1. Fix doors in the cupboards in the bathroom. We have cut 45 degree angles on the two doors that meet in the corner but maybe shorten the door on the sink pedestal, make it one piece and open from the corner towards the thetford.
2. Hinges on the upright wardrobe need a block of wood behind them on the inside of the wardrobe. Currently the screws holding the hinges on only go through the plywood and it doesn’t take long for them to loosen to the point where they can not be tightened. If the framing around the door opening on the inside of the cabinet were wider the screws would have something better to bite into.
3. a second strap on the fire extinguisher to hold the bottom of the unit into the place for it. If only one strap is desired for ease/speed of removal move it closer to the bottom and use a clip or molded opening that would securely hold the top of the extinguisher in place.
4. Frame around the ceiling vents. Screws holding the 1” frame into the ceiling do not screw into anything. We made covers to keep the early morning sun out and they are held up with Velcro at the 4 corners. If we are not very careful removing the covers (read one hand holding the frame against the ceiling and the other gently pulling each corner one at a time, we can easily pull the frame out of the ceiling.
