What's the most useful mod you've made

[OldCoot]

With all the mods that folks have made to their units, what would be the top 5 you've made?

[ependydad]

Tied for #1...

1) Installed your awning poles and brackets. Very rarely do we now take the awning in which means we now have livable and usable space outside. We're able to leave the chairs out and table setup, etc.

1) My desk. Working fulltime from my camper is such a different experience today than it was last summer.

3) Installing the Steadyfast system. We had to go without for a few days and I was really surprised/reminded at how much movement that these take out.

4) Taking out a sofa and converting that to a play/desk area in our bunkhouse. This gives the kids much more usable space.

5) My sewer holders using vinyl tubes.

I guess, though- I haven't really done that many mods.

You know I haven't made that many mods if I list the vent cover. I haven't cut in a new door or anything. Mine is almost a "Mod free 5er" like OC's.

the first four were repeats from our previous trailer.........

1) covered the stove top and surrounding area to make a cooking area for all of wife's electrical cooking appliances, with fence around the edges for travel....

2) enlarged the dinette table top to accommodate two laptops and still have space for dining, with fence around the edges for travel....

3) installed carpet over vinyl flooring...

4) installed brackets under each trailer side to hold the greasy WDH bars after removing them at the campground and at home....

5) awning posts and de-flapper rails

Mounted bicycle fork mounts to the under side of the dinette seats to transport bikes inside the camper. Protects from thieves and weather. Never have to worry about the bikes if we stop for dinner. Weight of bikes is on axles reducing impact on tongue weight and towing stability.

Changed keyed lock for outdoor shower to keyless turn-latch. So far no ninjas have showered without our knowledge. But then again, they are ninjas, so...

Oxygenics shower head. Many of the mods I see listed came standard on mine. We are almost a stock fiver so I only have a couple things to choose from. I do have some future plans though such as insulating pantry from fridge and outside heat sources, build a pipe set up to stay in place for draining both gray tanks easier, and talk dh into OC/Turbs awning mod,

On my old tt, the electric tongue Jack.

I clamped the bracket to the frame I-beam, the inside is clamping with a single bolt and over-sized washer,..... the curb side bracket also holds the sway control bar,..... I stuck a small strip of blue painters tape on the bottom trailer edge to show where they are located, so I don't have to feel under there or bend over and look for it every time,.....I do remove the hitch, and put it in my truck bed, working on a better place for it, but haven't got that worked out yet,.......
