IMHO the valances could be replaced with a small shelf unit (w/edges) made from a light weight wood which could also include a rod underneath to facilitate a curtain. If not to elaborate, this "shelf - curtain rod" combo could be used on most of the windows. Using the existing valance screw holes may be an option if the shelf-rod isnt to large or heavy. I am sort of leary about screwing in things on the walls of the r-Pod. But with some investigation, making new holes could be an option.
David and Danette have this Window Mod in the old "Mod:No Comments" thread. Check it out !!!

Hi all-
Thanks for the kind words about our mods. It's really fun to think of ways to make the pod your home-away-from-home.
No- the stove cover is not from Camping World- sorry, I should have included it in the info. I got it from PPL Motor Homes on line- I also think I referred to it as Dometic- it is actually Suburban brand. It comes in Black, White or Stainless- obviously we got the black. They were great to work with- the first one they sent was slightly dented, so they sent a replacement and didn't even want the first one sent back! I spoke to them before I ordered and they checked to make sure it is specifically made for our model of 2 burner drop-in cooktops. A bit pricey at over $40, but definitely gives it a professional look. My honest opinion is that with so little counter space, FR should just include it with the rpod.
Here is the link: http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-stoves/suburban-dropin-cover.htm
Forget the picture of the "slide-in" cooktop at the top of the page. That is obviously not ours and made it a bit confusing which is why I called them to confirm. The picture of the cover IS for our unit.

Hmmm- that lead to about a 5 minute discussion until John just went out with a magnet and it stuck, thus ruling out my guess that it is aluminum. The magnet test revealed it to be steel with a hard plastic edge in front that forms the lift "handle". Sorry I can't be more specific!

I too have the burner cover and really like it. I did not attach it to the countertop. We took of the hinge and modified it a bit ( We--my husband) so that it would sit level. The only reason that I did not want to attach it to the counter was that I did not want to lose access to the small space behind the stove when I cook. I put things that I may need back there. If anyone wants to know what the modification is, I will ask Craig when (if) he gets home from work. Can't get into the pod right now as we are getting 2 to 3 feet of snow right now.

I REALLY like the tv on the microwave wall and that you can take it down when you put the slide in. I also have a 174 and the tv just isn't in the right place when you're using the dinette for a bed. Did you just leave the original tv in there? I think I would. I think that mod is on my list. I had already gotten the sink cover from CW and love it. I've just been putting a cutting board on the stove when I need more counter space. The table legs are an issue with me. I would just as soon leave the table down as fight with it to put the legs down or up. I wish I could attach the table to the wall with one of those swing arm thingies like you sometimes see in the newer rv's. NO legs would be great for me.

I believe we are removing the small TV unit that came w/Astro due to the fact that we are going to remove the cabinet above the bed. Not sure what we'll do with it.
We got a Sat-Go TV & we hope with the sink cover and the burner cover there will be sufficent area to set the TV. This is all speculation due to the fact that we don't have access to Astro.
The Mount is an excellent Idea !!! Good to see pics of it being successful !!!
The table that came with the Pods, I believe, is to heavy to work it off a hinge, as opposed to operating it with the Legs it comes with.
A lighter table would be advised. I believe that someone has done that kind of mod. You'd have to search the posts for "table Mod" or something like that. If I find the thread I'll post it.

That table really is a mother, but I don't think you could go with something lighter if using it as a queen bed support. Visions of both of us falling through the bed, butts on floor at 3am is FAR from a pretty sight
We did choose to leave the entertainment cabinet and small TV where it was. I know some have found they hit their head on it, but it never bothered me. I actually use it as a "night stand" for easy access to items like chap stick, asthma inhaler, and even the remote control- since I sleep against the wall and can't reach the pouches (which lose smaller items anyway). We also didn't want to deal with covering holes after taking it down, and John thought the (dare I say it!) resale value would hold better with it where it is.....not that we have ANY plans to ever sell it, but it never hurts to plan ahead!
Ted- if you are planning to place a receiver in your kitchen area- the slide makes a wonderful pass-through for a cable from the satellite. That is how we get the cable in to our new TV so we don't have to run a line all the way from the jack in the entertainment cabinet.
