A few new mods....

I am surprised as well since our 2003 came with clips on the back of the couch. But I've heard people talk about the rafter and crank being under the mattress. Maybe clips were broken or removed?

Our 2008 had them under mattress & when I looked on the back of the sofa there was never any clips there that I could see at least. This must be something that TM isn't consistent on installing.

Mark I showed wife the shower caddy & she said that was being done before our next trip.

Well, I finally got some time to add some shelves to the rear storage area. Had a friend who is a lot more experienced than I am when it comes to dyi projects give me a hand. I am pleased with what we accomplished. The shelves are movable and sturdy.

Thanks for sharing.....I love this idea.

GREAT!!!!! Now I have something else to do.....

I should've never shown this to DW.

I decided the shelves I built for the rear compartment needed just few enhancements to be perfect. First I added a front lip to hopefully keep things from falling out when I open the door. I also stapled some sturdy shelving material to prevent stuff from shifting around. Okay done with that project on to the next.

1) sewer hose carrier, made of 4" PVC drain pipe with holes so that the hose will dry, mounted under the TM, it frees up your bumper for carrying the stabalizer crank, your 30 AMP extension cord and other things.
2) installed a shelf in the rear storage compartment for double the room.
3) shower caddy cut down to fit in the corner of the bathroom on the countertop between the mirror and window, to hold all your toiletries while camping. You can pick up the caddy at WalMart for about $13.
4) brush type mudflap-rock guard mounted on the tow vehicle, cut down from a full size motorhome brush.... mounted to 1/8x1" aluminum angle, use exhaust clamps to mount to hitch, Chevy uses round tube. You can go all the way across if the spare tire allows enough room, Chevy doesn't. You can use square clamps ie. axle spring U-bolts easily made to order at a spring shop. With the extra left over brush I had enough to mount the rest on the TM.

Mark,
How did you attach the 4" PVC pipe under the TM. I'm planning to do that mod myself.
Thanks,
Larry

No, you have to T in after the amplifier.....works great.

[Posted in the wrong thread, perhaps? Mark, you can move it ... Bill]

Now I'm lost.. LOL

There has been some questions on the PVC sewer hose carrier, I used 4" drain tubing as for a septic field with 2 rows of holes down the length, use a PVC end cap and a screw cap, you will have to cut it to length to match the width of your TM. I used plumbers metal strap with all the holes in it and mounted the assemble up against the bottom of the frame. I used drill tip screws to mount the strap to the inside of the frame. You can mount this anywhere under the TM that has room. I have no ground clearance problems behind the tires. A word of caution...make sure that your sewer hose end fittings will fit through the screw cap end, I had to shave some material out of the inside of the cap fitting to allow my hose ends to fit through. I will post some pics......

Thanks again Mark
