Wildwood FSX 177BH

I just purchased this camper and I'm excited to use it and personalize it. I would love to see what people have done with theirs.
I'm new to the TT world and previously had a pop up and a tent. I didn't realize how much I had to buy...

We just bought a 2020 170SS. Getting ready to use it a couple of times before it gets to cold. We bought alot of little things and sort of like setting up a new house. Ours came with starter kit with hoses, leveling blocks, electrical adapters, etc.
One thing I did already was install a lift shock on the overhead cabinet above the bed. It keeps the door open by itself.
I would like to also see what others have done to their forest rivers. Click image for larger version

Yeah it is a little like setting up a new house. Mine has a lot of things I like, a few that I think could be improved. One thing I would recommend is getting the storage compartments rekeyed. I also bought 2 little alarms one for the cargo and one for the main door.
I have very little counter space so I'll be adding a flip up counter.
I'll add photos later today.

I haven't put it in yet - but it basically looks like this - mine I custom sized to the width of the counter and I'm looking for a stain that will kind of match the color scheme

My wife and I own a 2019 170SS. I haven’t done a bunch of modifications yet, but I do want to put drawers under each dining bench. Plus split the under bed storage and add an inside access door. Half of the under bed space is useless because you can’t access it from the one outside door. I’m waiting on an answer from FR regarding where I can purchase matching paneling. That will allow me to make matching drawer fronts and a door.

If you can't find the matching paneling, maybe get a couple pieces and do all alternating pattern?

Did you ever get a response from Fr about the paneling? Might not be a bad idea on my part to order some spare pieces

Spice rack and paper towel holder added to end of kitchen cabinets
Fold up counter to expand counter space
cutting board cover on stove - doubles as splash guard
drawer added under sink
EMS monitor/surge protector hard wired next to circuit breaker box

enjoy personalizing your trailer and camping with it!
