LivinLite CampLite Counter Top, Floor, TV, Microwave, Bed
We purchased a new 2010 CampLite 11 a few years ago. It's an early CampLite off of the LivinLite 2010 production line. This CampLite came equipped with 13,500BTU AC & portable water tank under the sink with a manually operated pump faucet. It also has a empty weight of 1,400 pounds and 2,200 GVW.
We wanted additional counter top space and to try camping without water tank & sink. This CampLite did not have LP gas system, stove, and furnace. Started using paper plates, cleaning coffee maker, electric skillet, coffee mugs, and hands with Clorox wipes. Carry bottled water for Coffee & drinking.
While visiting "Lil' Snoozy" manufacturing plant in South Carolina, picked up an idea. They use 120V double burner range top for cooking. Most campgrounds we visit have electric hookups, so we decided to start cooking with a Teflon coated electric skillet and heating with a ceramic heater. Eventually added a $28 700W microwave.
"Lil' Snoozy" also uses a Cassette Toilet without black water tank. Like this idea, too. We decided to carry a porta potty to prevent the middle of the night trip to the restroom. "If" we move up to a larger camper, want to have a Cassette Toilet installed.
We keep a 35 quart Engle Deep Blue high performance 35 quart ice chest in the back of the pickup with Leer shell to keep the animals out at night.
Original Sink:
Wide angle view of the new counter top and dinette set up as a permanent 60"X80" Queen bed with memory foam mattress. Use gaucho couch with portable aluminum table as a dinette.
Made brackets out of aluminum angle to secure the TV:

Used aluminum angle to secure the microwave:
Aluminum floor:

After these modification checked the new trailer weight to be sure it was within GVW.
