We have the 19 and sitting at dinette is what we do or since we need to carry a cooler sit on that . I think we like the 21 but it won't fit in our driveway but I think we like the 5 TA better because it has the nice queen bed too . But we are happy we can cook , sleep , have our own bath . What else is there ? We are inside nice and warm and Love our Little Canadian Bambi . Life is Good ! Pat

Jim, thanks to you, Nancy said "see it can be done" I now have a new tool, actually two since I was in that area and a hole in the wall of my trailer. Now I need the contact cement, carpet remnant and edging for the hole. Maybe I won't mention any more of your good ideas.
Jack

Finished hooking up the electrical, the outside step light is a bright LED light which illuminates the entire step area. I also installed a small nighttime "red" led light at an downward angle to illuminate the interior step and door lip area. Finally a switch that controls them both, accessible from outside, on the bed corner piece,

I cut 2 pieces of 1x4 to fit, measure each piece as each one is different. They store nicely under the kitchen lower cabinets on their sides with cups or what ever in between.

Thanks Jim. Quick mod before we head to West Virginia Greenbriar Trail! Enjoy Osoyoos. I am envious!

I got around to installing a medicine cabinet in the bathroom, a spice rack in the kitchen, an accessory shelf in the dinette and a couple of coffee mug racks in the kitchen.

The medicine cabinet also has 3 refillable vials for shampoo, conditioner and soap if needed.

Where did you get it? I was already thinking about those liquid dispensers for shampoo as we have them at home and just love 'em, but wasn't aware of one with a medicine cabinet attached to it. Are they attached with that super sticky stuff (VHB or whatever it's called)?
Is that the shower curtain shown behind the dispenser? And what's the tan panel that's also showing?
Great ideas!

I got the medicine cabinet years ago at Camping World, I used 2 screws as I had that wall reinforced during the build. the tan panel is the tank towel bar below the cabinet.

Thanks. Yeah, I can tell it's the towel bar below, but in the first photo showing it, there's a panel off to the right of the dispensers, where it looks like it's open. And then closed in the second photo.
Off to look for that on their website. Just my luck it's discontinued!

There are 2 panels, one on left and right of the 3 dispensers in the middle.

Pooh, it's no longer on their site. And a google search didn't pull up anything worth while. Dang!

I have a three-chamber wall-mounted dispenser thing that I got from Bed, Bath & Beyond, but it doesn't have the small cabinets on the side. The same item is available at Camping World. It's handy, but not as good as what Jim has.
