Top additions since moving to a MH

After 10 years in an already 10-year old pop-up, we upgraded to a 2015 3170DS. After our maiden voyage this past weekend, we nominate the following as our top 3 "luxury" additions to the MH.

1. Portable Ice Maker
Ice for my beverages all weekend in 90+ heat and humidity. No trips to the camp store.

2. K-Cup Coffee Maker
No loose coffee grounds. No filters. No fetching water from the hydrant. No waiting on the old perculator coffee pot over the coleman.

3. Satellite TV
NFL preseason under the awning. 'Nuff said.

Other than the "stuff" that comes with your MH, what "luxury" add-ons have you made since moving to a MH?

We have the Keurig portable, planning to upgrade to one we can just poor water in and choose which size cup to fill.
We have satellite TV, using a Winegard satellite dish, hoping to upgrade to an auto tune one in future.
I want ice maker, DH says it can wait.
We do have a 3" memory foam cover on the bed and it makes a huge difference in comfort!

I has all set to install a central vac but was talked out of it by folks that had one. Instead I bought a Dyson rechargeable that has attachments for cleaning corners and steps. It's out of the way and the charge lasts plenty long to get everything clean.

We added a Temper Pedic mattress and recliners in place of the couch.

My best upgrade was the roof mounted satellite dish. Just push a button and it sets up automatically. Jim
