NS,
The gray was part of one of packages, just not sure which one. Because I like gray/pewter/silver for all my vehicles, this was a no brainer...

Kenny,
Yesterday I was a mess waiting to pick her up. Once we were back home, it was a blast walking thru it and trying out everything over and over...

Last night was just a blur with the PDI and getting home. Tonight will really be the first time looking her over. And now comes the shopping/mod'ing list (in no order...).

Progressive hardwire surge protector
Rhino 15' sewer hose
Underbelly 6" PVC sewer hose storage
Bal X wheel chock (pair)
Fantastic Fan cover (3 of them)
TV and mount
Lego pads (10 pack)
90 degree 30amp adapter
Locking 30amp to 15amp adapter
50ft white hose (15ft is too short)
Silverware drawer
Heater vent/duct redo (NS example)
Magnetic door stops (bathroom door)
Underbed storage drawers or doors (DW needs to decide)
Second battery (and possible small solar for trickle charge)
Take down the enclosed underbelly and look at wiring/cable ties/etc..)
Need to look over the forum for other GREAT ideas as well as just camping in it to see what else we can do...

A few things I did notice last night was that all the interior lights were already LED. Forest River has been listening to the suggestions on the forum... Also, the battery tray is ready for a second battery. I don't remember that at the show.

As I find time to preform all this work, I will ensure I share pictures. I don't anyone flaming me for not sharing...

All gray / silver guys unite! Even my hair is gray. Nice TH Steve! Don't forget the indirect LED lighting with remote over the slide. I use it all the time... Enough light without being overbearing.

WW,
I missed this mod. I like it (as well as all the other WONDERFUL ones you have shared...).
I need to win the lottery so I don't have to work and can be with the TH instead.

Been spending a couple of hours each night this week walking thru the TH and "learning" how things work. Have a pretty good handle on things and will be taking it the next two weekends to local state parks for some shake downs.

Looking forward to having some time to do all the mod's and some more shopping (still need to get the Fantastic Fan covers...). But at this point, I could not be more happy.

Have a great/safe Memorial Weekend everyone...

Been "offline" for a bit and will need to continue to be "offline" a bit longer.... Have been very busy with work and family items that are preventing me doing things with the camper. I did get out last weekend for a quick local state park to do my "shake down". Very happy to report EVERYTHING worked as designed. Already told BulletBob to give the guys on the line a big "good job"...

I was able to do some minor mods before taking the TH out for the first trip (mainly the surge protector...). I have others lined up before I go back out in a few weeks. I promise I will update the "what have you done..." thread with pictures....

Hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy their campers...
