RV Clock Mount Adapter

thingiverse

My Itasca RV came with a Howard Miller brand analog clock installed above the door, as shown in the third picture. To replace the battery, you need to remove the clock by rotating it 45 degrees counterclockwise and then pulling it from the wall. The wall mount stays screwed to the valance over the RV door. Check out the second picture. I wanted to upgrade to a SkyScan atomic clock that provides me with more information and doesn't require resetting the time twice per year due to daylight saving time. I didn't want to drill more holes in my RV, so I created an adapter. This adapter allows the SkyScan clock to use the existing wall mount. It attaches to the SkyScan clock's 20 cm on center mounting holes with two small machine screws and nuts. Check out the first picture. This mount fits perfectly with just the right amount of friction to keep it in place. One advantage: When you decide to sell your motorhome, you can put the old analog clock back up without any sign that there was another clock in its place. One disadvantage: You'll need to loosen the machine screws and swing the adapter out of the way when the batteries need replacing. Update 08/01/2019: I've rotated the adapter 45 degrees so it's correctly oriented for a 220 mm x 220 mm bed.
