A few small conveniences

I'm not sure if these really count as mods because I just bought them and put them on the camper, but a few will come in real handy.

Paper towel holder in outside storage compartment.
Trash bag holder & broom holder mounted in garage area.
Bug screens on heater, water heater, & fridge vents.

Another convenience and deterrent is to add some screen to your bumper plugs too. Takes about a minute to do both sides.

I used regular window screen and secured it with hot melt glue.

I left it inside up against the compartment door. The bottom of the compartment is angled down to the outside so water won't collect inside.

I put a hole in the screen that just fits around the tube.

Bug screens are interesting...where'd you get them? And by the way...I would have to say that ANYTHING you install or change for the better is a MOD! I have many!

We have mud wasps down here. When they decide to move in it can be difficult to clean out the mess, so I thought it would be good to discourage them.
