Hello from Central IL

Hi. I am the owner of a Flagstaff 2012 DD. I purchased it used last year and took it out twice. Unfortunately on the second trip, I herniated my back, so this spring has been fitting it out with some back friendly mods.!
I love the wonderful information on this site!

Welcome to the forum from Bainbridge, Ohio. I hope your back is doing better, I had the surgery on my herniated disk years ago with no pain since. What type of mods have you done to help you out? Some of your mods might help others,

Thanks everyone! My first mod was adding a 9 inch memory foam mattress. The rear dinette is now a dedicated sleeping area. Water hoses went on a wheeled garden hose caddy (be sure to put it on the opposite way you would a garden hose - you need to connect to filter at RV or pop up.) The porta potty was replaced by a higher model - meets ADA height! Drill attachment for the stab jacks and an electric tongue jack. Currently working on inside access to storage compartment that are under the new bed area.

Good idea on your wheeled garden hose caddy for your water hoses. Be careful, once you start with the mods it's hard to stop .
