New to the forums. TT is a 2017 Keystone Bullet 287QBS. Got is last September. Lots of mods already. Here is the list.
Trailer
Being an Ultra Lite, the day I took it out of the dealer and brought it home for the kids to "visit" the bunkhouse, one of the bunk ended-up like this.
I used birch plywood that I stained and heavy duty hinges to reinforce the bunk. Now I can sleep in it.
Next was to install MaxAir II as well as 200W of solar panels as we often dry camp. I used Eternabond tape for the solar panels. Wires go in through fridge exhaust, routed under the belly to the pass through storage.
Charge controller
Remote inside
Then a few USB ports to charge our devices, fed from 12V.
A few LED in dark cabinets
High quality mattress with memory foam
Tongue jack
Fans for the fridge with a switch accessible from the outside
LEDs everywhere (not shown but I also did the fridge and the range hood)
Painted the drums, they were rusty
There is no fender or protection above the wheels, only the thin plastic sheet. I sprayed rubber.
Multiple hooks
Shelves in several cabinets (not all shown) all made of birch plywood.
Washroom cabinet shelf and paper holder
Wife wanted to keep the hanger but I added a shelf above
I got rid of it and installed 2 shelves on my side
Recent addition is a pair of leveler. I used 2x8 that I ran through my planner and laminated together.
Varnish
Rubber spay for the bottom
The finished product (cat not included)
Next on the list
- Wheel chocks (under construction)
- 30A mouse entry
- Tongue box to house my battery(ies) and tools
- Gas strut so my wife can access the under-bed storage
- Counter extension
- More LEDs in dark cabinets
- Access door to the hot water heater from inside
- Slide topper
