Helps with the incomplete jacks but too much work and too much to lug around . Reason I attached blocks to pad . Nothing wrong with your setup if you are happy . Pat

According to Ancestry I don't have any Polish DNA but I'm still kind of Pole-ish. I have some aluminum tubes for my portable solar panel and a clothes line. I can fit them in the truck box but having an out of the way place to carry them is better.
We find carrying a free standing clothes line pole is handy when staying in a place that doesn't have or allow lines to be attached to trees.
So, nice mild day, perfect for getting the storage tube installed. Just a piece of 3" PVC pipe that I had kicking around plus two end caps. It's sprayed with Rustoleum semi-gloss ivory bisque. It seems to be a good match for the tongue box and the vinyl rock guards.

"...I don't have any Polish DNA but..."
Not that there's anything wrong with that. 
I 'm liking your storage tubes for my PVC antenna mast sections.

Ron: I thought the vinyl rock guards were not provided when the front box is furnished. Did you request that they still install them on your new 21?

They're probably not when the box is part of the order. My box was an 11th hour addition. I didn't order one, I was planning on fabricating my own again. Then Jim and others made some comments about getting a box as their returning customer bonus. So just before I was leaving the house to go pickup the trailer I phoned and asked if I could get the bonus box. Yes they said, do you want us to install it before you get here.
So that's why I have both the box and the vinyl rock guards. Unlike some, I'm very happy to have them given the roads I travel on.
Ron

King Paw
After readjusting our portable heater multiple times through a cool night this spring, I purchased a line voltage stat and was going to build an extension cord with a stat on it. Fortunately I did not stop there and ended up with a King Paw tapped down to 750 watts so that I can share a 15 amp circuit with other needy appliances. It protruded 3/4" from the most reasonable install space so I framed the box in a piece of oak, added a breaker to the panel, and a stat by the door. The heater grill only comes white or stainless so I sprayed it black. Very quiet and convenient.

Nice installation. I like them because of the no cords on the floor aspect and that they're very quiet.

And thanks to you for the heads up on the graphics! The 303 was already in my Amazon cart, but it hadn't occurred to me to treat the graphics, as well as my clamshell screen tent!

Dave, does your heater have a squirrel cage type fan? The photo looks like it does?

Nope, no cage either. It's an axial flow type.
There, beat Brian to it.

installed new warm white LEDs in the 'captains reading lights', as I always hated how cold blue and too bright they are....
new lamp on right, original on left, for comparision.
I used these MR11 reflector lamps. in Warm White, which are a size smaller than the stock MR16 lamps but fit right in. The only MR16 lamps I found were too high lumen for me.
https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ens/3469/7265/
an alternative is this bulb,
https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ens/2842/4846/
which is brighter and has a narrower beam spread, results here... (240 lumen on left, 100 lumen wider beam on right).... note the camera auto white balanced, and this is more what they look like when you're in the trailer without brighter cool-white lamps on.
