I don't have Apple stuff, but when I want to quickly add a photo from my phone, I just post from the phone using Tapatalk. It is really easy to do, just simply add the attachment.

If I want it on my PC, I either just download with a sync cable or email the photo to myself.

Consider this: I needed a grab handle in my 19 but did not want to drill any holes in the walls. So I unscrewed the shower line hanger in the wall above the sink and used its hole as a base connection for both the shower head and my grab bar. In the 19 this hole goes through plywood into the closet so I can use a machine screw and a fender washer for a sure connection. Now I have a solid base for adding shelf or whatever, below the grab bar. All reversible.

I don't know if the medicine cabinet is in the same location in all models, but if you have a 21, and don't add bars or something, it doesn't take more than one time to remember to close the toilet cover before opening it the first time after a move!

Yep, same scenario in the 5.0TA/19.

Sounds like bending plastic makes for the perfect cabinet fence-foil against toilet dumping.

Trailer: Escape 21 - Nov 2017 "Harvey"
Posts: 163
Since I started this thread, I better post an update showing what I actually did. I made a video, let's see if I can post a link successfully.



I modified the medicine cabinet in "Harvey", an Escape 21, 2nd generation (built Nov 2017). I used netting and shock cord to create a method that holds the contents, does not take away any depth like bars would do, and stretches to allow easy access.

The netting is called "Bulk 44 Knotless Netting" from Jann's Netcraft, Bulk 44 Delta Knotless Netting, catch and release netting (Thanks Iowa Dave for the tip)

I used the smallest eyelet screws I found at Home Depot. I used epoxy to secure the eyelets into the very thin plastic walls. Be sure to let the glue completely harden before threading the netting.

Two ideas that we have used: The spring loaded expandable rods from Camping World and the assortment of nifty containers from Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Jeff - thanks so much for showing your approach! - have been wondering about possibility of some stretchy net solution.

Send a message via AIM to Farmerdoug
I added tension rods and put white vinyl edging on shelves so things don't role out

Can someone tell me the current 21' trailer's medicine cabinet shelf internal width (the same width for the three shelves) and the internal heights (the top and bottom shorter ones and the middle higher one)? I searched the forum but didn't find the info. Thanks in advance.
