We just finished the first camping weekend of the season. In Ontario, Canada we were in lockdown until Friday June 11th, so on Friday morning we were registering at Bon Echo Provincial Park.
I realized I haven't shared a number of new mods completed... We replaced the shelves by the door - gained about 4" of depth and removed the TV which we never use Gained lots of room for books and supplies that we need to grab quickly from the outside. Still need to add key hooks (apparently) |

Replaced the faucet and sink on our 2021 R-pod 196. I originally replaced the faucet and ended up cracking the cheap plastic sink while doing the install. So I ordered a stainless steel sink the same size as the plastic one and installed with a pop-up drain. Be sure to get a drain that fits in place of the old one. This one is 1 1/4" which fits the sink opening and drain connection.

Most of us, myself included, have purchased and installed the lift kit to gain elevation/height so that we don't continually bend the rear stabilizers on uneven terrain as well as gain a little more clearance between the tire and fender. It has also been quite beneficial when traveling on back roads where potholes are plentiful or in situations we have been in like going over roadways where the water may be 6 or 8" deep or deeper. If I hadn't installed the 3.5" lift kit there would have been a number of areas we could never have gotten to.

Hey Jack - Thanks! For the Kitchen shelf we used drywall fasteners and screwed into those PLUS command strips. Command strips have been our savior. The kitchen shelf works well because it is supported by shelf brackets. Similarly, we tried to use drywall fasteners for a shelf in the bedroom without shelf brackets or command strips and that did not hold as the fasteners aren't really screwing into anything. Beginners here!
Also - on the stud aspect, we bought a stud finder and it didn't really do us much good, kept getting tripped up by the R-Pod framing. Regardless, it would not have mattered after watching this construction video on how R-Pods are manufactured. Recommend scoping it out for context - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXNYA73rCNE Can find the shelf brackets on Amazon or Home Depot.
