Secured the bumper ends. Added PVC square tube for the larger rhino sewer hose. Took care of the TP issue, towel rack over the bathroom door. Secured remotes with Velcro. Added a key hook next to the door. Not big modifications, but conveniences that are needed, IMO.

We have a 2306 too. Great little TT. We did some mods also,,,,Lets see, remote secured (check) Towel racks (check) key rack (check) To do list end caps, Square PVC, and tissue holder. Thanks for the ideas. Why didn't I think of those.

We added shelves in both closets next to the bed and made a pantry area in the closet between the bunks and stove.

Great mods. Love the wheel chocks. I'm guessing those are 4x4s you used. How long of a bolt did you use?

We have Rockwood's sister Flagstaff 23lb. Made a few similar mods like you. Also did shelving in the wardrobes next to the bed. Just bought new shower head, but haven't installed yet. Also bought a tv tilt arm to help with the tv angle at the dinette. Haven't installed that yet either. Pickup the trailer from storage in 2 weeks.

I bought a two foot of threaded stock and cut it with a hack saw to fit. Didn't measure it, but It must be about 16 inches or so.

I also had time today to put a mouse pad under the water pump.

For a second I thought this was a picture of my own set-up.
Ours is made from hardwood skid runners. I used a coupling nuts
on top because of the adjustable wrench I use.
Gotta get one of those wrenches though.
You will get excellent service from these.

Where did you get the toilet paper hook? We have the same camper and still haven't addressed the TP holder issue lol. Great mods!

I got it at Home Depot. I've seen it at Walmart too. It is an over the tank TP roll holder. There is a metal piece that hooks on a porcelain tank on a toilet. I had to cut that off.

If you have not done so (and if you want), you can take a piece of vinyl gutter to go inside the pvc square tube to slide the hose in and out of the tube. Attach a handle to the gutter. This coming week, I will try to take a picture of mine. I used a vinyl fence post for the tube and painted it black.

What tape/glue did you use or did you drill holes in glass? Thanks in advance.

Nice job! I made similar wheel chocks as you, but I use my drill instead of a wrench to install them (I also have a wrench in case the battery's die of course). You just need to cut your threaded rod down to the point it doesn't stick up and push the socket off as you tighten.

Bonus: I also use the drill to lower/raise the scissor jack supports

Mounted it on a pc of 1/4" thick Lexan, counter sunk for the nuts and used the 5# 3M double sided tape.

Here's my attempt at taming the shoe issue.

etothepii, can you provide more details on the shoe contraption you built? Maybe a pic with no shoes. Great idea.
