I also completed this mod today. Even dimmed, the screen gave off light at night, and we had taped a piece of card stock over the screen. Now with the cutoff switch, no more light and no more battery drain!
“Good wood” version now built. Next step is to test stain the wood with the natural stain/polyurethane to see how closely it matches the nuCamp version, and if all looks good, finish off the construction. Then I’ll run the power cord up from under the white shelf. Last steps will be mount the shelf to the wall using the studs behind the TV, mount the TV to the box, and plug everything in.
@Michigan_Mike We stayed at 6 Harvest Hosts during 2020, our first membership year. We enjoyed all of our stays and look forward to new experiences this season. It has to be noted that not all hosts are wineries and there is an expanded subscription, that we do not have, that adds golf courses. We stayed at 3 wineries, a municipal tourist office, a lavender farm, and a large orchard/farm store. We have yet to experience a museum as a host.
HH makes it clear that as a guest you are expected to patronize your host. Buy some wine, etc. Stays are normally one night. You are boondocking, think Walmart or Cracker Barrel. No hookups in a field or parking lot.
While in Michigan we stopped at Mackinaw Trail Winery Vineyard & Orchard near Traverse City.
Our "campsite". The setting was some what similar at each winery.
This was a large facility that allowed up to 6 visitors. Our evening view.
We had a flight of wine at the shop and returned to the campsite for a casual meal.
Our campsite at the the Pontiac IL tourist office. This was a fun stop which included visiting the local Route 66 museum and a wonderful fried chicken dinner from a local Italian restaurant recommend by the office and several passing locals.
Loess Hills Lavender Farm, Iowa. We purchased a variety of lavender based items as gifts for friends.
@fstop32 Rescue Tape! That stuff is magic. Forget anything like Flex seal. I used this stuff to seal my wheel wells from water intrusion (an issue with the Retro, not the T@B).
I do keep Flex Seal tape in the camper to cover places where I see some of the silicone seals parting when I'm out camping. Don't you always see the issues while out on the road?? I think the trick to using Flex Seal on minor things is to squish the edges to prevent dirt and water from getting under the tape until a permanent fix can be done later (Omgosh, a Flex Seal lesson! Monster WaterProof tape is the same, btw).
