My Flagstaff 8528 Mods

I finally got around to taking some pictures of my mods that I have done so far.

LED Awning light (check). I mounted them under the awning rail and ran the power cord down the awning arm into the storage compartment. I used velcro to hold the remote sensor up in the arm. I used a drawer hander to secure the power adapter inside the storage area

Here is an easy one, not a mod, just an add-on. Found this at Home Depot for $21. Now we can charge both Iphones and Ipads in one spot

An older mod, but by far my favorite. I bought this skunk skin on line. Wait till it gets dark and have some fun. A quiter RC Car works better

I picked up some battery powered LEDs for the cabinets. Here is one installed in one of the kitchen cabinets. You can put them anywhere. They have a power switch, "ON-OFF-MOTION".

OK, spent some time this week doing some more mods. This on is the outside tv. I had a buddy of mine water-jet cut a piece of aluminum and bend it at a 90. I drilled holes and mounted it inside the storage are to support the TV. I used the same TV mount as the bedroom. We can take the TV off the bedrrom mount and move it to the outside. Just a 22" for now. I can keep it in the storage area to avoid glare or move it out.

Here is a picture of the mount in the bedroom.

Busy day today, enjoying Father's Day. I finished up installing a 155 W GoPower Solar Panel and charger.

Ran the wires down the fridge vent. Snaked them back iup above the blank panel over the fridge to mount the panel, than back down to the power panel. The guy in the video, did the whole install in 12 minutes. I took my time and it was around 3 hours.

Here is the control panel mounted above the fridge. A dremel gets really loud in a confined space.

The power panel is just below the fridge so it was easy to run the wires down and make the DC connections there.

Here is one anybody can do. Go to www.polesamdholders.com. Order a flag pole holder, a flagpole, there you go. You can getmthem with tongue mount or bumper mount. Don't mind the hose and bungees
