A couple mods. 23IKSS

First is screw in pole sockets for the awning using famous awning brackets from OldCoot. I made these sockets by cutting the handles off of a couple of paint rollers. They were hollow so I filled them with Epoxy and drilled a hole for the bolt. They hang on the bracket all the time then I bring out my painters poles and screw them in when I set up. That way I can still use the painters poles in the winter to paint the ceiling and I don't have poles hanging on my trailer all the time.

Second is a kitchen drawer mod I put together. In my Roo there are two kitchen drawers about 10 inches deep each. No silverware drawer. I made a tray and cut part of the back of the original drawer out and mounted this tray inside the top drawer with full extension slides mounted backwards. I then open the main drawer and there is the silverware tray, then push the tray back out of the way and it reveals a lower level with more smaller stuff inside. The lower drawer is left along for pots and pans.

Very well done. Love the drawer mod! (Poles, too. Just have not gotten that far along, yet!)

Yeah, that drawer mod looks like a great idea. We pick up our new IKSS tomorrow and my wife has already noticed that there is no "silverware" drawer and that the 2 drawers are really deep.

mod to the mod. The inner drawer has a tendency to move while driving so I added a screw to connect it to the front. I used a long sheet metal screw and left a screw driver in the drawer so that DW could detach it during setup. I think I will drill a couple through holes and add pins and clips to the sides walls.

Very much like the upper drawer mod. It looks easily do-able. Adding it to my list.

Would a child-safe door latch serve the purpose of keeping it in place without having to secure it every time you move?
