What did you do to your SMB today?

Now there's one I need to look into. The drivers seat in the GMC needs replacing.

They seem to know their stuff and have new foam for sale too.

Painted the inside of my fiberine roof, finally!

Lot of major electrical under my goucho, and have wanted to install some sort of fire protection - the Blaze Cut Fire Suppression System came up in a discussion last year some time, and I found the concept interesting.
Ordered one a couple weeks ago and installed under the bench this morning - Purchased the 6ft model & ran it past my Dual Amps, next to the panel with all the fuses, across the top of both the Espar & Inverter, and finished up just above the breaker box.
These have a 10yr life expectancy, and a small gauge at one end which displays the charge status (just like a fire extinguisher).
***Hopefully I'll never have to produce a follow-up on its effectiveness!

We all need more storage, right? And shoes, what do you do with them? Well, the replacement of the SMB top with the Colorado CamperVan top gave us 5 additional inches of height under the penthouse bed. This allows the new space above the cabinets to perfectly fit 5 plastic shoeboxes for my spouses shoes, as well as other miscellany. Unfortunately, my feet are too big for these to fit my shoes...

Also fixed the persistent rattle of the outside cable TV input cover by putting a screw through the door to hold it closed permanently. We've never connected to cable TV and never expect to, so this should be the end of that particular rattle. While I was working in that area I also swapped the outdoor 12v outlet with one of the indoor ones. The outdoor outlet cover never stayed closed, resulting in water and dust accumulating inside. I couldn't find the same size outlet online so swapping one of the indoor outlets was a good second best solution.

Bardo, that's a good use of space above the cabinets. Perhaps a matching white cabinet built with an overhang would be a little more convenient? You could either put doors on the front or leave it with easy access openings?

Yes definitely hope you travel fire-free but like yourself I found the concept fascinating. The product itself seems well designed and will fit in smaller spaces which is where they'd be most effective. The gauge is helpful too---they can be equipped with a switch triggering a signal light or buzzer if the system is deployed.

I've toyed with the idea installing one under the hood in the engine bay---I don't have a lot of confined electrical areas so that'd be my choice of where to install such a system.

Any chance that you could show us what it looks like installed? Thanks!

I considered the one with the switch, but seemed somewhat redundant - If I had a fire and this system deployed as intended, I know the lingering odor of the fire & burnt plastic would be obvious. Also figured my smoke detector would probably go off before this system would activated by fire - so I passed.

Initially planed to mount the tube to the bottom of the bench seat, but quickly realized I'd probably scrape it off at some point in setting up the bed, or I'd inadvertently rest the bed & tube on the gaucho frame and rupture the tube. As is, it runs across or beside potential problem areas - tube itself is very stiff so it doesn't bend easily.
