Oddly, our Oliver installed receptacle is ass-backwards from yours, so it didn't reach the wall. I need to get in there and reverse it so I can use this handy accessory. 3 ----- Steve - Northern Ohio, USA Wandering around on occasion, always lost. 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser - 2023 Oliver Elite II Twin Hull #1360 “Curiosity” Facebook - Instagram Camped in Curiosity = Green —— Visited with Curiosity = Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) I believe @topgun2 recommended this mod to me early on. Just inside the door has proven to be a super handy place to hang our keys.

This one works for us. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RN7Z2RT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I prefer a fridge thermometer like THIS one. Yes, it is more expensive than the one that Patriot shows but it has an alarm feature. I find that I become accustom to the read out being there and seldom even look at it. That being the case then I will only notice that there is something wrong either when I actually do look at the read out and/or get something out of the fridge that simply isn't as cold as it should be. With the thermometer I use it has an alarm feature that certainly lets me know if the temp in either the fridge or the freezer is above (or below) the limits that I've set.

Moderators topgun2 Posted June 13 Moderators Share Posted June 13 Thanks for the shout out on that key/shelf, but, it was actually Overland that first posted it on the Forum a few years ago. It really is a great shelf. Patriot put me on to applying a sheet of clear film below this shelf/key holder such that the keys do not leave marks.

Wanted the area behind for a bolster and pillow. These are out of the way of all movement and everything you need is right in front of you. Also wanted room for a book and must have a drink or water bottle. They have worked out great! The TV remote even stays put sitting on the shelf when towing.

jd1923 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) This shelf with magnet set for mounting came to about $95 total. We store it upside down in the attic (fits nicely) when watching TV and sleeping. Towing it can be on or off. Very well-made product, powder coat will not scratch easily.

The aluminum bar, also taped in place, keeps the shelf from sliding down the magnets. When locked firmly in place an abrupt snap of the outside edge will dismount the shelf for storage. Chris places a towel just under it to protect the bedding to the right. Could not cook a decent breakfast without it! 😂 Edited June 14 by jd1923 1 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

For those of us who use RUUVi, why not just mount one of these in the fridge? We put one in there when traveling, but when home it monitors my garage temp which is always too hot with southern exposure. Love the one placed above our Dometic thermostat since the dumb thing only shows set temp! (always set at 84 Auto when parked in the summer months.)

Just inside the door has proven to be a super handy place to hang our keys. You guys got me thinking about this. Nice little key rack but for me it was lacking some important criteria. I need a rack that I can reach while standing outside the door. We climb in and out too much already for older bodies! Also wanted a combo key & coat rack, with room for Charley's leash, my long shoehorn, a jacket or two and why not the flashlight! This product turned out great. Five hooks at 15" for just $17 and you can order them in various lengths. It has a flat back, so I ran 3M VHB 4950 the length of it. So strong. We had 3M Command hooks here and there, installed without much thinking to placement, so I just removed all of them.

Let dry overnight and put them back on. Another thing to try: In our previous SOB trailers I could often remove the yellowing on white plastic parts with black steak remover spray.

jd1923 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) I have 3 weeks off and besides maintaining the home front, I'm spending half of my time on the Oliver, and 3 times a week some pickleball diversion! The main mods are improving furnace ducts, an oven to replace the microwave, an ATS for future running the A/C off inverter and what else... renewing the entry steps, but for now it's just a simple mod for less than $20! I really needed one for the bathroom, but glad to have purchased set of two. I looked and measured and could not think of another bathroom location. BTW, this fits nicely allowing a 1" clearance for the bathroom cabinet door. Then it made sense to add one at the kitchen sink! What do y'all think? I know Chris will love this when she returns home later this week! And it's not easy to mount the adhesive mounts squarely.

rich.dev Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I saw this mod a couple month or so ago somewhere on this forum, or maybe an Oliver Facebook post. It is to avoid critters chewing up the propane hoses.
