Add 100 sqft to the Tab. The Paha Que Screen Room is the answer for dry shady bug free camping. It has and does everything. From a tent with three solid panels, to a screen room with a solid floor, or just the top to keep the sun off. We love it! Click photo to enlarge. Read Full Story
Well I have found the battery or batteries for my needs. Since I added the new tongue box, I found an easy way to fill it. I use to have an LP bottle and a 12v battery. Now it holds two 6v batteries and an LP bottle. The Lp tank is now fiberglass and 1/3 the weight of the metal tank, and I can see the continence. The two Trojan # 105, 6v deep cycle batteries are connected in series to make 12v. They are each 225 amp/hr units that = 450 amp/hrs. Plenty of power to go primitive. In the pic... Read Full Story
These can barely be called mods. It's more like adding or switching out. In the top pic is the added porch light. My Taxitab didn't come with one, and I didn't like the plastic ones the RV stores offer, so I purchased a 1972 Chevy pickup Cargo light. It's made of pot metal, or zinc metal.

Here I added an extra shelf for odds and ends. It's 12"wide x 3/4"thick white pine, with oak galley rail and end mounting cleats.

We got rid of the heavy table that came with the Tab It was about 25 lbs. Now we use two lite tray tables, held in place with a nylon strap. Note in the photo the black battery minder. It with the push of a button, tells me how the charging system is doing. Under the light is a motion alarm siren. Under the green rug at the bottom of photo is the porta potty. Read Full Story
The closet used to have a one piece door. I sliced it at the top, and lowered the top shelf, and made a fascia divider between the top cupboard and the lower door,out of a middle cupboard door from the rear of the Tab.[replacing with sliders] Next was to install two shelves made of 1/8" dry erase board trimmed with 3/4" oak dowel ripped down the center and glued to the edges of the board. They are adjustable light weight, and can hold 50 lbs easy. Read Full Story
