Future things to do will be to install bathroom sink/outside light.The water pump is only hooked up to toilet and not the sink.Don't ask me why but this will also be changed.I will be having a very light weight rack made to hold Honda 1000 gen set and small gas can.I am also looking for a small lcd tv and dvd player.That will be when it becomes affordable.Also looking for external TV antena.

They're much easier to find when you search under the term "laptop". You should get more hits using that.
The ones they make now can even retrieve and store photos/videos off your camera, store/play music, and, depending on where you are, can even check your email and be used to make phone calls.

I usually put in this same suggestion... if you have a portable computer, use it.
I have noticed that the portable DVD players with really tiny screens have become stupidly cheap. If there isn't a laptop around the house already, and the tiny screen is acceptable, it's hard to beat the economics of a US$78 or Cdn$99 solution!

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.

I was shopping around for a small LCD TV w/ built in DVD for my office (so that when I'm working in the middle of the night it can keep me company, don't ask...) The best deals I saw out there were at Costco and Zellers.
I like your coffee shelf, looks like the containers were just made to fit in there

I am [b]VERY impressed with my WINEGARD "Hideaway" antenna.
It's simple to deploy, gives a sharp clear picture and good sound, and easy to stow.

My 2 cents on DVD/CD... If you want music think iPod. I'm in my 50s and got an iPod some months ago. These are the greatest things since the 8 track! My thought is that if your getting a DVD player or some other electronics just check that it has auxilary inputs in the back. I have LOADS of music loaded on my iPod, Loads of pictures and even some video. Plug it into a sterio, a boom box, or my garage sterio and I have my ENTIRE music collection in the palm of my hand. I have a 30gig iPod and the wife has one and I also have a timy shuffel iPod and got one for mu daughter. There the way to go for music these days.
2 cents ...peace out...
Dave

Great ideas.
I have the same model and year too Love it.
Just recently I mounted a 13" lcd tv in place of the seating area light on the cabinets on the kitchen side of the trailer. Managed to run cable inside the wall but still have the dvd and power cables on the outside. I'm thinking of running it off the 12vdc as that's what it's power supply puts out but am worried that I might fry it if it can't handle the voltage range one gets when using batteries. The tv is mounted using one of the brackets designed for mounting tvs and is very secure. Negative is that it's only viewable from the seating area. Positive, I can remove it and put the light back in and not have any extra holes.
My trailer came with a stereo and dvd player built in, both dc. For music what I do is use my ipod and an fm transmitter which allows me to listen to it in the car when travelling and the trailer when parked, or use headphones when outside.
The antenna mentioned sounds like a good option, something I've been looking for too.
One thing to note, I had the manufacturer install a hot water heater last year, silly but I really missed hot water at my finger tips, at the same time they put in taps and upgraded the pump as they said the pump that just works the toilet wasn't powerfull enough for the taps too. Might be good enough for just cold water though, certainly would be better than that silly hand pump.
Cheers,
Steve
