Have You Done Any Mods?

Shelf over the bed was first. My wife decided on a fishings/nautical theme so I used wall anchors and olive fishnet to make 2 triangular net hammocks over the sofa of our 189. High enough so they are out of the way. Great for storing things like afghans, a jacket, a pillow.

Second battery box got mounted on the hitch. Still trying to think of a good way to make them theft proof.

First, I've removed the Progressive Industries hardwired EMS from the old camper, that I'll be wiring in the new one. That's one thing that will give peace of mind. Next, I ordered a SoftStart for the AC, and will get that installed ASAP. Most of my camping will be without hookups, running on a 2200W generator, so the SoftStart will help a ton. 

My 100Ah AGM battery is coming with me. I also have a 100W flexible solar panel that I attached with velcro to the old camper roof. I'll likely do the same... or later on do a semi-permanent mount for that, or pick up a second one for 200W. I do need to get a charge controller I can permanently install. MPPT would be preferred. I'll maybe set up a switch so that the battery can be isolated from the converter. I'll want to check on the model of converter... the model used in my old camper doesn't have a very good 12V charger. I may want to 'upgrade' that bit, too. 

I think eventually I may want to move the battery to the rear storage. Possibly even go to lithium based batteries, with an inverter wired in.

  

A bird just broke the side window by the dinette, cant seem to figure out how to find a replacement, any suggestions?  Being held together with strapping tape on both sides of the window.
