Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

I started my mods about 3 hours after getting the camper. The first thing I didn't like was that the fan ran constantly on the AC since its not ducted. I purchased the control box for the coleman mach 3 and ran all the wires to it, and fished them through the ceiling and over to the thermostat so now its thermostat controlled. Only problem I had was it took me about an hour to realize the ac unit was not grounded to the TT, so once I ran the ground it works great! and the fan doesn't run constantly anymore. Then after camping for a few weekends, I decided we needed a shoe cupboard, so I cut a hole under the bunks and ordered a matching door and hardware from coachmen and built the enclosure. My oldest kept falling out of the half bunk, so I extended the top bunk to go the full way across, and I was able to keep the cupboard by taking the door apart and cutting it down to accommodate the full mattress. I also ordered matching paneling and seam tape to make everything look factory below the bunk. I replaced the standard foam queen mattress on our bed with an actual queen mattress, so I cut the foam mattress down to fit the bottom bunk, and cut the bottom bunk mattress down to fit the top bunk and go around the cupboard. And lastly I added a set of backup LEDs to the rear bumper and connected them in to the reverse lights on my tow vehicle. They really light up a dark camp site when backing in!
