1- Added a set of speakers in the master bedroom.
2. On our 2013 SP 260 the television rotated clockwise. I re-did so it would rotate counter clockwise to make it better viewing from the dinette.
3. Installed a 20 inch long, 1/4 inch wide strip of reflective tape centered and plumb in the front of our camper. On my rear window I have an inverter V. I use that for line up when backing in to hook up the camper.
4. Glued small pieces of 1/4 plywood behind many of the stripped screw through out our camper.
5. Command Hooks!
Since the thread is top five I wont number the ones I forgot about, LED interior bulbs, and I rekeyed all the outside locks match the key on my tonneau cover.

An oxygenics shower head has been the best mod so far. Better than my shower at home.

1. Solar
2. Oxygenics shower head
3. Pillow top mattress cover
4. O.C. awning pole supports/tie downs
5. LED lighting fixtures
Seems like a pattern is emerging. A good hot shower.... decent nights sleep without having to worry about your awning blowing away or running your batteries down if you fall asleep with the lights on....
I'll take the win

1. Replaced factory pin box with Tri Glide pin box
2. Added Equa Flex suspension and Correct Track alignment system
3. Installed Dirt Devil Central Vac system
4. Reconfigured satellite/cable wiring in basement, added DirecTV SWM and power inserter and added satellite outlet in bedroom. One coax line in to the docking station and I've got satellite signal to entertainment center, bedroom and basement.
5. JT Strong Arms
One of these items would have been replaced with my 50 Amp Progressive Industries surge protector but I went with the portable unit, not the hard wired so it's not really a mod.

My trailer wouldn't be my trailer, Sorry. If I had to pick I guess it would be the 5 things OC did for me and I didn't do myself.
