You guys are absolutely incredible! From your original props, cars, semi trailer, episode commentaries and all of the behind the scene stuff, you guys have given me and everyone else more reasons to fall in love with this show over and over again. The mere fact that there was a possibility of a season 5 makes my heart ache knowing now what could have been. I’m so honored to pay the top tier every month to your Patreon and your mission to continue to give us the very best at what you do! As always, I will continue to be on pins and needles and chomping at the bits in anticipation to what you are gonna show us Knight Rider fans and loyalist what you have up next!

That hole in the deck may very well have been the winch mount and the wall was for pulleys to the overhead as the winch welded to a steel plate and mounted through the deck with another steel plate below the deck would be the strongest winch mount location and the FX guys would have over engineered any components vital to keeping production on schedule

I bet the hole in the floor was for a table. It's long been a common thing for RVs to have a chromed, die cast socket that sets into a hole in the floor, with a round, square, or rectangular flange that screws down. The table is supported on a thin wall, steel tube that's slightly tapered on the ends. The socket on the underside of the table is also a die casting that screws to the surface.

When they make alterations to Props and Set pieces, it's called 'Scenic-ing' for example, you might have a bag with a shiny buckle - and you can imagine that is going to light up like the sun under the bright Studio lights. So they would have the Buckle dulled to look tarnished somehow and thus 'Scenic-ed' , or, what I would called 'Relic'ed' as it concerns to Vintage Guitars.

The original lights was incandescent type that are prone to burning out. In order so you, or others, don't have to replace the lights after the restore is competed. I strongly recommend a buck/boost DC-DC converter set to 12v. This will prevent over-driving the lights with 13.6v to 14v, the common cause of them burning out within a year of normal use. The converter can easily be hidden in the walls or other hidey hole.
