Have you made upgrades to your camper?

My McKenzie is a mid range unit with some top end features, some were downright cheesy.

My camper was plumbed with pex tubing which was great, but they used plastic fittings instead of brass so with the movement the fittings are starting to break. We recently had one break behind the shower. So we decided to upgrade the absolutely crummy shower with a Delta with single lever control. It took me a day and a half but what an improvement!
So far we've changed out the Norcold fridge for a Samsung, added a big flat screen TV and bought a better mattress.
We still want to install full extension drawer slides in the bedroom and pull out the carpet for all laminate flooring.

What kind of improvements have you made to your RV?

  • Yaa, I just made an upgrade ... I upgraded the entire camper! Just took delivery of our new Outback 3 days ago! This is a 2013 model with 3 slides, the television that slides up and down along the back full window, and has the electronics for TV, DVD, Bluetooth, MDI (satellite), Iphone technology, you name it, outside speakers.

    So far, we hung a spring loaded shower bar across the bed to attach 2 clip on fans, and we had the dealership install the Max-Air style vent covers on the 3 roof vents. Also purchased that $320 surge protector ... and oh ... 2 brand new outside folding chairs.

    I suppose you can't do a better "upgrade" than this.

    Actually, I don't consider this an "upgrade". It's It's just "new and different"!
