That way the remote conrols for the&nbsp;Blu-Ray, TV, and roof vent will be organized and easy to find.&nbsp; <br><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><img border="0" hspace="0" alt="" align="baseline" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqsh6elpfO1qz8pxz.jpg"></p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="left">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="left">The best part is all you have to do is add another metal bracket in a different location to give the remote an alternate "home"....&nbsp; (When working on the van, sometimes I want the roof remote near the side doors.&nbsp; When sleeping, it's convenient to keep it by the bed).</p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="left">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="left">I just thought I'd pass this along in case someone else might benefit from the tip.&nbsp; Have a good one!&nbsp; </p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><br>V.T,</p>

<P>The magnets don't screw with the remote ? <IMG src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P>

<p>It doesn't seem to cause any problems with the remotes.&nbsp; Now if you waved the magnets back and forth over the case, it might induce a little current and disrupt things.&nbsp; Glueing them to the case doesn't seem to bother them a bit.</p>

Still --- great Idea <IMG src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/idea.gif" align=absMiddle border=0><br><br>That might not work for me - my luck - I'd walk out in the morning to pee - with it stuck to the plate in my head <IMG src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif" align=absMiddle border=0><br>
