Very nice on the Equal-i-zer bar bracket.
I was thinking of doing something along those lines but I decided to keep locking up the bars in the front pass-through when stored or at the campground. I'd be in a world of trouble getting home if some yahoo decided to steal them.
When I'm at home (gated property) I just lean them against the brackets on the tongue.
Still, very well done.

Question, Has anyone build a mod for compartment storage? I looked at some slide out trays and they are a pretty penny. I have a large storage bin in the front of my camper but its hard to reach all the way in. A large sliding tray would be awesome. Any Ideas?

One guy on this thread, javaseuf, built a slide out deck for his TT. I'm betting you could get those rails and build yourself a drawer that slides out.

I bought a couple of the following at Target and use them in my rear pass thru to stow things in the middle. That way I could use every inch of available space w/o having slides/wood and more wt. in the rear of the trailer. They are the ones w/o wheels and are 43 1/2" long, 19" wide and 7 " deep. IIRC they were just over $20 each.

Buy 2 sliding drawer rails at Lowes or Home Depot, a piece of plywood cut to the size you want, and there you've got it. It ain't rocket science. If your storage area is 'sunken', you might have to install the slider rails on two 2x4 to raise the plywood up so it clears the lip.

Just an idea...
I was thinking of attaching two casters just inside the lip of my storage. My Rubbermaid already have wheels on one end. I figure the casters would allow me to pull out the rubber made over the lip without scraping. I think it would be easier and save the space the rails would chew up. With casters near the lip in transit movement wouldn't be a problem either.
I am thinking a picture is the best way to illustrate this idea.

What I do is simply pull both of the plastic storage boxes to the edge and then the top on will slide out and I have a piece of plywood that I lay inside the compartment so when removing the bottom one it doesn't hit the lip on the door frame. That way I can use all my storage area w/o installing anything permanently or taking up space or weight with things like slides, supports, plywood frame/panels.

The OP started by installing a couple of fans for a warm bunk. I was thinking of doing the same for my DD but had a few questions. Does anyone know if it has to be a DC fan like one you might buy from an auto parts store, or can i simply use a regular 6 in desktop fan? As an alternative I guess I would ask, Could I use a DC battery operated fan that also uses and AC adaptor and wire it similar to the OP? Thanks for any and all help anyone can offer.

Our son Cameron finally outgrew the small Pack-n-Play we used for his crib in the TT. I wanted something a tad nicer... and something that we could convert to a toddler bed as he got older.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
Here is our floorplan:
I removed the jack-knife couch from the bunkhouse:
And installed a convertible crib:
This crib will convert to a partial gate toddler bed, and a full open toddler bed as Cameron gets older.
A couple L brackets hold it secure to the floor.
The open spaces next to the crib have become the perfect places to store our bag chairs, thule shelf, and patio mat.
Enjoy!!
