Thanks!
sunline1 - The trailer already had the shelf, we used the stand that came with the TV. We adjusted the stand and placed a square piece of plastic under it until we could see it in bed and then we screwed it down. The TV has never moved and we travel with it like that. We have velcro all over the trailer - all our remotes are velcro'd to the wall so we don't lose them.
Bonals Family - I am pretty sure we got the towel holder at Wally World - it's an over the door towel hold so we just screwed it to the door.

Bucky - we took it to a spring shop to have them do it. I have heard it's not too bad you buy the dexter kit and then it takes some welding from what I've heard. We didn't have the capability to get the axles off the ground or a welder. Most dealers will do it for a few hundred bucks. For the size of our trailer we thought it would be easier to have someone else do it.
It's a good thing we did it though we had an equalizer that the bushings were shot in and had to be replaced.

AHA! Screw it to the door!!!! I love that! We have five of us so there always towels hanging from cupboards, I hate that. And the curtain idea is brilliant and is my next mod, so we can have more elbow room while getting dressed.

Well, DH loved the mods for the sewer hose carrier and decided to build one for our new TT. He took the basics from what he saw on this site and mixed it up just a bit. I hope the link works; I tried posting pics before and they loaded across the page instead of from top to bottom (thanks Mr. Moderator for fixing that for me!). The key changes he made were to add a vent midway through the post and attached the end caps with rivets and a spring so you can just pull it down and under the post without it actually coming off or dangling by a cord.

The spring Idea is pretty cool....will it rust?

He used screen door springs...so over a period of time they may rust but could be easily replaced. Also, he put them on both ends and has double gutter that extends to about 7 feet so he can lay it under the sewer line and not have to use collapsible holders.

Great idea with the flashlight holder and Magazine Rack!
But I have one question: In the picture of the Magazine Rack why is there a flashlight in there? Shouldn't the flashlight be in the flashligt holder
