My second project on lay off is working on the MH.
With the older MH there is a old tube type tv that sets in between the driver and passenger seats.
Well, we don’t have ( cable ) / watch tv at home except maybe a dvd once a week, so I removed the tv.
Back in the nice hole where the tv was is a cigarette lighter port and a electrical outlet. For the longest time I have been trying to figure what I wanted to do with that area.
I happen to have a of 3/4 plywood that is nice and smooth. I made a template out of card board and came up with this. Sorry the pic is sideways, I took it with my I pad and forgot I don’t have to hold it landscape.
The top panel is a volt meter with a cigarette adapter on the left and 2 USB ports on the right. One of the switches will before a set of driving / fog lights that I need to install and another will be for a light on the back of the MH for night backing.
I took the plate off of my radio for a cb template, there the same size.
Then my iPhone underneath. I was going to put a mount for my I pad on top but with it just sitting up there I had a little visual blockage looking out toward the passenger side windshield. Depending on how big the screen for the back up monitor is I may put that on top of the box and my I pad over on my left side.
The passenger side will just have a storage compartment for DW’s I pad, and then mount new cup holders.
I need to make the box removable to allow access to the doghouse if I ever I need to. This is just a rough idea, I may change it before I start building.
