We have made several modifications to our "Lil Lily" and haven't had any issues with our pod.
*Installed a 63" sewer hose carrier to the rear underside near the stabilizers.
*Installed a second battery box which we use to carry sewer hose attachments & gloves.
*Added two lights to the underside of the overhead cabinet by the dining area. We converted two desk lamps, shortened them and installed upside down. Creates some really nice ambiance.
*Installed a second shelf in both pantry cabinets.
*Switched out the OE tv wall mount with a tilt one.
We will be trying out our awning this weekend. If it turns out to be successful we will post pics and info.

D.K. Campers,

Where did you get your tilt mod?  We just got our 179 and I am looking for options.  Thanks.

Home depot. I think it was $59.00 very well made. I looked on line and a lot of other places. Many had a two part folding arm which will not work, this one is single arm perfect fit. It will move in any direction you want. I will get you name brand that info is in our pod.

The name and item # for CE TECK 3way tv mount 701762604733. For tvs size 17in-47in. It a heavy duty mount. The screws that came with it were to big, went to the hardware store and got shorter ones. We mounted it in the same place as the other one. We couldn't use all the same holes made new ones and it works like a charm.

The desk lamps were 110? Did you look for 12v lamps? How did you wire them in? These are all very good ideas. They answer many of my questions. Thanks.
