Majestic 19G renos have started
Well I have done some renos to the motor home, a couple are smaller but two of the bigger ones are carpet and underlay and a tray placed in the empty spot where the generator goes.
The carpet is the same as what I had in the TCer, makes it seem more like home. REALLY shocked at how warm the floor was in the camper without the carpet but with carpet and underlay it is warmer and helps to dull any noises. One thing I learned from the TCer was to leave it a little larger than what I need as it seems to shrink once installed, will leave it for a few months then trim to an exact size.
The second big thing was to get a tray made to go where the generator would have gone. I was going to get the generator but at $4000 it seemed like a waste when I can get a portable one for $1200 or use the one that I have till it dies. PLUS with more battery power I could go camping without the generator and know that I could get through the night without an issue using the furnace.
The plan was to get a tray to hold an additional group 31 battery but when I measured it out I told the guy making it to put it all the way across. Then when I went for the batteries I decided that I would get 4 6V and use them (Each battery has 235AH). The 6V fit with NO extra space from front to back like we knew what we were doing. ONLY issue is that I now have a battery tray that is of no use to me. Think I may clean it out and find a small tool box to put there with some emergency tools and supplies.
