This is what we used in the walls and it worked really well.  We tried to find studs when we could, but these were good!  Got them at Home Depot.

Love your backrest though.  Those blinds get on my nerves when I'm trying to sit up and read.  They bother me so much I finally just now got curtains instead - just for the bed area.  I'm going to put them up with a Spring tension rod.  (I may add some magnets to the hem of the curtains and to the wall under the window - I'll see if I need them first.)  I don't think building a back rest is within my scope of skills. Ouch

We hear you about the bathroom.  Right now, it seems good for storage as we are travelling with a teenager.  In a few years, when he is tired of travelling with us, we will probably modify again to suit us!  We did keep this in mind with the mod as the only thing that was added were the two rails that hold up the shelves and baskets. That way, we can still have the bathroom to use inthe future!

The bathroom was one of the reasons I went with the R-Pod.  Nice mods though.

For me it is every time we camp anymore.  The Pod bathroom is welcome at 2:00AM!

Welcome.  Creative use of the bathroom, but I'll tell you from experience that the day will come when its 2 am, 45 degrees and raining outside and that bathroom will call your name!

Thanks for pictures. It is always nice to see what ideas other people have come up with. Don't forget to use a paperclip or clothes pin or elastic band around the paper towels or they will be completely unwound when you get where you're going. I use a clothes pin as I can use it for the swim suits etc. as well.

Hi Podders,
Just wanted to post some of our pod mods for you all to see!

TV Extension Bracket for our 20" TV:



Here is the splitter inside the cabinet:



Here is the bracket which the arm connects to - this way we can disconnect the TV for travel.



Here is the Salt & Pepper Shaker:



Inside Bathroom Door Organizer:



We are using the bathroom for storage.  We figure when we can't make it to the campground bathroom, it's time to stop camping!! Wacko



Brackets for the shelf/drawer combo:



Lastly (for now) the paper towel holder!



Hopefully we'll have a few more soon.  We need to put in some hooks, a mirror and a battery cut off switch next.

Happy Camping!

good ideas, thanks for the post. especially like the one in the pictures, as I have been trying to think of a way make a back rest for reading / tv watching.
