According to a the site that sells this mod ($34.95...hmmm..I am guessing parts alone would be $20 or so) the flashing feture is to attract attention to your RV in the event of a emergency (e.g. a EMT coming to your rig for a medical emergency)

If you are in a crowded campground and need someone to find your rig *now* this might be a worthwhile investment...

Ok, just looked them up. So it looks like somebody had the same idea I did, but also took the next step to start marketing it.

Price seems reasonable too. I think mine was around $30 in mats, he's only asking $34 on Amazon...

Thanks for the confirmation Kaadk - I may consider buying one of these...will make for a neater look on my pigtail that the Wally World bag I usually use

After coming back from Goshen, I've just spent the last couple of weeks doing a whack of new mods:

1) OC awning poles installed.
2) LED light strip installed for awning lights
3) Finalized my stereo rewiring job.
4) Changed the compartment locks to combo locks.

Plus, I've realized that there's a bunch of mods I've done in the past that have never made it into this thread. So, instead of trying to put up several posts, I've decided to put them all (past and present) in a single album. All my mods (to-date) can be found here:

Forest River Forums - Kaadk's Album: Mods

Throughout the years, as I include more and more mods I'll add them to the album.

Kaadk, where did you get that nifty little magnetic spice rack?? Very nice mods and pics btw.

~Cheers

That looks like Ikea to me. They sell a magnetic one.

Nice! And really reasonable. Thanks for that!!

We actually got ours from Canadian Tire:

But they seem to be everywhere, shouldn't be hard to find.

I installed that one at the beginning of the season, before our first trip and several trips (and miles) later they're still in place.

I actually like those a bit better, but it's in store only. What a great idea though!

[NDJollyMon]

Very nice. Love the LED lights.

[camaraderie]

Man...you do some nice work Kaadk!

[Kaadk]

Thanks all. After taking her out last weekend I got a couple of extra pictures that have been added.

One thing I learned: Even if purple is your DD's favourite colour, it's not a good choice to have your trailer lit up like a bug zapper at night.

That's hilarious!!

Nice work, that! Just curious on your maxair install... the caulking around the base... is that just the vent caulk or did you seal the undersides of your maxair?

[Kaadk]

It's the original caulking from the vent. You can see more photo's in my first thread:

http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...ong-45658.html

The caulking kept the maxairs from sitting flush, so that thread was me asking what to do about it. (The answer is add foam weatherstripping.)

I like a lot of your mods. I'm going to do a few of them myself. Just bought my first camper and already addicted to "modding" it. Doesn't help that I have 8 years of cabinet making experience in my younger years, really gets my mind thinking! I'll post some pics once I get a few done and add to the album as time goes on. Love this forum

Kaadk - where did you get the combination locks for your outside storage?

I got mine on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...ords=combi-cam

But ya'll in the states might be easier to get direct from manufacturer:

Cam Locks, Combination Cam Locks, Combinated Cam Lock, Keyless Cabinet Locks, Nokey Camlocks

Be sure to measure the length of the existing cams first. The first batch I ordered were too short and didn't stick through the door long enough to bit the nut on the opposite side. The second batch was too long, but close enough that a little bending of the latch fixed it.

What exactly is the reason for having the marker lights on when you are not hitched?? just for looks??

In my case, it's so I can spot my trailer trying to get back to it from the bathroom at night in a dark provincial park.

But yes, it does pull double duty for looks on occasion, when in a like minded crowd.

I camp in the same Provincial Parks, depending where you are it is a full forest. With kids running to the loo it is easy to find the camper. Some people use them like Patio Lanterns that might explain why canucks do it!
