bunk end leaks

One of the most important things is to make sure you get everything tucked in past the seals.

Dan was referring to PopupGizmos.

We use them with our three beds. Very effective in hot weather (and cool) and helps to keep the bunk ends clean, which is especially nice if you camp often under tree cover.

Hey there JR. We just picked up our 21SS this past Saturday. I've already been looking at what I can mod. We should stay in touch in case either come up with an idea that the other would like. Here are some ideas I have so far.

1. I have some left over LED strip lighting I used to light up the bed on my F150. I was going to use some in the front storage area by the bed as well as the back one by that bed.
2. I was thinking about changing the closet to make it have shelves in it.
3. We bought a Shark Lift-Around to keep in the camper. It will be stored in the bottom of the closet.
4. Maybe adding some shelves in the kitchen cabinets to better use the space.

I wonder what others with a 21SS have done.

I got mine. Get them for your 21ss. They are sitting in a box (staring at me) waiting patiently for my Roo to be picked up end of March. I figured I'd get a jump on things so when I get my Roo home and make the announcement here I will be ready for Dan when he chimes in with his "America's #1 Mod" schtick. :-)

Dan did lead me down the path to making that purchase. I had never heard of such a thing before then and I had popup'd for 11 years.

You got lots of room in that camper with the slide out. My favorite thing is LED's. Did your new 21ss come with them??

Suhweet! Good for you. My 233s has them and I wasnt expecting that. I've kinda narrowed down the window to when they made them standard. Sometime between 9/7/12 and 10/17/12.
