After cleaning & fixing a few minor issues plus working on eliminating as many rattles as possible I did change out most the light to LED's.I will finish that portion first thing when I get it home. Second thing i need to work on is setting it up for winter use. going to order heat blankets for the all tanks & wrap all waterlines with heat tape. I'm thinking of mounting 4 golf cart batteries in the lower compartment with a diode on the charging cable so they will be dedicated to the purpose of running a small inverter to power the heat blankets & water line only.
The fwd tv has already been replaced with a 42 in flat screen above the fireplace & the rear tv I removed because it was one of those "Boat Anchors" & wife & I don't believe in tv's in the bedroom, I'm thinking of installing a small safe in it's place.

What lower compartment, if I may ask? Those batteries are 67 lbs. EACH! So, that's 268 lbs of batteries on a compartment floor that may or may not be able to handle that kind of weight. And with our less than perfect U.S.roads out in the great U.S.A, I'd be leary of that kind of weight bouncing on a compartment floor.
Good luck on your endeavor.
