Paper Towel Dispenser and Cutting Board. We also have a collapsible dish drying rack which fits nicely under the sink with other dish washing materials.


Toilet paper roll under the sink which can be tucked up when showering to keep dry.


Soap tray. Double stick tape with pvc tube support. Will mount permanently once we know this fits our needs.


Several storage bins fitted for under benches.


Battery shut off and moved the spare tire to the front of the hitch...


...to allow my Bike Rack to be mounted on the back.


We thought the storage area over the microwave would make a good place for a bar, but realized the height was too small for most bottles. So we created our own carafes using canning bottles.


Remotes stay handy and out of the way with Velcro. Also added a second piece of Velcro near the bed for nighttime TV watching.


Removed screws from seat ends and replaced with Velcro.


This is a clock with internal/external temperature and voltmeter. Mounted near the bed a little lower than I wanted, but got access to 12v power and was able to mount the external temp sensor without drilling a hole.

That's most of the major stuff. Thanks again for good guidance.

Completed all the mods on my list today. This should be it for a while, until we do some camping and find things we need. I'll post the list and some photo's soon.

Thanks to all for suggestions, guidance and links.

Thanks for all the mod ideas.  I really like the shower rod idea to hang damp towels.  Right now we are using 3MM hooks that we put on outside of bathroom door.  Looks tacky and a nuisance because we're constantly bumping and knocking towels to floor.  We will install a rod before our next outing!

I have 2015 179 with bottom drawer in fridge.  I took the spacers out and find its more convenient for storage that way.

That bit goes into a slot on the the largest of the door shelves in the fridge. It keeps things from moving around too much.  We bought ours used and I almost threw it away, but took a good look at it and figured it could be a fridge part. I can send a pic of you need it. It's too late right now, but tomorrow......

My 2010 had a bottom drawer, with the 3-part divider mentioned above.

Another improvement!  In a few years when we're ready to trade in, that's something I'll be looking for!
