Camping World. Search for ''skid wheels'' and you will find them. They were like 39.99 with shipping. Bolt ons, I had to do a little repositioning on them to get them to fit because the V on the bracket had a narrower angle compared to the depth of the wheel bracket. We're rolling out tomorrow morning, so we'll see how they do.
[quote=jdubh2]Where did you get those wheels and were they welded on or bolted? I need those.Quote:

BTW... you motorhome guys are killing us with these cool mods in those huge basement storage compartments (that we'd love to have)!
Mike
I have seen a few trailers with big storage areas. My last motorhome was a Pace Arrow that had teeny tiny little storage bays.
I have gotten some of my best mods from you guys here on the trailer forum. The Class A guys don't seem to do alot of mods.

You can check for different wheels on Northern Tools website also. They have quite a few to look at.

I bought a 6" piece of PVC pipe 5ft.long for my sewer hose and instead of using brackets to mount it up under my camper,I got some string and laid it across the top and bottom of the pipe from one end to the other,taped it with duct tape and then painted the string with spray paint then removed the string.That gave me a line on the top and bottom.I drilled 5/16 holes down the line 6" apart and on the opposite side I drilled 1/2" holes.The 1/2" holes are enough clearance to use the adapter on the fitting of a cordless drill.Have the side of the pipe with the 1/2"holes down toward the ground.Using the 5/16 self taping screws that hold my underpinning on,I mounted the pipe down the frame and you do not have any brackets to worry about.

Okay, just had a chance to take pictures of my LCD HDTV installation.
Since I already had the TV platform and it has a very sturdy top, I decided to go with a pole mount rather than an arm. I just drilled straight through the top and bolted it down.
It was still wobbly with just the pole (the TV tends to yaw side to side) since there is so much mass suspended. I used cap head bolts and aluminum tubing to make four tall legs that screw into the holes for the base. I capped them with little hose caps as feet and it seems to work great.
The TV is a 26" so it's no lightweight to be sure.
I don't know why I bothered to upgrade the TV since we hardly ever watch but at least I lost some weight, gained some counter space and have an ATSC tuner now!

Did the LED light upgrade kit on my Bargman model 84 tail lights. WOW they
are nice. much brighter than the incandescent 1157 bulbs that were in
there.
the whole job is just 5 minutes (if you are slow) and involves no more than
R&Ring the old lens and bulb with the new LED lens.
The thing I was always plagued with is dust getting in the old lens and
coating the backside of the lens and the bulb, making them dimmer over time,
so I was always taking the old lenses off to clean bulb and lens.
the led unit is a totally sealed package.
my local RV parts store didn't stock them, and wanted $36.00 each plus
shipping to get them, so I hit the internet and found them here....

Just updated our webshots with most of the stuff done to our camper but wanted to post this picture. I bought this at BB&B and spray painted it to match the camper trim. I wanted a place to put all the dog "stuff" when they are with us to keep it off the counters. It's loaded up and will try it out next weekend:
