Nice work. I too love to mod my trailer. You've made some nice additions.

These are all nice, Specularius! I'm about to put Bill to work

I used drywall anchors that look like fat short screws. Will have to see how it holds up.

This was an easy addition that Grand Design should have from the factory. My previous Fiver had one. A spring loaded holder that the end of the umbilical cord slips into to protect the end of the cord.

A Sewer hose storage that is easier to access. It is made from a 5 inch plastic post cover from Lowe's. It stores 25 feet of the Dominator heavy duty sewer hose along with the fittings and is accessible from both sides.

Specularius - love the mod for the sewer hose and how it is hidden behind the drop frame. How did you mount it? Picking up our 385 at the end of the month and getting great ideas from everyone on the forum.

I used one inch wide galvanized straight bars from Lowe's and pop riveted them to the post and then to the back of the sheet metal that closes off the drop frame. The spare tire is pushed back a little but appears to be riding fine. I can get a close up picture of the mounting if you would like.

Sounds fairly simple...if you can get an up close shot it would be great. Thanks for the info.

Specularius,

I take it that you got the power for the fridge bar from the light, but how did you mount the bar to the top of the fridge?

**Specularius** · 02-06-2015, 05:39 AM

Will and Dodie, I have been busy this week but will get you a picture tomorrow.

Concreteman, I followed the way that the fridge solution does and ran the wires down the drain tube and wired them to the power inlet terminals on the back of the fridge. There is a switch on the fan housing to turn it on and off. I used 3M automotive emblem tape to attach it to the roof of the fridge.
