For us, keeping it simple with our pod works best.  Not a lot of stuff to break and need repairs, not a lot of extra weight to drag around.  


I heartily concur!  Keeping it simple and lightweight. 

We go with:

- a nice campfire
- a good meal followed by toasting marshmallows on that fire
- reading in bed all snuggled up.

If I had to name three:

1. 10" memory foam mattress
2. IKEA futon in place of the 179 bench cushions
3. Built and installed large drawers for easier under-stove access.

Our next big mod is probably going to be converting the queen bed into twin beds.

My favorite mod that wasn't mentioned yet. Keyless entry!!! I chose the RVlock keyless and i never looked back. The best mod you could make. Freedom from worrying about carrying keys in your bathing suit etc.. Also Im a big fan of my EMS system. Peace of mind is comforting.

#1: Shelf above bed to hold CPAP machine and bins for clothing.
#2: 12V outlets (set with USB also) to power CPAP and charge phones.
#3: Larger stainless steel kitchen sink and pull-down faucet to replace tiny plastic sink that came with our 2016 RP179 and the cheap faucet that always seemed to drip (one of my wife's favorite mods).

Also,
Door window that opens (another of my wife's favorites).
Upgraded mattress.
Cutting board stove cover which gives an expanded, solid work surface.
Larger wardrobe drawers (another of my wife's favorites).
Fan to circulate heat from under the bed. I consider this also a safety mod.
Double steps
Larger sewer hose carrier and also ladder carrier beside it.
Stromberg-Carlson Trailer Tray to carry generator.
Others which can be seen in my mods.
