- JbrowlandExplorerI have only done pretty minor stuff so far but they have all been helpful.
1. Replaced tube lights with LED fixtures throughout the RV. This was my biggest project to date as I had to re-wire 18 fixtures.
2. Added a handle to help shut the screen door. Simple and cheap but very effective, especially with kids going in and out.
3. Added vent covers on the roof.
4. Added one of those fabric shoe pocket/racks that hang over a closet door (cut in half so it fits) by the entrance for stuff we always need like flash lights, keys, wallet, and and the like.
5. Added an awning because mine didn't come with one.
6. Mounted a paper towel rack and tissue rack.
7. Rear bike mount.
8. Just added two new front tires thanks to a pile of large nails that magically appeared. Good times.
9. Replaced a broken generator switch thanks to help I got here.
10. Replaced a broken mirror arm with help I also got here.
11. Oxygenics shower head.
12. New digital radio. Best $100 bucks I have spent on the RV so far.
Next up will be replacing the thermostat with a basic digital one I purchased. I would also like to add a fantastic fan or the like. - craz_zExplorer1. Solar Number one best mod. Should be standard.
2.More amp hour batteries.
3.Dually valves check air in 5 minutes rather the half an hour and the piece of mind.
4.Inverter who watches tv with a genny running
5.Epdm coating on the roof why let it leak when you can renew the roof
6.Vinyl hardwood by far the biggest bang for buck rvs with carpet disgust me
7.Memory foam topper who is in charge of rv mattresses they should be fired.
8.Vertical bike rack and paddleboard carrier and kitesurf carrier diy rear hitch mount.
9. New blinds
10. Major maintenance front to rear using SFR lubricants all around. And new rubber front to rear including tires.
11. Scan gauge installed
Next up will be tpms

;) - blownstang01ExplorerDually valves already on order. When I bought it (2008 E450, 24,000 miles) Camping World installed 6 new tires and I couldn't believe that it has rubber valve stems. Not even the high pressure rubber neither. Ugh
- tpiExplorer1. The whole enchilada of handling mods- anti roll bars, track bar, alignment, Koni FSD. Very beneficial and if I ever got another E series class C, I'd do them immediately. Not drag them out over a couple years like I did.
2. Replaced Parallax 7345 power converter with a Progressive Dynamics 4645. Gives faster recharge on generator.
3. Added one 100W solar panel to the factory 200 watt system.
4. LED bulbs to replace incandescent. Added some interior lighting capacity. Retained installed fluorescent fixtures but substituted clear lenses for improved efficiency of fixtures.
5. Replaced 19" Jensen TV with 28" LED Vizio TV. Added Blu Ray player.
6. Very low consumption Macbook Air computer.
7. Digital thermostat for furnace.
8. Foam pad on cabover sleeping area to increase comfort. - dicknellenExplorer IIDuallyvalves http://yourtireshopsupply.com/category/796/dually-valve-kits
