Finally got around to taking pictures of some mods that I have done in the last little bit. The first mod I did was build a kitchen box to store my electric griddle and can foods. It is a stand alone or you can put it on the end of the picnic table. Click on this link http://webpages.charter.net/dirtfisher/storage.htm to see the box.
As I reported earlier my A/C went out on me, burnt the starter for the compressor out and it was suggested to me that because I was plugged into the house current with a 15 amp adapter that that was probably what burnt it out. So I ran a dedicated 30 amp RV plug. Click on this link http://webpages.charter.net/dirtfisher/plugsvr.htm to see box.
I had been looking for a BAL single wheel locking chock but didn't want to pay the high price of shipping. I didn't get a BAL but I made my own locking chock by first welding together a couple of chocks and then hooking them together with a turnbuckle. Click on this link http://webpages.charter.net/dirtfisher/BAL_Leveler.htm to see the chock.
Finally, last but not least, I got rid of the 5 gal greywater bucket and replaced it with a 7 gallon Aquatainer. I took out the spout on the cap and drilled out the hole to insert a male hose end. I also have a cap that I can screw on to keep the water from spilling while taking to empty. Click on this link http://webpages.charter.net/dirtfisher/greywtr.htm to see Aquatainer.
Right at present time no more mods are planned and it is way too hot to camp even with A/C. Looking forward to the fall temps. Happy camping all..........

thanks for the comment willandgilscamper. I enjoy doing stuff like that and I am retired so I have plenty of time. The only thing about retirement is you don't get a day off. LOL Happy Camping................

Very nice. I especially like the storage mods.

Thanks Jason, I found the plans for the kitchen box on the internet and just revised them a little for my use. Haven't used it yet but am looking forward to trying it out soon. Happy Camping.................

Nice work! Makes me want a garage even more so I can work on my campers even as hot as it is.
