Hello podders.
I am marwayne. I was asked if I would post some pics of my mods (renos) on our 2011 RP 172, so here are some of them.

I think these are more than mods.  You are an amazing and resourceful designer.  I'm with sfish - FR should pay you to design for them!  These "mods" are awesome!  Thank you for sharing with us.

The front box is made out of 1/2" birch plywood and boulted to the A frame,coverd with decking material.It holds propane bottle 2 batteries, small toolbox and rdome without poles.
Back box is made out of 1/2" birch plywood,coverd with decking materiel. I exstanded the outer rails and the sparetire hitch, boulted box to the exst. Then I fitted a spacer between the trailer and the box and boulted them together. In the box are 2000 watt honda gen. inv. 81/2' inflateble boat, webber BB, 2 horse honda outboard motor, 5# propane bottle, 2-5 litre containers of gas and a few other little things.
