ouR escaPOD mods

I'm not sure it's that easy for everybody.  Our Pod is parked for the winter and here the temps over the winter are a long long way south of zero so the units freeze solid.  I fill the system with antifreeze just to be sure, so SH's helpful mods are...well...really helpful.  I plan on copying the bed mod for next fall.

Glad to be of assistance.

The light has a mounting bracket that removes from the back. The bracket came with both hook and loop adhesive fasteners and short screws. I chose to use the screws as I did not know if the adhesive would hold adequately or weaken with time. There is a template for the  screws on the instructions page. I figure that the screws should hold with the motion of the trailer. We have hit some significant potholes in our travels that rearranged some of the cabinets for us, so the screws seem like a better option.

Here are two simple mods that are quite useful:

1. We had previously purchased a couple of LED lights from Aldi. These are a little light bar that has a motion sensor. One is in our laundry area at home. I had the second one for a while and was thinking of how I could use it. I came up with the idea to mount it in the wardrobe closet, which is rather dark. I think you will see that it provides good light and since it has a motion detector, it turns on automatically when the door is opened. To save battery life, I have it set for a short time-out after which it shuts itself off.


The light also does a good job of lighting the drawers when they are pulled out.


2. My wife had complained about the lighting for the sink area. The two lights that are in the kitchen area are located so that they do not provide much light for the sink. I was originally going to use the light above, but decided it just did not look good enough to use there. I found instead this Rite Lite LED Track Light on Amazon. It turns out that this not only provides much better lighting for the sink area, but it solves the problem of having a switch near the door so we can turn a light on and not come in to a dark R-Pod. It has a remote which I will mount to the wall (right now, it is sitting on the counter next to the door). I don't have to mess with any wiring this way.


And lit:


The heads swivel so that I can aim them to provide the best task lighting, not only for the sink, but for the sides as well. My wife is happy with this mod.

Looks good. Something else added to my to do list
