Camping ideas
I have seen some great ideas that make your camping fun and enjoyable. What have you done, added, modified and retrofitted to your pup that makes you never want to stop camping?

I put a Winegard TV antenna like TT's use on our old PUP. It was great for rainy days and keeping track of the weather.

A tv is our next add on, I do not like being in the dark when it comes to the weather.

It kind of unnerving drilling a 3/4" hole in the roof, but it was worth it for sure. Use plenty of sealant...

You can see the location I picked. About 2' back and 2' in on the left front side. It worked out nice.

One of the things we like the best when pup camping was making the bed wing darker. We used a small tarp.
And those pup with slide out are great, we loved ours!

Sold our pup many years ago but some mods I'm glad I did were:
*Digital setback T-stat
*Reflectix mod in the tent end windows, really helped with the heat and AC
*Solar blankets on tent end roofs
*Extended the water tank drain valve so I wouldn't have to crawl under to drain it
*Battery cut off switch

I built a simple inexpensive kitchen box to keep kitchen equipment clean / dry and easily accessible. I put two sterilite plastic organizer drawers sideways in a large plastic storage bin. It is easy to transport, It can be left out on a picnic table ( just sit upright and put lid on) as it is waterproof. It contains, dinnerware, flatware, coffee, condiments, and various other kitchen items, I mounted a removable paper towel holder on the side

I download a bunch of movies from DISH to my Sony Tablet. If the weather turns bad, I just watch a movie. Works pretty good.
