I use the sticky foam and apply to any metal hooks that are hanging over the door. They are less likely to slide during travel.

I'm using the same shoe organizer for bathroom storage, but instead of using the over-the-door hooks I'm using 3M hooks with the outdoor rated adhesive strips. That way you don't have the possibility of damaging the door with the metal hooks.

Thanks Stephen, I don't think I will be able to splice in any external speakers but that's okay. I hope the entertainment unit lasts awhile as I couldn't google anything about it so replacement of it could be difficult. Love seeing your Proverbs quote.

Thanks StephenH! Two weeks until our trip, so sometime this week I'll probably park on the driveway and start packing everything in there to see what fits where. I'm also playing around with the idea of putting a storage pod on top of the Durango to give us a little extra room in the vehicle, but I suspect it may actually improve gas mileage by bumping up the airflow a bit. I'd also like to get a few coats of wax on there to make cleaning off the bugs a little easier.

My mods show how I connected the television to the back of the audio unit using the headphone out connector on the television and the AUX 1 RCA inputs on the back of the unit. It works quite well. The pictures aren't so good, but it was hard to see what I was doing. It should be adequate to give you an idea of how to route the cables better.
Unfortunately, I did not see any speaker out connectors while I was back there, although the wiring harness did have several short wire stubs. Perhaps a pair of those are additional speaker outputs. I don't have the wiring diagram to be sure though. |

Thanks for posting the pictures. Using a BBQ cover is creative recycling. I like it. Thanks also for the drawer and burner cover pictures. I hope to get going on those soon before we take the R-Pod out again.

Thanks for the reply to my question. Bummer though 'cuz my entertainment component doesn't have any audio outs. Does anyone know how to wire out audio from the internals? I tried a quick splice from internal speakers with no success...I wonder what I did wrong as I'm no newbie to wiring. Jobwabe

Oh yeah, almost forgot - my wife had me remove the frog and fish decals this week. Now I guess that means I get to look at custom decals! I also removed the Zamp and Nitrogen stickers as they were peeling already.
 How do you like my wheel covers - I cut an old BBQ cover in half after I had trouble finding the right sized covers in stock locally. Now I think I'll just use my ugly covers until they are no longer useful  If you look closely you can also see my awkward arrangement of my battery boxes. They are secure, but two wouldn't fit side by side so one is raised and at an angle. m |

Sorry for the delay, I've been coaching all weekend for my little girls' soccer tournament.
StephenH - sorry to hear about the damaged cookbooks. Luckily we won't have that same issue in the 176T as the drawers are under the cooktop. Here's my cutting board. I had some rubber feet and some dowel, so I cut the dowel to the height I wanted and drilled a pilot hole through the dowel and into the cutting board and then drove a screw through the dowel into the cutting board.   I still take it off the counter when we travel and put it on the bed when we travel in case it feels like going for a walk  Jowabe - all I did was run a cable from the RCA audio ports on the back of the TV to the front of the Jensen unit and the AUX AV/IN port. I then set the TV to only use the external speakers and not the TV speakers. You need to crank it up a bit more, but it sounds way better. It's not pretty, but I'll do a better job of running the cable later.  Also, here are my larger drawers:  I'm really happy we can fit our dividers in there now. One more small thing in this picture that I adjusted was the brown divider at the end of the bench. It was a little high and was going to rip off with the kids jumping on and off of there. It's still high enough to hold the seat cushion in place, but low enough that your butt doesn't hit it when you slide out of the seat
