You might give some thought to adding a 2 gal pressure tank in the space where the water filter came out of. I did that to mine and its is one of the better mods I have done.

Those fans seem like a good idea. Do they help? Are they battery powered or do they run off of 12 volts? Jay

They are 12V. The power wire is ran out along with the thermistor wire and it connects to the fridge 12V input behind the service panel.

Thanks a lot. That seems like a better option to me than a battery powered fan

I added a computer fan to mine as well. I wired it to the intererior light switch to work opposite of the light bulb, ie on when door is closed, off when door is open.
I hooked up the positive side to the source side of the door switch, then hooked up the negative side to the light side of the door switch. That way it grounds through the light bulb. When the door is opened and the light bulb turns on, it interupts the ground and turns the fan off automaticlly so you don't push all your cold air out the bottom of the fridge while it is open. Then when you shut the door, the fan turns back on automatically.

It is plastic fence post with a slide out drawer made from plastic rain gutter. I believe its 4" X 4". I made it for our prior trailer a few years ago. If I made it for the new trailer, I would have used black.

The fence posts are usually 5" x 5"

It might be. It is whatever size the plastic gutter fits into perfectly. I just went to Lowes and found the parts.

Did a couple more mods over the weekend; installed our Progressive Industries hard-wired surge protector system, and removed the factory water filter to safeguard against leaks and make room for a future central vacuum install.

Instead of a central vac system, I put one of these Dyson V8 Absolute Cord-Free Vacuum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IENFJ14..._zJcfAb17BN5DH in my trailer and the wife really loves the cord and hose free solution. I put mine in the front closet in the vee part of my Winjammer 3019w and added an electrical outlet in closet to keep charged. It works great on hardwood or carpet and there are several models that are less expensive than this model.

Added few more mods today. Installed folding cup holders next to the couch, hung up a few decorations and key hooks, and added a screen door protector to the main screen door.

Windjammer 3008v 2019
Its been a few years since I tried to post and can't figure out how to start a new thread. This question goes along with your mods. Does anyone know if the sanitary hoses can go in the bumper of the 3008V? Our dealer thought you could still store in the bumper but reading the forum it seems this is not an option. Thanks

Some hoses can fit, but the larger, heavier duty hoses like the Rhino hose have fittings that are a bit too large to fit easily into the bumper. Also, the metal bumper gets rusty and rough and sliding the hose in and out will eventually cause tears in the hose.

The strapping used for the Fence post storage to frame is? Got any close ups of those so I can look at Lowes and is that fence post 72" long?
