Maybe just a rubber band over the roll during travel.

Yeah! Excellent...and I shoulda thought of that. (I'm too focused on insulation right now, I guess )

Great idea Mr. Hawk.I have a few low cost mods also I'll have to get some photos posted.There are so many things we can personalize/mod our campers at little or no cost
.It's fun to share and a learning experience.

This looks good, and I may try it. I wonder if the roll will stay rolled under bumpy conditions...
In your T-day jaunt perhaps you could find some really nice washboard and see how it holds up to high-amp vibration...maybe the north-entrance Saline Valley road?

Maybe just squash the cardboard tube so it isn't cylindrical, then unsquash it in camp. And, I like both towel holder mods, too.

Another cheap easy mod - a gear hammock:

I just hang it from the ends of the wood crosspieces in the ceiling, so it is above the dinette area. It's a good place to stow jackets, etc. Might get in the way of a really tall person, though.

Nice! My OEM 'stat often has issues with the copper contact switch inside. I've had to fix it at least twice. The first time I was in the middle of NV on a cold night too. Not too much fun when your GF is freezing cold and you are sitting there reading the manuals to deliver some heat

We've had programmable stats for houses for about thirty years now, so why not in our campers?
And $20 seems like a pretty cheap deal too!

I thought most of those thermostats were AC powered? I need to pick one of those units up, nice improvement.

I think I have to same one in mine, have you noticed under 30deg or so it just shows "Lo" and won't initial heat when switched, on? Mine does that and it can be annoying, I'll pull it off and stick it in my jacket for a moment warm it back up when that happens. I've been thinking a bypass switch wouldn't be a bad idea to first fire it up when its that cold.

OK, who has one of these?? The Coca-Cola name is just a cover-up for the cops.
