Mods to Lacrosse 311

We picked the trailer up end of October, DW had to have some surgery done so we were unable to take her out as planned. We did do several days in the driveway to test out systems and have had our adult children stay in it over the holidays so it has had a little use.
Lots of things to do but here are some of what we have done so far,
Added tool box

I especially like the remote control modification so we can more easily get to the bathroom for emergency roadside stops. Signed his DW 😉

Our Flagstaff 21ds had 3 cupboard doors and 2 blanks. The dealer pretty much said forget about trying to get 2 more doors so I bought two 9" mirrors at Dollar Tree, epoxied some tiny brass hinges and a couple of little magnets to keep them shut. Total cost was about $5.

We cant reach the lights when sitting in the chairs,
DW was planning on using a stick to reach hers from her seat,
I prefer tech, so I added a remote with 2 fobs so ether of us can turn on and off the 2 lights from anywhere in the trailer...

Here you are,
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazon $17.99.
Cut it in just after the main light switch.
If the link wont do it, it is
LEDENET DC12-24V Wall-mounted Touch Screen Panel LED Dimmer Switch for Single Color LED Lights
