YES. Congrats on your trailer purchase. Just like buying a vehicle, a house, a boat or other high price ticket item, do shop around. Prices and Service do vary.... And, sometimes dramatically vary!!!

After you get your RV/TT home and you've settled into it, do think of the many mods (upgrades) that are needed as well. Unknown to some, RVs/TTs are built at minimum code with minimum features. And, not much more. For a few mods for your RV/TT, may I suggest:

Just to name a few upgrades:

- Install extra 12V computer fan behind fridge to keep it cooler during extra hot days. Great upgrade.
- Re-routed its PEX piping to allow easy bi-pass (for winterization tasks).
- Install RV Surge Protection. Better than factory.
- Install better / quieter fan in bathroom. Better than factory.
- Installed 12V manual battery switch. Better than factory.
- Upgraded to STAR brake wiring instead of default linear brake wiring. Better than factory.
- Removed 11 of its windows, removed its inner lip foam (that always leaks in time) and re-sealed each winter - the proper "old school" way. Better than factory.
- Installed Roof vent covers (black over bedroom area and white over bathroom).
- Tinted windows on the kids bedroom - to allow them to sleep in longer.
- Installed 12V light above the TV (to see TV buttons). Better than factory.
- Installed longer master bed base to allow longer house queen bed (instead of short queen bed).
- Installed 12V safety lighting on its stairs. Better than factory.
- Installed galvanized wire mesh around Hot Water tank. Thus, stopping "stuff" in same storage compartment from hitting / laying against the rear of HW tank, and eliminate the risk of fire. Much better than factory.

Buying a RV/TT is the first phase. Making it better than factory's minimum build for your unique needs is the next steps...
