Since the pics I had on my old thread were both way behind and not longer working I decided to make a new thread with the mods and updates I've done to it over our year of ownership so far.................There's a lot here.
First mod I did was add the vent cover over the bathroom vent. El cheapo Chinese fan motor quit after 6 trips. Installed a new one to finish the year, added a fantastic fan and fantastic vent cover over the winter. Moisture from showers is a non issue now!
Added a Progressive EMS surge protector. Trailer was only ordered 30A. Big mistake. Bought another 50A progressive unit, and converted trailer to 50A with second 15K ac in garage. Much better cooling now!

Factory license plate location is stupid. Hangs way too low, drug it on the ground first trip out. Cut tabs off light assembly, installed a new red lends intended for the right side (no clear on bottom for plate light), trimmed the top corners of the plate to fit it between the hinges and bolted it on. I'm still not satisfied with the plate light, it throws a ton of light, but most of it goes everywhere but on the plate.

Added a master switch in the battery box. no more dead battery after it sits 2 weeks without being plugged in.

The spare tire, like the plate mount hangs too low and I drug it on the ground when one of its "guards" folded under the weight of the trailer going through a dip. When I took it down, I found that the tire only tightens up against one crossmember and the winch shaft. Guess it really was an afterthought. I don't have a fuel cell, so I made a new bracket for the spare tire winch in that location. Have to crawl under the trailer to lower it, but we'll call that theft deterrent.

Added a second sewer hose tube back between the spare tire and sewer outlet. Used a D&W super slider extendable tube that can be fit to any frame width. Not a glamorous job but a great product! Now I have my 15 foot rhino hose in there along with adapters, and the 10 foot extension in the factory hose tube.

While I was there I noticed that there were L brackets welded to the frame to bolt the bottoms of the steps to the frame, and there were predrilled holes in the steps, but not in the frame. Drilled the holes and added 2 bolts. Steps are now much more solid.
