted put your mouse pointer on a picture and do a left mouse click and at the bottom of the drop down menu pick “Properties”. A box will open up with the basic information about the picture and in the middle is Dimensions in pixels. That way you can get an idea on how big the pictures are that others have posted and what size you may need. You may have another photo editor on your computer that will be different than the directions for Windows Paint, but they should have a way to edit picture size in Pixels.

You can right click on picture and open with Paint. Go to resize, pixels, then select something appropriate (i.e. 800x660 or 640x480, or smaller) then save it with a new file name so you don't overwrite your original . Not sure what the preferred size of attachments is on this forum.....

Fender table and jack spacer
I made a small table for my fender to hold my radio and drinks. My first attempt was the thin aluminum pieces with the bend it. It was made from a sheet of 1/16” thick 5052 aluminum I picked up at a scrap yard. I wanted a soft aluminum I could easily bend by clamping it to a table and then tapping on it with a rubber mallet to bend it. I then used the top part of my belt sander to smooth out the radius cut so it fits flush with the fender. You are limited to what the yard has in sizes and so I bent it and mounted it with 2 screws thru the fender and some adhesive sealant on the underside edges next to the wall. It worked great but it only was big enough to hold the radio. I went thru my scraps and found a sheet of 1/8” that I cut down to attach to the angled piece. The only thing holding it on are the 2 flat head screws and a dabs of adhesive on the corners. It is now big enough to hold everything. The spacer for the jack is ¾” oak flooring with a clear urethane coating. I wanted to have a little more clearance when exiting driveways.

I thought about doing the same thing, only using those rug gripper thingys, cut to fit the size of the cushion, but not attached to the cushion itself.

Here's my solution for fixing slipping wing dinette cushions on our 179.  Photos attached.  Buy some heavier duty shelf liner.  I bought black.  Cut to fit outline of cushion and just a little smaller.  Apply 3M Super 77 Pray Contact Adhesive to liner and bottom of cushion.  Let set for 1 minute to get nice and tacky.  Apply liner to bottom of seat cushion and let cure for 30 minutes.  My advice is to only buy the 3 M product as it is clear and will not soak into the material.  You want it to stay on top of fabric so you get good adhesion.  Other brands are colored and will soak into fabric so you have to put on multiple coats to get a good layer of tacky finish.  One even coat of the 3M product will be sufficient.

We have a 177 and the clothes hanger over the bed was to low even after moving it  higher.  I removed it and got a closet rod to go the full width of the trailer.  Now the clothes are up out of the way.  I also got a six shelf hanging closet organizer, cut it down to three shelves and hung it on the rod.  It can be slid  along with clothes to the foot of the bed and be out of the way.  

 

i also removed the microwave/convection oven and now use the area for storage.  I put in a removable shelf and slats to prevent things from sliding out.  The door size is 18x24 and I found a black artist canvas on a frame at a craft store.  Used self closing hinges and a black knob.  If you were artistic you could get it in white and paint something on it!





Also at a sewing store I go two foam cushions 18x18x4 and my wife covered them in black.  Since the front wall curves in these move a person out enough to sit length wise on the benches.  I like that for watching a movie.



These projects along with mods I have seen on this forum have greatly increased the functioning and comfort of the pod for us

Nice Mods.

I add the same shelf to my 179...really makes the space more usable.
