What would you wish for.....?

What would you wish your trailer had? Even though it is cozy, comfy, functional.....what would you wish for?

I added a window awning over the window by the bed on the back side of the trailer. It works great to block incoming sunlight during summer and helps keep the heat out but it also works well in cooler temps too. I can feel the difference late night or early morning hours - that area is not as cold as it could be. I also like that it makes it a bit harder to see in from the outside especially since the bed is right there. I have a smaller trailer without a couch so I use the bed as one.

The ability to add a platform on the back for a motorcycle. My 550 pound bike won't hurt 10" I beam frame rails, plus given the ratio from the tires to the rear bumper and the tires to the hitch I bet it won't offset 250lbs of my 2310 hitch weight.

The ability to play movies off my ipad through the tv and surround sound.

Other than that, it's just right so far.

A window on the living room slide right behind the drivers set, and a broom closet, I had one in my last RV.

wish

A steel locking box, on the front of the "A" frame, in the area of the propane tanks, to hide my Honda generator, and my battery.

A small closet just inside the entry door that is big enough to hold a couple of jackets, a couple of pairs of shoes and some hooks for keys, headlamps and dog leashes.

Something to stick on the front cap of my 5th wheel to catch all the bugs then just take it off at the campground and put a new one on for the trip home no bugs to wash off

I'm testing that tomorrow, I waxed the cap with Meguires marine wax, it's now slippery to the touch. We'll see what happens tomorrow if I don't tow in the rain.

When you try it do a small spot first, then run your hand across it. You can truly feel the difference.

I'll do the sides in a few weeks when I have a day to burn! Lol!

I think I saw something for that somewhere. It was like cling wrap. Can't remember where I seen it. I will see if I can research it and find it.

1. A loop welded onto the frame to clip dog leads too.
2. A build in safe attached to the frame.
3. Strut stabilizer system.
4. Better foam in upholstery.
