TV cabinet (removing the black wall) installing shelves, moving the 3 switches in front of the TV cabinet to inside the cabinet. Remote control awning, LED awning lighting, Screen for the rear door, ramp to make loading the bike easier,, I'll be scouring the topics here and I'll post a bunch as I do them

I'm curious to why are you moving the 3 switches to inside the cabinet. Feel free to post before & after pics.

No need to have the switches in front of the cabinet, if it's opened up and the TV mount moved inside. Might as well have the connections inside behind the TV

Thanks; we originally looked at the 19rr and moved to looking at the 21RR before deciding on the 25RR. Pick it up on Saturday and will start the modifications over the winter

Nice post Pic..when you can

Here are 3 pics of our new 25RR picked up today. Only 3 pics of the outside so far as it was damm cold at minus 16 with a wind chill of minus 21

We'll be removing one of the sofas and installing a storage bench, remaking the table so the top is removable and foldable, knocking out the current TV mount and replacing it with a mount inside the cabinet, putting a cpl shelves inside the now opened TV cabinet. We plan on building a closet on the side of the door closest to the queen bed & a panty & another storage bench under the big window. Hope to get a ramp and spare tire carrier made, raise the bed frame on 2X3 wood & possibly place reflective foil under to help with drafts. Remote control is already ordered for the power awning & I'll be adding the LED light strip under the awning. Trailer didn't come with stabilizer jacks, so these will also be added. Plenty more will be attempted I'm sure & yes I'll take plenty of pics to document the process

Alberta Canada and believe it or not -16 isn't that bad when you work outside and the temps have already been in the -30 range

Yes we will have cold days but not like that

So should I start a new thread Pimp My 25RR as the modifications have started

On the 2013 model the TV panel looks like the rest of the wood in the trailer, so when I took it out to do the TV cabinet mod, I took it to Home Depot to try and get a good match. Ordered a cpl replacement LED bulbs to try in the light fixtures and a strip to use in the range hood. Also ordered the 5m RGB Awning LED's and the remote for the power awning. Plan on removing one of the sofas and installing my own cabinets along that entire wall as the trailer is severely lacking in storage options. Also plan on raising the bed and making the frame longer and wider at the end of the bunk and will be placing insulation over the storage compartment. Winter is here so the mods will take time, but I do plan on documenting everything including drawings for the cabinets/benches to give better storage

Currently I have a choice of taking either the 2007 Suzuki DL650 aka the Wee Strom an adventure/Touring bike or a 2006 Suzuki S83 formerly known as a VS1400 Intruder aka my "billet barge". These are my "mistresses" as The_Filly (my lady) doesn't get upset if I ride them

Just a note on our 25RR weight as FR says it weighs in at a dry weight of 4,697lbs. On our way home from the dealer we stopped at a weigh scale at a local truck stop and weighed the camper. It tipped the scales at 1800kg or 3968lb. Wonder if FR uses the fibreglass model for it's trailer weight. We'll check it again with the one sofa removed & our cabinetry installed
