I took the cover off my LED lights above the bed and spray painted the inside with white paint. That cut the light output down by 1/3 or so. I'd imagine a second coat or a darker color like grey...

The heater on this unit is either 750 watts on low or 1500 watts on high. This is only about 6 and 12 amps. As long as the circuit you choose to put it on doesn't have another large load on it you...

245BHS fireplace install

Got to thinking it would be nice to have a fireplace to add to the look and feel inside the camper, and also have a built in electric heat source.

I don't have a drain near the axle either. Just in the fresh water tank in front and the low point drains in the very back. Did they move the fresh water tank back on newer models?

I'd like to do this too, was it difficult to remove everything? That space would be much better used for storage.

Mine is like that too, but they both still work. You'd think they would use a sealed LED assembly.

I put one of these on my new trailer earlier this summer and found it was great for keeping an eye on the bike rack while in transit. Works good for backing up too!
