Just a bunch of mods for a 2400BH or anything

Wow, that looks REALLY nice!

I installed these over the bed a while back and they work like a champ. The touch dimming is nice. I also installed a pair of these above the recliners. The 315 has one large, bright light fixture in this location that shines in your eyes. These directional reading lights solved that problem.

Kim, I would like to do the same. Where do you get the mounting plates?

Hi Kirk, I won't wait for Kim to reply

If you go back a couple posts, I gave the link to thingiverse where I made the file available. Here is the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3531945

If you have a 3D printer, you should be able to whip them up in what ever color you want. If you do not have one, find a friend that does, or I think you can have them printed and shipped right from thingiverse now too.

I didn't use mounting plates, just the bezels that came with the lights. In the bedroom I left the old fixtures in place and mounted the reading lights a little aft so the light comes over the shoulder and on the reading material. The existing fixtures provide extra lighting in the room, handy when I drop stuff on the floor Over the recliners I left the original fixture in place and mounted the new reading lights a little further back so they wouldn't shine toward my face, so new holes were used that the bezels covered. I wanted to keep the original fixture here for additional cabin lighting if needed.

Those mounting plates are really nice, I'd have used them if I had them. Nice stuff Jim!

Thanks sir. I may yet install one of the original LEDs between the reading lights. One is plenty with the other two LED pucks already in the room. Everything is LED and super bright.

Just a follow-up picture showing both now installed.

I really want to do something with the center part of the overhead storage. It is very difficult to use as it is with that cabinet being one single large opening with a door on each end. Another future mod.
I am also going to cut the panel over the shoe storage area in the entry as there is a lot of room not being used above the floor there. Plenty of room for another shelf for more shoes. With four of us in there, it gets to be too much for the way it is set up.

Couple simple ones this round. First up, received and installed the hitch 2516 lock from Proven Locks. Looks good, should work a treat at making the neighbors a better target than us.



Next, just a simple modification under the lower bunk. We have a lifetime table that we like to set outside the camper, and storing it right by the door is very handy. It used to flop over, but no more. This is just a smoothly finished piece of angle I had laying around. I mounted it with 2 #10 x 3/4" screws. Good to go.



Finally, we have been wanting to do something with the huge amount of space behind the TV. It is too deep to really be easily used from the entryway, so the better half happened upon a couple plastic drawer things that fit in there just about right. I put my tool box on the side of it, and the woodwork behind the TV has a lip that just keeps everything in place.

Yesterday I was able to get the bike rack installed. This is a pretty nice unit, except for the name. "Jack-It"... really Lippert? At any rate, it is a solid piece and seems to hold the bikes well. You can also padlock the pieces, and then bike lock the bikes to the mount itself for added security. It was a pretty straight-forward install with the only tricky part being the length of wire that powers the jack limiting your ability to alight the jack, the hole it goes through, and the mount at the same time. I finally found the right angle and it all went together without removing the wire.

I also got tired of the 751s for many reasons including security and they quickly became hard to insert the keys into, to name a few. So they are gone.



Something to note for the other Imagine owners out there, and probably anyone with these doors: On one of the pass-through doors, I found out the factory lock was just barely engaging. When I put the new locks in, the cam was just slightly shorter, and by slightly, maybe 1/16". It did not engage enough to lock the door. I had to go with 1.5" long cams where the factory ones are 1.25". These engage much better now, and the locks are much smoother in operation.
