Oh no.... I have no next mod to do

Done the water drains, by-pass and facuet, added 120 power to the rear bay, added an ice machine, installed XM, did the dinette table delete, added the second rear camera, safe, upper bunk kid proof roll out guard, mouse proofed and the grill swap. What have I missed?

Love this thing.....

I on the other hand have all kinds of things to do but will have to wait until I have time. I've got a lot of parts just no time to do it

Push the awning button and put a piece of pipe foam on the frame to keep the door from slapping the awning pole when it is left to open on its own. What R the poles for?

forgot to mention the "Big Foot" control box cover.....

I am in the same situation. But, my old Flagstaff is strictly stock.

Reposition the strut anchors on the door and eliminate that problem.
Poles are used so you don't have to roll the awning in every time a breeze comes up or it rains or you leave the campground.

Nahhh I know how *you* operate. We have nice retention pins on our bumper plugs because I walked by and kicked 'em back in while someone was just sitting down for a smoke break and saw me do it.

I know where your "old Flagstaff" sits, and I know it's right in your line of vision while you're sitting at "control central" in your shop.

You'll sit there and eyeball it 'til ya come up with a new idea.

Nope poles were done long time ago. Awning lock, more leds outside, wire garage to have 30 amp outlet, added woodwork for some additional dress up, working on a nautical theme for the inside need to hang my ships wheel, have to change my grills hose so it can hook up to the trailer. Change is good

We have the "U" shaped dinette and decided to leave the haevy table at home. We use an adjustable height folding table harvested from Wally world. It stows behind the driver seat. We use the camping world folding foot rest on the curvy couch most of the time when we are veiwing the tv. For the rare occasions when we do need the bed space I made a light weight platform the same size as the origianl table suported with a short PVC leg. Thismpeice stows flat against the wall of the passenger side tail light...

As the 2300 does not come with an outside table a 48 "x 24" folding table (stows 24x24) fits nicely in the floor of the passanger side rear bay.

I've asked purchasing to find me a 60" folding table. Ou current 24"x48" table does not fit on all floor plans. I figure a 60" or even a 48" half folding would fit in every model.

As each model is different I understand that not everything is universal. But my hat is off to design as the 24 x24 table fits great. Also I swaped for a smaller grill (about a loss of 25 sq in from the grill in the FR package) so it will fit in the water filter bay along with a big lasco carpet drying style fan (curve of the fan leaves 2" clearence to the air bag fitting). By the way I made a storage board for the grill that will fit on to the original grill stand, and this storage board fits with 1/2" clearence (on the narrow length) within the bay, and the grill stand fits nice against the passenger taillight wall. If it was planned out that way I own somebody in design a frothy drink of choice....

I will mention as I have before, when the weather turns and we head to the coast for the winter holidays the fan comes out and oil heater goes in the same spot in the bay....

Life is good....

I think FR could sell many of the items I have sought out at a premium as the customer would have comfort in the fact that the items would fit....

Next project is to find a way/place to hang my 6 new self retracting ratchet straps in the basement ceiling and clean out all the other ratchet straps, junk.

Coach couch

Would love to find someone/where to remove the U dinette and replace it with a a couch that had two recliners internally. This would require a floor covering change, and DW would not like to give up the seat storage... but if it was done "factory grade" DW would buy in...

May have to trade up.....

Everyone has done the seat storage mod right? adding a top access door for the area behind the drawer.
