Mounting a Garmin 7200 without drilling holes. Plywood covered with vinyl (temporally) fits into the upper drawer. The GPS is easily visible from either side.

Cherry rear window frame and window treatment.

Modified lower ball joint mount to accept Hummer H1 ball joint.

Changed upper shock mount to accommodate Koni FSD

And last but not least, the 502 with multiport fuel injection.


Also not shown was to bore out my bellcranks and install tapered roller bearings. Installed Koni FSD on rear, and moved the upper shock mount so that the shocks would be more vertical to accommodate the damping rate of the Konis.

No pictures but:
1 - added under cabinet slides (2) under the cook top. Same kind of slides I added throughout the kitchen at home.
2 - added a toe switch to the vacuum cleaner. The system previously had you shove the hose in for a connection. Too many problems and no shut off. Toe switch - hose in gently, on/off, no yanking to pull out.

Good idea this post!
Sorry, I have not figured out how to post pictures but our modifications include:
a) Checked cupboards and if upper portion was not used, added a shelf.
b) Checked closets and if upper or lower portion not used, added another shelf.
c) Kitchen table - bench seats with drawers - storage space behind drawers easily accessible if bench lid is removable.
d) Added a storage box to outside at rear bumper for storage of flamable items such as extra propane, outboard motor gas, etc.
e) Removed carpet from living room area and installed vinyl laminate oak flooring.
f) rewired a/c circuit to provide additional plug in for a heater that is only used in cool weather when a/c is not used.
g) Added "hypervent" under the mattress to prevent mildew from forming over the storage area.
h) replaced some light fixtures to give better lighting for reading.
i) Added VCR holders under a overhead cupboard to hold satellite tv and internet receivers with two-sided tape to hold receivers in place while travelling.
j) Added plastic boxes to area under the sofa to store office type items and papers.
k) Added expandable grating to electric step to prevent slipping rather than using fabric type step covers that hold moisture and increase rusting of steps.
l) Added brackets to outside to carry our Porta-bote (12 foot foldup boat) that in the travel mode is 4 inches thick.

Anyone interested, I can email pictures. (email: frankspence@hughes.net)



Frank, i would DEFINITELY rethink"D" as it would be a disaster in even a slight rearend collision.

Nothing major yet. We recovered and refinished the dining chairs


refinished the table top


replaced the love seat with new home size unit and club chair with a recliner that matches new couch.


recovered the window treatments and colored the light shade and added some gold trim to it.


On the list for this winter,

1. refinish cabinets
2. remove carpet and replace with laminate.
3. If finances allow have captains seats recovered with leath
