The Sabre 36QBOK-7 Mods Thread
No offense to anyone, this is just a spur off of another thread specific to the Palomino Sabre 36QBOK crowd. As far as I'm concerned, post away. We just wanted a thread to post some of the mods to our units. So without further delay........picked up and went to town modding, TVs in bedroom and bunkhouse, followed by surge guard and vacpan install. Also replaced the white central vac inlet with an almond one to match everything else.

Congrats on your Palomino Sabre 36QBOK-7. Now you can drop the '(on order)' part of your sig . Great job on your mods. Quick question, our's is a -6 but what's a -7 designation?

Thanks. Good question, don't know the answer..... forgot all about changing the sig! Got lots more to do, just can't steal the time.

Thanks for starting a new thread specific to the QBOK mods. Are you going to put the mesh back over the subwolfer/surge guard or will you use a different cover?

Got a pic with it back on. You can barely see the red LEDs. If you are looking for them to check it's status, you can see them, but they're not disruptive. Will try to post more pics later.

bunk house mount
the mount I used was a sanus f107b, it was rated for 13-26, it put it on a 32 vizio led slim line, have about 1'' on each edge. im figuring for my test run ill stick foam rubber on each side & cut me out some little blocks from 2 inch foam to make sure I don't kill the wall! or tv.

I checked it out. Does it stay extended all the time.....looks like the cavity isn't wide enough to allow it to articulate back to the locked position.
Here's a few more pics of some of the other small mods - 1/2 bath sliding door lock, plate and paper towel holders, sensar pro signal meter, and Vortex II fan......I still can't get any free time....

Speaking of grab bars, I want to mount a slim handrail of sorts for going down the inside steps. With a baby, those things feel really steep at 4am in the pitch black!
Nicely done all around! I'm going to copy your idea for the bathroom lock. I know my MIL would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks. I figured the bathroom that will probably see the most traffic should definitely be able to be secured. It's a bit tricky without a 3rd hand to steady the door, but as simple as it looks. If you look in the pic I've attached of the stairs, on the left you will see a grab bar that's factory. I guess FR listened to someone on that idea.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I too have used a variation of your 1/2 bath lock. I used a bunk latch and put 2 hole for it to go into, one to lock it closed and one to lock it open. I then took the plastic snap that used to hold it open for travel and moved it so we can snap it to hold the door shut from the BH to keep the one year old from exploring and getting into trouble there!!
I added the BH tv on a swing arm. Its a 26 in with built in DVD.
Swapped out all the handles for locking ones. ( Don't understand why you could not even lock the bathroom door?!)
Added a level just inside the compartment because I have the pin cover and could not mount it there and I did not want to put any holes in the siding!
Another thing that was bothering me was the door to the BH. Why have it open to the dinette when you have a blank wall on the other side, so I flipped the door to swing the other way. Now we can leave it open and still get into the dinette.

Thanks for the ideas and pictures. I like the look of the bunk latches for the locks and what you have done with the door (having it open the other direction.) You all are giving me some great ideas on what to do, unfortunately my wallet isn't liking them quite as much Hopefully will be getting mine in the next couple of weeks so I can start contributing some pics and ideas here as well!

Did you get the bunk latches at Home Depot or something?
