    Same here, wife and I think the only vacations were going to have are camping getaways. Kids cost too much to be able to fly anywhere. Considering getting a used pop-up.

    I never used this space for an opener but thought it would be a perfect spot for my gun range id badge.
    1- I removed the handle from a small plastic bucket I was throwing away and cut both ends off.
    2- then I drilled a small hole in one end of each piece
    3- removed one latch screw at a time and installed them

    It's perfect for any type of badge, card, etc.

    Lol! My friend lives up the street from Blairs' restaurant (Gimpys'). Used to go there regularly - it's gone now, and he would give us samples before it was in production.

    Ahhh guns and trucks. Uncle Mikes reflex for full size 1911. Nylon spacers added to separate the holster from the wall of the console. Top of the console closes just fine.

    I tapped power from the plug for the HVAC controls. Tapped into running light circuit so light comes on with dash lights.
