Pantry lighting with magnetic proximity switch. Comes on when door opens, shuts off when door closes.

I like it, Don.

Now is it one item or one per shelf? Are those doggy cookies on the third shelf? I like those!

I like your stop stuff from falling out when you open the door bars, they look alot like mine and they were a mod under $10.

It is one LED light strip down the right side from ceiling to floor. Just use the power from the existing (now removed) light in there. I use these switches:
http://www.amazon.com/Directed-Elect...ilpage_o05_s00
I have one on the control panel door as well that backlights the panel when the door is opened.

I am putting them on all cabinet doors and bedroom closets.

And yes, they are doggie cookies. Our camper doesn't leave the driveway without Bristol and Dover along for the trip.

Bristol and Dover! Gee I wonder where those names come from.

Got to look after the kids. It's a rare day when the truck leaves the driveway without the dogs aren't co-piloting.

You got it. Sadly, Tally (Talladega) passed on a few years ago

I know that feeling, Decker left for the Rainbow Bridge 6 years ago, to be with my youngest grandson. She was a very special girl and I credit her for saving my life. We rescued her from a life of over-breeding and she was constantly at my side.

Harley is laying at my feet right now, she's 14 1/2 years old. She is getting ready to be head off to the Rainbow Bridge.

I got to move his butt out of the driver's seat... he doesn't have a license to drive.

My girl used to ride the ATV sitting on the front of the seat and front paws on the bars. She hard a great sense of balance and knew exactly when and which way to lean. She would get quite upset when I made her get into the box on the back rack.

He would probably drive better than some I have seen on the roads.

First Day of really getting busy.

14 wet bolts, 3 shackle sets, 6 spring bushings, 3 hubs with bearings and seals, 3 rotors and 3 calipers installed on 1/2 of the rig. That was pretty much a full day of work.

Maybe a day, but can't imagine the cost if you paid to have it done. Nice upgrade. Test ride yet?

More Pantry lighting

Got what was intended by Dutchmen to be the washer and dryer area, but is now storage all lit up today for the DW. Same proximity switch to turn them on when the door is opened and off when closed.

Spacerts throughout

Received the new AC vents today and installed them. Had these on my last camper and I like the adjustability.

I bought a single vent from local dealer to try out in the vent I added in the LR...wow, that sucker puts out air...thinking of adding to the rest of the vent holes. Did you have to enlarge any holes? The one I added is very tight, because it is exactly 4 inches.
