We had the sofa, the dining room chairs and all the valances reupholstered and put in a new Aqua Magic Residence toilet. I have some linoleum left and plan to do the basement with it. Cost me about $2000.
Sweet!

Not sure if this link will work but if you check out the seller foammattressdiscounts you can find it. Was $299 delivered.

RV 10" inch Queen Size Medium Firm Memory Foam Mattress w 3" Cool Memory Foam | eBay

We have a foam mattress at home (have had it for about 5 years) and the Wife likes this one better then the one in the house seems the same to me.

Put shelfs in all the upper cabinets! I can't believe how much more room you gain by adding these! I have an open cabinet dedicated just for food now!

2 old poster frames worth of plastic and a few Velcro sticky tabs and I have a storm door! I know its not the greatest off plastics, but it cost me ZERO $$$ and the DW loves those kinds of mod's! Cuts great with a utility knife, just don't press very hard or it will crack. Make several 8-10 passes to score the plastic and it snaps right on the line!

Nice! Is that a truck box from Lowes? How did you attach it to your trailer? Don't forget to vent the battery?

Yes Lowe's mid size truck box. Already has slits built in to the ends for venting. I mounted it by 2 bolts and a metal plate on both frame rails. I can take a pic if needed.

I have an '08 model which was the last of the years with the big, old style TV cabinet. I have no intention of using it for a big, fat TV, and it's a lot of cabinet space. I was able to order a custom cabinet door online and stained it to match (as best I could). Total cost was $38.

I hate how TT doors have a huge gap at the top & bottom of the bathroom door. My model has plenty of ventilation and has a forced air heater duct in the bathroom, so air flow and temperature control is no issue. I decided to make a custom door to reduce the gap to 1/4 inch at top & bottom. I had to move one ceiling light and covered the old hole with a plastic wall door knob guard.

My stereo has an aux input, but it's behind the stereo and can only be accessed with a screw driver. I drilled a hole and connected a mini stereo jack so I can connect an MP3 player.

All that work looks very good!

I put the underbelly sewer hose holders under the belly. I posted it in another thread but here it is again. I also swapped all the interior lights over to the 48 LED warm white lights that are incredible.

Well we upgraded to a coachmen 28dds from a jayco jay feather sport197. Since picking up in February I have put hooks to hang awning rod, stabilizer crank, marshmallow forks, built a fishing rod holder, mounted a 32 led tv.

better late then never! Sorry so slow!

Inside of box is head of bolt with a giant washer and a rubber washer between box and metal washer to keep it waterproof. I just cut a piece of angle iron (still need to paint) to hold the box to the frame with the 2 bolts. 1 on each side of the frame rail at each end of the box.

Just put on a TV mount and a cable out so we can move TV outside on nice nights.
