Added risers.
Added front stabilizers. Removed 2 burner stove and replaced with cutting board. Added wire racks behind stove for additional shelves. Added 6" in height to lower bunk for additional storage. Removed upper bunk and added shelves in its place...this gave us a place to sit and a place to put our plastic containers for clothes, etc. towards the back of the lower bunk. Added molding to top of refrigerator to keep items from sliding off during travel. Added paper towel holder. Added toilet paper holder. Added mirror next to bath door. Added tension rod in wet bath to hang wet towels. Replaced cloth shower curtain with plastic and cut to fit. Added numerous 3M hooks....love those things. Added over the door hooks to bath door. Replaced blinds with curtains. Added memory foam to the queen bed. Future plans/wish list: Cut off switch for battery. 7' Sewer hose holder. Trim dinette storage compartment lid so it can be opened without removing cushions Move the switch for the water heater's electric element inside. Replace fan cover with a clear cover. Split lower bunk storage area into 2 separate compartments and separate plywood access covers for easy access to most used items in front. Replace bunk mattress with something else...still working on that...maybe 2 separate foam cushions or padded lids. Replace table legs with single post and tripod stand. |

5. Cut a finger hole in the lid for the storage compartment under the seat of the dinette.
6. Added a portable 2 step enterance step for the trailer.

Wow! Some of you folks have done SO many things!
We have: -replaced the mattress with a 9" foam from Bed-In-A-Box - ahhhhh -lots of throw pillows to make bed look more like day bed (not really a "mod", but changes the look) -a bath safety bar on the wall of BR (to make it easier to get up off the toi toi!) -an indoor/outdoor thermometer (so when it's COLD, we'll know just HOW cold!) -mag-lite flashlight mounted just above the fire extinguisher just inside the door -hinge thingy to the dinette seat lid to hold it open (will be doing the same for the over the sink cabinet) -track installed on floor under dinette seat to keep storage bins from moving -moved table legs so table fits against wall (seems to be the #1 mod!) May be adding a Watts Premier RV water filtration unit under sink. (Panel can be moved back after install, giving a bit more room under the sink) Am going to try 3M picture hangers on the dinette back cushions to keep them against the wall. |

We haven't got real crazy yet, and our time is limited with other things in our life that we luv to do,
but since the purchase in October, we had done the following: (177) table mod under bed support mod for access to WH and FURN what we plan to do: Dual battery mod storage mods (cabinets and baskets) TV mod (already have the Sat-Go) removing cabinet above Bed that's it for spring, and hopefully we're being realistic. We Luv all the mods that everyone is doing and have posted. Due to the fact that we are very busy people, I believe we'll keep the mods down to a do-able pace. |
