It's all in how you hold the camera. I guess they don't know what is portrait mode is. Thanks

I’m very interested in the dimmer switch. We have a 2020 372RD and the ceiling lights throughout are too bright and I want dim them. Are these led ceiling puck lights dimmable? The switch looks like the perfect size and did you just take the old switch out and replace it with the dimmer switch? Thank you so much

The led lights in my 2020 294RL are dimmable with an led dimmer switch. I didn't do the livingroom ceiling lights. The switch is too big to replace the switches in the main panel(blue lighted switches).
For the other wall switches I removed the trim cover, removed the small rocker switch out of the housing, attached the dimmer switch power in and out, attached the ground in and out (was tucked inside of wall behind switches), reinstalled the switch holder and trim cover, then screwed the new switch thru the trim cover into the switch housing.

Looks good, I like the pressure tank. Welcome to the forum.

TV bracket in bedroom, 2020 MHC 294RL

The TV bracket I used was purchased on Amazon. The brand is Mounting Dream and the model number was MD2210.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have an Orion 24" TV on it. That was the largest TV I could put on the wall between the closet door and window valance. I can swing it to the rear to make it a bit more centered at the foot of the bed.

Additions look awesome. Just curious what size screws did you use for the bedroom TV mount? I'm installing one on my 2021 HC 331rl and can't find info on backer size.
Thank you

This mods look great, keep them coming, congrats on the new trailer.
We are in the process of buying the 294rl here in Canada, hopefully will be camping in one when spring comes around.

Everything you did looks real nice. The most important thing is that it's functional for you.

Every camper, (as does every home), has a natural flow to it. A hook works well right here, but over there it would be awkward. A shelf right here works good, but without it, there's just something missing. And those types of changes and modification don't unearth themselves until the camper has been used a few times.

So, I have a feeling, before it's all over, you'll have more modifications and changes. I think we all do. I thought all the changes in ours was finally done, until just a few weeks ago when I had a need to add a hook above the bed. It never ends.

Congrats on your purchase and thanks for sharing!

I’m afraid to ask but I’m going to.
What , pray tell, is the hook above the bed used for.
And if it has anything to do with , well, you know ,please, don’t answer me.

Well, OK, I'll share. I "carry". I wanted a hook above the bed so I can hang my magazine and ... um ... well ... firing device ... so it's in easy reach. I have them attached to a belt. It's not a holster, it's a belt and the "firing device" and magazines are in a carrying pouch attached to the belt. The wife doesn't like it under the pillows. We don't have kids with us either.

(personally, I like the smell of gun oil)....

Where did you get the material for the shelving in the pantry? We are thinking of doing the same mod.

The shelf boards were from Home Depot. The color was close but not exact.

All little boys love the smell of burnt gun powder.

Trim Color

Your trim looks to be Mystic Ash (grey..) What did you use to match that color?

We have a 294RL and it sounds like we need to hire you for some upgrades!!! Lol

Jk they all look great and I might do some of them as well. Who did your electrical work for the dimmers?

I did the dimmer install myself. The electrical was easy, tie into the ground wire is the only difference in wiring. The hole in the wall for the old switch is too big to be covered by the dimmer alone. You will have to use the wall plate for the old switch and be a little creative to mount the switch.

Can you post the info on the dimmer switch? If you did, I didn't find it.

You upgrades look really nice.
