Thumbs up

Cari & I picked up the Bose Soundlink (full sized one) a couple years ago. The mini and full size sound great...we use ours almost every day somewhere in the rigs.

...and for Holiday sales... Dang, we just HAD to add to our vaporizer collection!
Got a new underdog madrone (type of wood) for aromatherapy and vaping our dry herbs (Pepermint, lavender, chamomile,...).



Our rig smells soooo good inside. Our little rolling castle.

Check your available cabinets space / sizes; that is a pretty big unit for a smaller rig. Newer units have Bluetooth capabilities; nice to have wireless speakers - we have a Sony portable speaker we can listen to outside the camper (up to about 30 ft.)

With a DIN-1 form factor you can get a paintable under-cabinet mount that works well.

Nope, I went with an Alpine unit for the additional Bluetooth and Sirius XM features.

It's mounted at an angle so I can use a remote from both outside the entry door and when lying in bed. I use an audio out jack from the TV to the input of the Alpine to play the TV sound over the stereo speakers

Amazon.com : Alpine CDESXM145BT Advanced Bluetooth CD / SiriusXM Receiver : Car Electronics

Junk yard find!

I went to one of those u pull type junk yards in my area on the off chance of finding a rigid spare tire cover. As luck would have it I came across a black Suziki Grand Vitara cover. It's 27 inch diameter is a pretty good fit for my 26 inch spare. Since the vinyl was quite torn and the shell was cracked in 2 places the yard let me have it for free.
After some internal epoxy and glass rework, sanding, and heat gun to remove the decals it was looking pretty good. A simple paint job, added edge trim, and bonding my old vinyl to the inside I was ready to go!
It's not perfect but I still like it better than what I had.

In any case, out of curiosity, what is your favorite modification that you have done?
Ohmygoodness! After well over a hundred mods, I'm still thinking up stuff to do... but, I do admit that the creative juices have dried up to a trickle!

And, my 'favorite' is the last one I used... probably the same as everybody else!

Good work, Sid!
