I am on page 132 of 324 and my neck is so stiff. I do have a few mods I have done over the years, like using a marine bilge pump to transfer water from a jug into the water tank. ran two wires to the batteries and put in a on/off switch near the pump to control the power. I also bought a house filter at wal mart and used a highway safety cone to hold the filter in place at the city water intake. I just cut off the top of the cone to fit the filter housing and the cone also marked the location so no one tripped over the hose. many have stated the use of wooden poles to hold up the bed while gaining access to the storage area. I used a kitchen table leg that you can get at the RV store that folds and also can be made longer or shorter by pushing on the little tab. it folds out of the way when the bed is down and easily opens up to hold the bed up. of course you have to screw in the leg and some may not like that idea. I also wired in a porch light under the bed so I could see what I was looking for.
